On this delightful trail, you hike through fairytale-like forests of oak, rhododendron, and walnut trees. Once you start climbing and getting away from the denser fall of trees, you begin to get the first glimpse of the breathtaking snow-capped peaks like Dronagiri, Nanda Devi, Hathi-Ghoda Parvat. You will see many occurrences of natural beauty as this trail varies greatly, and you should have a high probability of noticing Himalayan birds, mossy boulders, and mountain streams as you walk…. and on a clear day, the sunlight through the tree covers can add a lovely luminosity to the trail.
