Overview
Experience 10 days trekking through untouched traditional villages to reach the holy lake Bhairav Kunda. Bhairav Kunda, one of the holiest shrines for Shamans, bears the name of Lord Shiva's destructive form.

These include the holy Bhairav Kunda, the incredible Himalayan scenery and the life style of nomadic people unchanged by time.
