The trek starts from Thalisain via
Pauri, an enchanting hill station presenting a panoramic view of the Garhwal Himalaya
snowy peaks, and on a clear day the sunset view is worth seeing from Kandolia, 5 kms
from Rishikesh, and Kotdwar (way to Pauri). From Thalisain the trek trails through a
very rich forest of deodar, silver, fir, pine and oak wildlife.
Best Season : Winter when it is
not difficult with its ascents and descents. The trek is full of life and the trekkers
will enjoy the scenic beauty throughout.
