What to Expect

Expect a serene, offbeat mountain village with basic homestays, crisp mountain air, and panoramic views of peaks like Nanda Ghunti and Trishul. Days are for short walks or trek preparation, evenings for bonfires and stargazing. Internet connectivity is patchy, and amenities are minimal, so come prepared for a digital detox.
