Landscape & temperature: There are amazing landscapes on this trek, it is a very comfortable temperature, and a green region. Very beautiful hills and hillocks, wide ranges of high mountains with beautiful views. Horizontal meadows and wide valleys with perfect temperatures. Alpine contour with the Rocky Mountains, face-to-face mountains. Minus 5 degrees at night at Khopra Danda in November, then everywhere is a comfortable temperature.
Accommodations and Food: Everywhere we can find very neat and clean local lodges and hotels with the best food items. Select the food according to your choices on the hotel's Menu. Almost the Menu is similar everywhere. They provide normal rooms with clean beds. They have a very wide, clean, and warm dining room. They provide a common hot shower, bathroom, and toilets. The attached bathroom at Khopra Danda is impossible, unlike everywhere it is possible.
Drinking water: Everywhere you can get fresh running water, but we recommend using some purifier tablets or a filtered water, or you can buy mineral water or filtered water.
Altitude Sickness: You should not be worried about altitude sickness on this trek. However, the Mountain has its own discipline; you cannot turn the character of the mountain into your character. Follow the theory of going higher and sleeping at a lower altitude. Go slower, drink enough water, take enough acclimatization, and supply enough energy. You may feel a bit of altitude symptoms during the visit to Khayar Lake. Otherwise, you should not be worried about altitude sickness on this trip. We recommend descending at a lower altitude if someone gets altitude sickness or takes some prescribed medicine for altitude sickness.
