About this trek
What the day is actually like
Aadrai is the trek for people who liked Andharban and wanted more forest. The route follows a river through thick jungle near Khireshwar, crossing the water repeatedly, and the tree cover stays closed for long stretches. It is not a summit trek and there is no big view at the end — the walk itself is the point, and it is one of the greenest days you can have in the range.
