The path leading towards the Dhumdharkandi Pass is adorned with lush forest and beautiful alpine meadows. These splendors of Mother Nature are stretched up to Kiyarkoti – vast grazing land.

It is not that the wonders of nature come to end at Kiyarkoti, but they touch all new horizons here. The alpine meadows of this area are bejeweled with vivid topography, at the top is the birch forest and at the bottom is the garden of boulders.
