⚠️ Important Note: Unlike the heavily commercialized and crowded trail to Kheerganga, the forest stretch between Kalga and Bun Buni Thatch is completely unmarked, dense and remote with zero mobile network. Taking a certified local guide is mandatory—not only to avoid getting hopelessly lost on shepherd tracks, but also because this isolated ridge passes through active Himalayan Black Bear territory.
