About The Trek
Phulara Ridge Trek
The Phulara Ridge Trek is one of the most unique ridge walks in the Indian Himalayas. Unlike conventional treks that follow valleys for most of the route, Phulara Ridge takes you along a high mountain ridge, offering spectacular panoramic views on both sides.
Starting from Sankri, the trek passes through dense Himalayan forests, beautiful meadows and open ridge sections. From the ridge, trekkers can enjoy magnificent views of snow-covered peaks and surrounding valleys.
The trail is particularly beautiful during the spring and autumn seasons, when the forests are lush and the mountain views are clear. The combination of forests, meadows, ridge walking and Himalayan panoramas makes Phulara Ridge an excellent choice for trekkers looking for something different from the usual trekking routes.
Taxes and additional charges may apply.
