It’s a moderate level trek. The most difficult part is being able to walk long distances without rest. You need to have the stamina to walk and enjoy at the same time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Best time to visit<\/b><\/p>\n
It is open for 8 months in a year and closed for the monsoon ( May- Aug). Every season has its beauty in this trek. The Rhododendrons along with different flowers make the trek heavenly for spring trekkers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAutumn is a treat as the days are sunny and warm and birds are all around. But it can be a little crowded because of a huge number of people trekking at that time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWinters are the best if you want to experience snowfall with flowers around you. Also, not many people choose to trek in winters so it’s good for people who want privacy and solitude during trekking.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
