The trail runs through moss-laden forests of oak, chestnut,
pine, maple, magnolia and rhododendron culminating in the
meadows of Dzongri at 4,000 meters with exceptional mountain
views. It is a naturalist’s paradise. These forests harbor

attention with equally spectacular varieties of birds and
butterflies. Some of the animals found along this trail are the
Himalayan Black Bear, Barking Deer, Musk Deer, Marbled Cat,
