Overview – Sharan Forest Manshi Top Trek
Sharan Forest, located in the gorgeous Kaghan Valley, is a private and serene hideaway surrounded by towering pine trees, cool mountain air, and the gentle sounds of nature. The expedition begins at the Sharan Camping Pods, a one-of-a-kind forest retreat where tourists may unwind before embarking on their journey. The walk to Manshi Top, a magnificent meadow over 3,000 meters, is a strenuous 2-3 hour hike through dense pine forest and twisting trails.
The route to Manshi Top winds through a series of pin loops above the pine woods, gradually presenting breathtaking vistas of the surrounding area. As you climb, the dense forest opens up to expose the lofty meadows of Manshi Top, which provide a beautiful view of the Kaghan Valley below. The view from the top is breathtaking, with the Kunhar River meandering elegantly through the valley’s densely forested hills, and distant peaks framing the view.
Manshi Top is an excellent place to relax, enjoy the views, and photograph the natural beauty of the Kaghan Valley. The broad meadow offers an unimpeded perspective of the environment, making it popular among hikers and photographers. The ideal time to visit is between May and October when the paths are clear and the weather is agreeable. In winter, heavy snowfall blankets the region, making the walk virtually impossible as snow levels soar above six feet, transforming the area into a snow-covered wonderland that is both beautiful and difficult. This excursion provides a memorable experience by combining the serenity of Sharan Forest with a gratifying walk to Manshi Top. It’s ideal for individuals who want to reconnect with nature, enjoy magnificent mountain views, and escape into the woods.
