❄️ Snow Still Drapes the Summit

Straight from our trusted local guide — snow persists above Dunda, the final base camp before the summit push. Trekkers should prepare for snow gear at higher elevations. Expect postcard-perfect slopes as you ascend the pass, with the right amount of adventure underfoot.

⛺ Big Players Are On Trail

The buzz is unmistakable — all major trekking outfits have hit the trail. You’ll spot IndiaHikes, Trek the Himalayas, Bikat Adventures, and Hike in Himalayas, with full batches operating and camps set up. This adds both comfort and safety for those navigating the route independently or in small groups.

This is the season where Buran Ghati feels like a pilgrimage of passionate hikers. The trail is lively with groups, stories shared around camps, and plenty of trail camaraderie. That said, expect a bit more activity at key campsites — early setup is always wise.
