Season at a Glance
Editor's Notes
Very few visitors know that the Gara-Gushaini trail in January is extraordinarily peaceful and clear. The frost on the walnut leaves, the crystal-cold roar of the Tirthan over boulders, and the silence of the off-season Tirthan valley make for a deeply restorative winter walk experience.
