A fairly confusing route if you are trekking for the first time. Most trekkers follow the northern trail to Kalavantin view point but I 'll recommend exploring the eastern buruj and the southern buruj as well. Take a guide along from Prabalmachi so as not to get lost in the dense forest on top. We turned back from Ganesh temple on the way to Kala Buruj due to lack of time and the fading light. Looking forward to visiting it again!
