The second route to Kheerganga takes longer descents and is easier to climb. This route, which is less well-traveled, is surrounded by dense forests. It doesn’t offer as many picturesque views as the 7-kilometre trek to Kheerganga. People with lower stamina prefer this route.

You can also stop at the villages of Kalga or Pulga to take a picture. These villages are great for making friends with locals and taking a walk. If you maintain a steady pace, this route can be completed within 4 hours. If you prefer a slower pace, it can be completed in between 5 and 6 hours.
