The path itself is located across mostly uninhabited areas in the Himalayan ranges at an elevation of 15,250 ft (4,650m) and for the altitude it is considered as a high range expedition for trekking in India.

The trek consists of trails dug out of rock faces and wooden bridges, cut through deep dark folds in the mountain, glaciers and icy slopes, and over snow fields. Along the way there are white Rhododendrons and expanse of green meadows. The popularity of this trek is not just because of the altitude gain but also the changes in scenery after every hour through snow, rocky terrain, water streams and green meadows which is something that has to be looked out for. It is an 8 day adventure crossing over the high altitude pass to wander over valleys along with the sheeps. To add to it, the thrill of camping at the foot of Rupin Waterfall which is a perfect setting for the adventure that lies ahead.
