The morning air on Phulara Ridge cuts clean and bright; a thin mist lifts from the meadows and the ridge itself seems to breathe, edges tipping into two different valleys. Walkers begin in Sankri and climb through a carpet of pines, across wooden bridges and through rhododendron corridors until the trail opens onto Bhoj Gadi and the narrow spine of Phulara, where a 250-degree panorama unfolds.
