The Jimu Caves along the Tilicho Trail offer dramatic limestone darkness, torchlit cave textures, and rewarding alpine views en route. Best light: late afternoon for rim-light outside and early morning for crisp, cloud-draped ridgelines. Reach by trekking from Khangsar—go in dry post-monsoon months (roughly Oct–Nov, Mar–Apr). Carry a headlamp; no formal permits known locally.
