The trail is well suited for experienced trekkers for its steep gradients, however, the varied landscapes do compensate for the hardship. Kyarkoti trek offers stunning views of Mount Shrikant and many other unnamed beautiful peaks. Trekkers walk along the alpine forest consists of Cedar, Pine and Birch trees and cross numerous little streams during the trek.
