Detailed Itinerary
As we arrive at Dehradun railway station, we are driven to Sankri, which is 220
kms from Dehradun in Uttarkashi district. Although it takes us about 10-11
DAY 1 hours to reach Sankri, our route is extremely beautiful. Situated at an
elevation of 1,950 m, it oers tourists and locals a surreal view of the
mountains and calls out to outdoors and nature enthusiasts!

We wake up to a gorgeous, chilly morning made better only by a piping hot

cuppa and a steaming bucket of water! Our layover at Sankri is important in
helping us acclimatise to the rarer high altitude environment. After a
sumptuous breakfast, we begin our day with a drive to Taluka, which is 12
kms from Sankri. Once here, we embark on what will be a fascinating journey
through Uttarakhand's alpine forests. Our route takes us to Osla, which is 14
DAY 2 kms away. On our trail, we cross the Siyan Gad by bridge to reach Dhatmir
village. We then head towards the right side of the Tons River where we catch
some spectacular sights. From here, you can see the landscape bedecked with
sprawling wild orchids and encounter some Himalayan wildlife that includes
barking deer and boars among others. Since we reach Osla by late noon, we
have time to explore the area and then spend the night camping under a sky
lled with seemingly countless stars.

From Osla, we prepare ourselves for the climb to Har Ki Doon! This 14-km
scenic trail takes us about 5-6 hours to complete. Located at the base of Fateh
Parvat, Har Ki Doon, is elevated at 3,558 m. Also known as the 'Valley of
DAY 3
Gods', the vistas that can be seen from here are studded by great snow-clad
Himalayan peaks. Enjoy a few moments taking in the tranquil sounds of the
birds murmuring in the quiet breeze.

Get ready as we trek to Jaundhar Glaciers! The Jaundhar Glaciers are divided
into north and south glaciers. Our trek here serves as a striking contrast to the
lush green valleys at Har Ki Doon. We traverse through moraine and scree,
DAY 4
which makes it an enthralling trekking expedition in Uttarkashi. With the
Swargarohini Peak overlooking the glacier, the view is truly amazing! Don't
forget to take some pictures here!

behind the mountains, the pleasant breeze and the sound of the birds chirping

Travel Tips
Type of Accommodation

We will be staying in tents equipped with all the camping facilities.

Type of Food

Quality hygienic food prepared by our experienced cooks will be served during the trek. Choice of Veg/non veg, Indian,
continental and Chinese food will be available during the trek.

Clothes to carry

While walking the body heats up and all we need to wear a T-shirt & cargos/ trousers. However all our warm clothes will
come into play in the mornings / evenings when we aren't doing much physically. A good base layer which could be a
thermal top (polypropylene), with a T-shirt on top will keep you warm and dry. Mid layers provide insulation so anything
that is warm will do e.g. a medium thickness woolen jumper or a mid-weight eece top, along with another lightweight
eece top will suce. If you really feel the cold, substitute the thinner layer with a down jacket. The outer layer is the
nal layer between you and the elements and must be capable of keeping out the wind, rain and snow. Any good
waterproof, windproof jacket would do the job. Leg wear in the form of thermal long johns are invaluable. A good sun
hat is very essential. Sunglasses which oer 100% UV protection are necessary to combat strong daylight.

Travel Tips
Medication & First Aid

First aid kit is provided with each group which consist of basic medicine dealing with mountain sickness.

Altitude considerations

Travel to any part of the Indian Himalayas deserves a little more respect than many other mountain ranges because
most of the regions lie in high altitudes 2500 meters (8000 ft). This is not something that you should worry about. The
human body is quite capable of adapting to a very wide range of barometric pressures and there is plenty of oxygen
even at the highest point of our trips. However, this process of adaptation or acclimatisation does take time and the
most important rule is to gain height slowly. This trip itinerary gives the best possible acclimatisation programme within
the limitations of a 2 and a half week holiday. Our trek leaders are widely experienced in these matters and will be able
to give you good advice to help minimise any temporary discomfort that you might experience. If you have suered
serious problems at altitude before, you should seek the advice of your doctor or a specialist. We are always ready to
give advice on this subject. We do not take heart or lung patients, or pregnant mothers on such trips.

Luggage Info

You can carry luggage up to a maximum of 15 kgs. There will also be by backup vehicles/ porters or ponies depending
on the nature of trek.
