This is a regular village trail, often used by milkmen from Kolti Village, to access the markets at Landour/Mussoorie and Jabarkhet/Bataghat. The trail starts at Jabarkhet village and descends gently along a narrow to moderately wide path to just above Kolti Village. From here a path descends further to the village.

Bypassing the village, the trail contours and climbs slightly past an Irrigation Department pumping station, to a bridge across the spring-fed Kolti Nala stream. The stream is usually in full flow only during the monsoon (July-October). From here, the trail climbs steeply via a series of switchbacks and emerges at Landour Cemetery. This part of the trail follows the water supply pipeline, via two pumphouses.

The trail surface varies from packed mud to loose stony and scree sections. Some steeper sections have slippery pine needles. Most of the trail has a gentle gradient, but there are some steep ascents and descents.
