| A
demanding but rewarding trek, going
through thick pine forest and fields
of wild flowers - a profusion of iris,
buttercups, poppies, phulumises and
edelweiss. As you gain altitude, the
scenery gets more dramatic and you have
spectacular views of the mountains.
The changing colours of the mountains
are unique and the evening sunlight
makes the surroundings even more beautiful.
The trek ends at the small picturesque
village of Mud, surrounded by lovely
barley fields. |
