As you go, you cross one of the most serene sites called Lauri Binayak, where one can take a quick rest and photography.

Passing the pass is such an experience as touching the roof of the world, and high mountains are rising in all directions. This is an instance of pure accomplishment and memories that will never be forgotten about the awesome Himalayan expanse.

Once through the pass, you go down the rocky, alpine terrain to meadows of lush forest. The scenery is also rapidly transformed as you pass through bare highlands to thick rhododendron and oak forests. Your reach Ghopte, a small and remote village up on the cliffs and greenery. This peaceful village will provide you with a relaxing night after the physical demands encountered throughout the day, allowing you a sleeping opportunity before resuming your descent.
