A Walk Among the Clouds
The Phulara Ridge Trek in the Sankri range of Uttarakhand offers something very rare in Indian trekking: an actual Ridge Walk.
A ridge is a geographical feature consisting of a continuous elevated mountain top or crest. Walking on a ridge means the mountain slopes sharply downwards on both sides, making you feel like you are walking on the edge of the world. Because there are no immediate high mountains towering right next to you closing the view, you get an uninterrupted 250-degree panorama of massive Himalayan snow peaks like Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, and Kalanag throughout the trek day.
