During a trek, you will be walking over ancient trails that pass over mountain ridges, enjoying picturesque river banks and sleeping in quaint villages.
As you trek, you will be greeted with the sight of lush green and deep forests, mountain valleys that are painted with the seasonal flowers, temples of all sizes, breathtaking snow caps and cries of wild animals and birds.
