It is a two day walk from Sobala near Dharchula or from Bauna near Madkot. The area is rich in Musk deer and Himalayan Black bears in addition to the other diverse flora and fauna.

  2. Yes, I have visited Jimba. It is a sub alpine forest mixed with meadows and is rich in various species of plants and also animals. The river originates from the Jimba glacier and flows down finally meeting the Gori Ganga.
