The trail passes through waterfalls, forests and Limbu villages and shamanistic Rais who practice animism. It leads up to high country from where spectacular close up views of the Kanchenjunga can be seen. Across Tseram the peaks of Rathong and Kabru loom ahead and we climb onto the foot of the Yalung glacier offers incomparable scenery of the kanchenjunga.
