About the trek
What to expect on this route
Khaliya Top offers an unusually quick transition from temperate forest to open alpine meadow. It works well for active travellers who want a meaningful mountain walk without committing to a long expedition.
The route is also rewarding for landscape photography, birding and winter snow experiences when conditions are suitable.
