Starting Location
A perfect long-weekend escape into the cedar and pine forests of Sharan. Jeep in from Paras, settle into a riverside alpine resort, spend a full day hiking through dense forest to the panoramic Manshi Top viewpoint, and return refreshed. Two nights of bonfire evenings, crisp mountain air and total disconnection from the city.
