Starting from Phari (or Pagri), the road to the peak is extremely curvy, with 44 hairpin turns on the way to the summit, which offers great views of the Himalayas, and the imposing 7.000m high Chomo Lhari peak. The climb is 12,5km long. Over this distance, the average gradient is 7,4% hitting an 11,7% through some of the ramps.
