Sir as per the information received that road is not motorable yet and only Mules are available at this route upto final peak. you may hire mules for the first part of the trek i.e starting 6 Kms or even before that. In that area much diversity will not be there as most area is populated and height also as like that of Haripurdhar, where we will be Botanizing one day before. thanks
