I trekked during the monsoon season, and watch as the lush jungle landscapes transitioned into misty oakwood forests, and then into fields covered with wild flowers and cradled by mountains. Incredible sights the entire way. Complemented by incredible local hospitality and of course an incredible guide. Big thank you to Raj! This trek is worth every moment. I will be doing it again.
