More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the homestay before dawn and the air is sharp with pine resin and cold earth. Headlamps bob on the cemented path as the trail slips upward, at first through terraced fields and thatched huts, then into a fir-scented corridor that opens onto a narrow ridge. The crest that holds the Nag Tibba flag arrives like a promised view: a sweep of snow-lines — Bandarpoonch, Gangotri and Kedarnath — drawn clean against the sky.
