View of Apple orchards and snow covered himalayan peaks as seen from Kuppad above Jubbal in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India Kuppad peak is in upper Shimla and is the origin of Giri River. The average altitude is more than 4000 meters. The trek to Kuppad is about 15-18 kms from Kharapathar, the trekkers will witness serene and mesmerising beauty of varied vegetation like thick Deodar woods, green pastures full of flower (in August) and a small stream . 3 to 4 kms of trek is on the side of Giri stream, a Giri Ganga temple on the way is nice place to relax but the real trek starts from there only. Above all when you reach the heights (Kuppad peak) the view of the majestic mountains, the valley of Jubbal and Chopai on either side of the peak will relax your mind and soul. Source : Facebook Thi
