Really gorgeous and worth to visit for sure!
Olivia
The trip was very nice and rainbow mountain is super beautiful!
Vinincunka trek
For anyone planning this trek, I would really recommend at least an overnight trek to the Rainbow Mountain. Taking an extra day allows you to break up the driving, leave later, and have the mountain all to yourself, before trekkers making a day trip arrive. The stars are also incredible…

Unforgettable experience. I thought the Rainbow mountain was the main sight. But the surrounding was as beautiful as Rainbow Mountain. Totally worth to do it!
