The family gets an opportunity to experience the Buddhist way of living and the unique architecture of their houses. The family also comes across different ancient monasteries, Chortens, stupas, and Mani walls along the way. Besides culture, the trekking trail is equally rich scenically, offering beautiful landscapes of sub-alpine terrain, lush forests full of rhododendrons and pines, and breathtaking mountain views.
