Add a review
Yes anyone can do. This is a long trek and you need mental strength more than physical strength to complete this trek.
In day time its hot and sunny. The mornings and nights are colder where temperature is around 0 - 5 degrees. However this speculation is based on experience and you can never predict weather in the Himalayas.
