Trip Overview

Limited numbers of trekkers are only allowed for trekking in this restricted region each year to protect and conserve the environment and local Tibetan tradition. The trail passes through a steep and rough area along with the view of the striking renowned mountain scenery of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Nilgiri, and more than 35 mountains over 6000m.
