The entire sanctuary was held as sacred to the Gurung people, one of the many native people to inhabit the area. They believed it was the repository of gold and various treasures left by the Nāgas, the serpent-gods known in India.
Treks typically take around 10-14 days and involve hiking through diverse landscapes, staying in basic teahouses.
