The trek was pretty good; yeah the number of people was quite lesser yet we enjoyed it to the fullest. Il went there without any experience but returned with some beautiful tales of the Himalayas. Banbanjara had arranged everything nicely, mainly the members of the Operation Department have guided and helped me a lot, from bookings to inquiries and similarly the during-trek queries.

The trek is very popular because of its very easy accessibility. I must say it's easier than that. Most of the part of the track is fenced. You can go there and come back within a day. No need to carry food or water bottles, all are available along the track. Can hire tent at peak. No guides are required.
