Adsul offbeat Trek

Adsul is a watch tower opposite Asherigad.

 The trek to the top of Adsul is challenging, and it is recommended for experienced trekkers. To reach the top we need to climb the steep rock section and scree patches with steep slopes.

We start the trek early in the morning which takes 2 to 3 hours to reach the top. Everyone will be equipped with harnesses, cross the traverses and climb the exposed patch which will lead to the top ridge of the pinnacle.
