The trail to Chere Chaur is full of scenic beauty and through the forest, and meadows. We go from Jumla and travel up the Jugad Khola to Chere Chaur. We pass by Khalanga Bazaar along the road, a little market for the local communities. Before arriving at our destination, we also drive through a few villages and a temple. You can see herder’s hut in Chere Chaur.
