As you make your way up towards Panixerpass, you will encounter a memorial site commemorating the history of the area. The trail continues past several waterfalls, offering a refreshing and picturesque backdrop to your hike. About midway through the route, you will come across a natural spring where you can take a break and enjoy a sip of fresh mountain water.
Panixerpass itself is a saddle with breathtaking views of the surrounding wilderness. From here, you can see the Pass dil Veptga, another notable landmark along the trail.
