This trek is best recommended for adventure lovers fond of rock-climbing, boulder-
hopping and glacier traversing. It is also a treat for nature lovers due to
the range and diversity of plant and animal life. Herds of Bharal (blue mountain
goat) are often spotted on these mountain ridges. Abundance of silver birch
has given birth to the name Bhojkharak, while Chirbasa is also called because
of the clumps of blue pine in the region.
