The GHT Far West Section trek brings you to the border with India. The trail goes through a landscape of contrast: barren and desolate hills with bright green fields of wheat or other crops in the valleys alongside the rivers. The arid, barren landscape, the heath, the cactuses, and the shepherds with their goats or cows, give you the feeling you are not only walking in the Far West, but also in the Wild West. The Far West has many fertile valleys, and you pass many villages. Most people living here are Hindu Chhetri. Especially in the small villages tourists, be it foreign or Nepali, are a real attraction!
