  • Lush green forests

  • Numerous seasonal waterfalls

  • Mist-covered valleys

  • Cool and pleasant weather

  • Fresh mountain landscapes

Monsoon trekking also brings naturally slippery trails and changing weather conditions. Participants should wear proper trekking shoes and follow the instructions of the trek leaders throughout the journey.
