DAY 01:: Drive 275 kms from Rishikesh to Sankri/Saur through the Yamuna and Tons valleys across the Yamuna bridge, Nainbagh, Nowgaon, Purola, Jarmola (Jarmola is one of the biggest and most beautiful pine forests in Asia), Mori and Netwar. Trek to a tiny market in Sankri, a few wooden huts serve simple yet delicious food. Dinner and overnight stay at the GMVN (Garhwal Mangal Vikas Nigam) rest house or the Forest Department’s rest house or perhaps in tents.
DAY 02:: We have to trek for 12 km nonstop today. So we offer you breakfast and make each of you carry your own packed lunches so that you can rest and catch a bite at your own convenience- perhaps at one of the tiny waterfalls lining this route. You can also appreciate the wild roses and irises, chestnuts, sycamore and deodar trees and bamboos which line the trail. Hot dinner and cozy tents will be waiting for you once you reach the camp, a Km from the Taluka village.
DAY 03:: Another 12 km to cover today so we take in packed lunch again. From Taluka the trail descends to the river valley and continues through the forests on the left side of the valley. The river valley continues winding through some fields as well as apple orchards until it reaches Osla (2560m), we however do not divert at Osla but continue till Seema. You could either opt for the steep climb of Dhaatmeer village, which is a path with beautiful views, or just trek along the Karmanasha stream. Both the routes meet at Gangaar village. Dinner and overnight stay in tent.
DAY 04:: Har ki Dun is known for its vast valleys and huge waterfalls as well as an excellent view of the mountains above and is present just beyond the confluence of two beautiful alpine meadows. A trek of roughly 11 km after fueling ourselves with breakfast and carrying packed lunch will get us to our destination. The area is home to a number of rare species of Himalayan birds and flowers, and is full of birch and spruce. After the last steep climb of approximately 200m, you have the grassy field of Har-ki-Dun divided by the clear and calm Karmanasha stream. The beautiful Swargarohini stands tall overlooking this Valley of God. Dinner and overnight stay in tent. A full moon would be an added bonus.
DAY 05:: It’s now time to head back but who says that you cannot enjoy the downhill as much as the uphill? Just before we trek down, we take a short climb of 2 km to Jaundhar glacier. Trekking back then first to Har ki Dun and then to Seema, where dinner and camps await us.
DAY 06:: The walks now are a reverse of what we experienced while climbing along the same way. For today it’s further down as from Seema we gear ourselves with packed lunch and a full breakfast to trek back to Taluka.
DAY 07:: Breakfast and trek back to Sankari, with packed lunch and you can relive your stop at the tiny waterfalls and rivulets as you walk down the same path. Walking down off course is easier so this time you get to appreciate the beauty more with the loom of tiredness. Dinner and overnight stay at Sankari await you for your last night in the hills.
DAY 08:: Drive from Sankari to Rishikesh is the last leg of this trek and we finish it well in time for you to head back to your homes.
