The hike is a not very strenuous as one walks on a mule track, which is some 6 - 7 feet wide. Normally it is a 5 hour hike to the base point where camp is established. The following morning, hikers set off early to get a view of the great Himalayan Ranges, as the view is had best in the early morning hours. A one hour hike to the summit, and perhaps a half hour walk back to the base.

Barking deer and mountain goat are some of the wildlife that is often seen on this hike. There is excellent opportunity to spot a variety of birds.
