Although this beautiful mountain peak can be viewed afar, but to reach on its top gives us the most thrilling experience of our life. This fascinating cliff got popularity after the unfortunate incident of Fokker-27 plane crash due to some technical difficulties on February 7, 1966 which killed all 37 on-board including some prominent personalities of the Valley.
