Munsiyari is regarded as one of the best hill stations for off beat travel in Uttarakhand. Near this beautiful town is a viewing point called Khaliya Top, that offers even better views of the famous Panchachuli peak.
The hike to Khaliya Top starts from the Eco Park, near Munsiyari.
This short 3 hour hike takes you through the colorful forest of Eco Park.
Right before the top, there's a govt. guest house where you can stay in tents and rooms.
It is advised to book your rooms/tents while taking the permit for the hike from the forest ranger's office.
The best thing about this hike is the breathtaking view of Mt. Panchachuli.
