Here, travelers can indulge in a well-earned picnic, soaking in the serene scenery amid the backdrop of snow-capped summits. The circular route culminates in a descent through lush alpine meadows and rugged valley trails, making this trek a perfect combo of challenge and reward.

Whether you're a seasoned hiker or an outdoor enthusiast seeking a scenic day in the mountains, this adventure delivers a blend of adrenaline, natural wonder, and cultural history.
