GPX is from parking lot to parking lot. Essence of the route though is to start at the Mason-Dixon line (MD/PA border) and follow AT all the way to Pine Grove State Park. The route completes at the day use parking lot, and roughly a few hundred yards from the general store which is home of the half-gallon ice cream challenge for thru hikers. This is considered the "easier" part of PA on the AT, but takes one from the typical "north/south" separator to essentially the half-way point on the AT (it varies slightly depending on year).
Beas Kund, situated at an height of 3700 m, the source of river Beas, nestled among the highest mountains of Manali. This Loop is a 11.5 km trail which starts and ends at Dhundi.
The trail is highly technical is few sections with steep climb of 34 degree gradient, and the ever shifting boulder field posses many challenges to the trail runners, numerous river crossings, steep descends and the infamous lady leg climb which serves as the base of the Friendship Peak (5287 m).
