Your route to the top takes you through a dense forest of pine trees, often painted white after a fresh snowfall.

The Patalsu peak trek involves trekking over steep inclines for more than 4-5 hrs every day. This moderate intensity trek is perfect for someone with prior trekking experience looking for a challenge.
