This trek is also among some of the many treks that pass
through the dense Deodar forests of Khajjiar. The trail also presents a
chance to explore the various wild horizons and hilly beauty in and around
Dalhousie and the ideal time to trek is during summer. The gradual climb
to Sach Pass (4,890m), which remains open from June to October is toughie!
So be prepared for some steep climbs.
