Reviewed By ketanmehta2015 - Mumbai, India

Its Heaven on earth. If you are fit and moderately active then its easy for you. Visited during 9 - 12th March 2021 to see view from the both world - Snow & Greenery. For solo traveler / experience silence, deep nature & freedom, i recommend to hire guide cum cook from base village who will arrange Tent, Food, Pony and everything you need. Its also cheap. Dayara resort at Barsu introduced guide cum cook Deepak, who was aware of up & downs of every corner of Dayara. Recommended route is Barsu - Bharnala camp - Dayara camp - Bakaria top to Gui camp - Raithal. Or Reverse route. Its unforgettable moments of life.
