Forest silence in the Breng valley
Daksum is where the Breng valley narrows into conifer forest and the Bringhi river runs cold and loud — a hush-quiet retreat at 2,438 m on the old road to Sinthan Top. There is little to 'do' and that is the point: walk to grazing meadows, fish the river, and let the forest do the talking.
Plan my Daksum tripTrails climb through spruce to shepherd meadows above the valley.
A storied beat for anglers seeking solitude.
The 3,748 m pass is a spectacular hour's drive further on.
Honey and walnuts from Breng valley villages.
April–October; combine with Sinthan Top May–September while the pass is open.
