Buddhist monasteries, Hindu temples, and the snow-capped mountains are the fantastic opportunity this trail offers you.
The beauty of the course with a glimpse of the tremendous Annapurna range, and Langtang range makes this trail excellent for travelers through one of the most distinct views of the Himalayas. It is the least explored hidden trekking trail situated in the Ganesh Himal region of Nepal.
