About

Beautiful Dayara Meadows: This is one of the best parts of the trek and also the most scenic stretch. The Dayara Meadows come into view as you climb uphill from the village of Janglik and cross a dense coniferous. On one side of the meadow is a grassy stretch that climbs up the mountain and the other side simply drops down to the canyon below. On the meadows, you may observe the horses galloping or grazing the pastures, a beautiful sight to behold.

The Villages: Both villages Janglik and Barua are two major villages that we will pass on our trail. Janglik and Barua are both ancient Himalayan Villages that give you an understanding of the Himalayan culture. Pay close attention to the architecture, typical to the mountain villages. While crossing Barua, you will also see many fruit orchards as well.

Buran Pass And Snow wall: is a challenging trek that takes you up to an altitude of 15,000 ft. Until June, the pass itself becomes a wall of ice, giving you an incredible rappelling opportunity. It is because of this, that Buran Ghati is becoming more and more popular among trekkers.

Chandranahan Lake: Chandranahan Lake is yet another attraction of the trek. The mystical glacial lake is coveted by the locals. The lake remains frozen almost all year round and sitting here you can enjoy the serenity of the atmosphere and appreciate the visual treat

Litham Campsite: Litham campsite is one of the most scenic campsites along your route. It lies in the confluence of two valleys and you can simply sit here, getting mesmerized by the view. One of the most stunning views in the Litham campsite is the gorgeous waterfalls cascading down from the Chandranahan snout, offering an impressive sight.

Forest Cover: Along your trek, you will cross dense coniferous forest covers that have a charm of their own. Walking through birch, maple, pine and Oak trees as the birds chirp and the sounds of nature make their melody, your senses will be soothed completely.
