Phulara Ridge Trek
One of the few ridge walks in India where you spend most of the trek walking along a high ridge with continuous Himalayan views rather than in valleys. Phulara Ridge runs parallel to the Kedarkantha massif, offering non-stop views of Swargarohini, Black Peak, Bandarpoonch, and Ruinsara peaks. The trail crosses lush meadows with wildflowers and ancient shepherds' camps.
