Around Resort Right now Munsyari is treaded upon by few. Roseat dawns and crimson dusks can leave you simply staring at the snow laden summits for hours. There are several options for those wishing to experiment with soft adventure. A day's trek to the nearby villages like Darkot (4 Kms) and Daranti (7 Kms) can be quite an eye opener. Similarly a 2 kms trek through the forest leads to Maheshwari Kund, a picturesque nature lake. Legends abound about the lovers who shunned the world and were united in this place. There are other interesting day treks to Balati Farm at a height of 9000 feet, which offers breath taking panoramic views of the snow peaks, or to Thamri Kund, another lake hidden amongst rhododendron forests. A Jeep Safari through Madkot, Chori Bagar, Bangapani to Jouljibi and back entails a day's travel through absolutely picturesque locations along the banks of the Gori Ganga and you may end up exhausting your entire camera roll. Likewise a visit to the waterfalls at Jimi Ghat could prove to be another eye opener.
