This is an amazing and enjoyable meditative trail for comfortable hiking. This was the ancient legendary path, but it was abandoned after the road facility was approached. A few years back, the local Government of this region had developed it again for a comfortable trek along the thrilling historical ridges. The trail offers unique scenes of the Himalayas, as well as harmonious landscapes, diverse flora, and abundant fauna. You never meet vehicles except hearing them far away from your path.

Useful Info

Best Time to Trek

Autumn (September to November): This is considered the prime season due to stable weather, clear skies, and excellent mountain views. Temperatures are mild, and the monsoon rains have cleared.

Spring (March to May): Another excellent time, characterized by blooming rhododendron forests, warmer temperatures, and clear views. Towards late May, there might be an increase in rainfall as the monsoon season approaches.

Winter (December to February) is also possible but requires warmer gear as temperatures can drop significantly, and snow can be present at higher altitudes.

Monsoon (June to August) brings heavy rain, making trails slippery and increasing the risk of landslides and leaches, hence it's generally not recommended.
