A very good mountain trail following the Tirthan river takes you up to the village Ropa. Then it continues upto the Park gate gradually taking you in a wilder environment. After the gate you remain very close to the river up to Rolla.
Nothing very steep on this trek. The path goes up and down toward the Park gate through some nice forests. From the Gate to Rolla you are with the chanting river in the wilderness of the GHNP.
The Tirthan river will be your companion during the entire trek.
The rock shape in the middle of the stream reminds a bathing hippo !
After the gate you have to cross this beautiful Himalayan bridge
Enjoy the nature and its biodiversity on the way to Rolla.
After about one hour you cross the traditional village of Ropa. Have a chai break !
Rolla campsite has a couple of huts on the campsite.
