  • A beautiful trek from Guptkashi. One can go through the dense forest which has a combination of flora and fauna and one loooong stretch of steep up hill climb. get a little adventurous and try this out...its worth it trust me. You will cross one small friendly little village. The easier way is through the road on a jeep. The late Vrati Baba was an amazing man to look at...he had a glow on his face that projected the goodness in him. He knew what life was and you can never forget his face if you've seen him live. It is said he used to eat once a day and climb the kalshila...
