The route winds through dense rhododendron forests, moss-covered trees, bamboo groves, and tranquil woodland paths. It gradually rises and dips along the ridge, offering a rewarding chance to appreciate the Himalayas’ natural beauty and rich biodiversity. As we climb higher, the forest grows quieter and more captivating. Occasional clearings reveal views of the surrounding mountains. We pause regularly to take in the peaceful scenery and keep a comfortable pace.
