A not known trek with few traces of footsteps “Vijay Top” is the real paradise overshadowing all other mighty peaks in Garhwal Himalayas.
A Real Paradise in Winters
The real beauty of the magnificent mountains is revealed here, it remains engulfed by the snowfall in winters. A thick snow sheet covers this mighty peak making it pristine and in summers the scenery changes from white to all green which resembles the wonderland not traversed by many. This trek is hidden beauty among the Himalayan Mountains not known by the trekkers and can be called a true gem.
