A spectacular ridge walk through the high Garhwal Himalayas, connecting forest trails, alpine meadows and open mountain ridgelines.
Phulara Ridge is known for its long stretches of open ridge walking, offering a different experience from valley-based Himalayan treks.
The trail moves between forests and high meadows before reaching the ridge, where the landscape opens on both sides and distant Himalayan peaks become part of the journey.
