In 21 kilo, there is a road that goes down, that’s called thindu road. You will reach Tindu Bazar in 2 hours walking along the road. If you have good luck, you can meet the clouds on this road, and the road itself only goes down, so it won’t be difficult to walk on it. After taking some rest at Tindu Bazaar, started walking again towards a place called Baghermukh, which might take about an hour. From there langlok waterfall is 45-50 minute walk away.

Best time to visit
