We will make a round trek for about 4 hours around Abuji mountains. Most of the trails will be along the trails set by the nomads who graze their cattle up in the mountains during the summer. The region is dense forested and because of the relative lack of roads there, the forests were comparatively well protected from modern government sanctioned harvesting since the 1960's. There is rich variety of pine, spruce, fir growth as well as a year round blossoms of various flowers including Rhododendrons, azaleas, blue poppies, gentians, irises, edelweiss and the hills are also home to a rich variety of birds and animals including brown bear. The Abuji jagged peaks are considered sacred by locals and below it is also a glacial lake that is considered one of the most holiest and powerful by the local Tibetans. In times of drought, monks from Sumtsenling trek to the region for rain calling rituals. Tibetans call it Tsonak (or Black lake) which partly explains the mystical power of these high mountain lakes.
