Details Itinerary

Day 1: Rishikesh To Lohajung

Rishikesh is the starting point for the journey. Lohajung is 252 kilometres from Rishikesh and is located in the Chamoli. The journey to the village takes roughly 11-12 hours. You’ll drive along mountain roads from Rishikesh to Lohajung, with views of the Garhwal Himalayas in the distance on a clear day. Drive across a peaceful landscape with the River Ganga as your companion. You’ll pass through three of the country’s five major holy confluences along the way: Devprayag, Rudraprayag, and Karanprayag. The magnificent Nanda Ghunti summit is visible from Lohajung. You can catch a stunning sunset on the mountain peak if we arrive before sundown, painting it in incredible hues. The naming of the village is the subject of fascinating mythology.

Day 2: Lohajung To Bekaltal

The first day of trekking will begin at Lohajung and end at the Bekaltal campground. After a substantial breakfast, we’ll set out for Bekalatal, where you’ll be met by breathtaking views of Mt. Nanda Ghunti. After 5 to 6 hours of trekking through a coniferous forest of oak and firs, the walk ends at the Bekalatal Campsite. You’ll spend the night in twin-sharing campgrounds here.

The hike to the Bekaltal campground is 7 kilometres long and has a moderate climb. The trails are well-marked here, and a short stroll down the trail will take you to Mandoli, the first mountain town. As you walk along the trail, you’ll see the Mandoli settlement on your left. The trail continues to climb steadily, twisting and bending its way through the mountains. The Kali Valley, the confluence of the Kali and Pindari Rivers, will be visible. Following Mundoli, you’ll generally go through deep forests of Oak, Fir, and Cedar, as well as a significant number of rhododendron trees. A strong woody fragrance pervades the forest. After 2 hours on the trail, you’ll reach the next monument, a 10 m long wooden bridge that spans a brook. At this water source, you can ration water. After crossing the bridge, you’ll arrive at Begum, a beautiful and peaceful resting spot. Nanda Ghunti dominates the skyline, providing breathtaking mountain views as well as spectacular views of Navali and Bagdi Bugyal. After another 20 minutes of walking, you will reach Gujreni, where you will find two streams. Some hikers prefer to camp near Gujreni, but we’ll go a bit further and camp next to Bekaltal.

Day 3: Trek From Bekaltal To Brahmatal

Today’s trip will take you to Brahmatal and will be 8 kilometres long. Following forest trails, you will reach Telindi top, where you will be treated to breathtaking views of the Himalayas, and a further trek through snow-covered meadows will lead you to the Brahmatal campground. We’ll spend the night in tents. It’s a steep climb through oak and rhododendron groves that gradually softens into a steady incline, making the hike a little easier. The trail drops progressively until it reaches the Brahmatal campground. As the Bekaltal Lake gradually recedes, the steep ascent follows the deep forest cover. The tree canopy here is so dense that it barely permits any sunlight to pass through. Even in the early spring months, traces of snow can be found in the region’s lake of sunlight. After another hour of walking, you’ll reach Telindi Top, a lookout with panoramic views of Mt. Trishul and Mt. Nanda Ghunti. The Jhandi Top, a beautiful vantage point that allows you to snap unimpeded views of the mountain ranges ahead, is another kilometre from Telindi Top. Jhandi Top is the highest point on the ridge, and it drops to Brahmatal from there. We’ll set up the tents once we arrive at the campsite location, and you can go for a picturesque walk around Brahmatal Lake. The campsite is 600 metres from Brahmatal Lake.

Day 4: Brahmata To Daldum

Prepare to cross the Brahmatal Pass, the highest point on your hike. We’ll hike to the pass and then descend to Daldum, where we’ll set up camp. Brahmatal Pass is reached after a 2.6-hour walk along a mountain ridge. During the winter months, the lake is nestled in a magnificent clearing that is covered in snow. The trail continues to ascend beyond the lake, gradually merging with the ridge. You will walk along a spectacular ridge that descends on both sides as you pass through Chota Jhandidar and Bada Jhandidar. During the winter, the ridge is covered in snow, and depending on the weather, our crew will provide microspikes and gaiters.It takes around two and a half hours to reach the summit, where you will be greeted with breathtaking mountain vistas. Chaukhamba, Neelkanth, Nanda Ghunti, Kamet, Trishul, and Hathi Ghoda Parvat are among the many mountain peaks visible. It’s as if you’re seeing the mountain ranges on a movie screen; the scene is that strange. It takes roughly 3.5 hours to walk down to Daldum from here. Slowly, the trail disappears into the valley below. A grove of oak and rhododendrons also covers this section of the trail. Before retiring to your tents at the Daldum campsite, you’ll enjoy a delicious dinner.

Day 5: Descending to Lohajung
To get to Lohajung, use the trail on the left from Daldum. It’s a short 4 mile hike that takes 3 to 4 hours. The descent to Lohajung follows a well-marked track that crosses a few streams before passing through the same oak and rhododendron forest that you passed through earlier. It’s the same path you took when you first arrived. As you travel into the forest, you’ll come across a series of shepherd’s huts where people keep their animals. When you arrive in Lohajung, clean up at the hotel before exploring the settlement in the evening. As previously stated, the sunset from Lohajung is pretty spectacular. So you can see a beautiful sunset here and also go to the local market to buy a souvenir from your trip. At the guesthouse, a hot dinner will be served. We’ll go back to Rishikesh tomorrow after a full night’s sleep.
 
Day 6: Back To Rishikesh
We will drop you off at Rishikesh today, bringing the magnificent journey to a close. We’ll leave after your farewell tea with the Secure Travels team and continue towards Rishikesh. Rishikesh is 250 kilometres from Lohajung, and the journey takes about 10 hours. By 7:00 p.m., you’ll be in Rishikesh. Depending on traffic and road conditions, the time it takes to get to Rishikesh may vary. We’ll return to Rishikesh through the same mountain roads.

Fitness For Trekking

Tips to get fit for Trekking

Experiencing trek is almost everyone’s passion or dream. But before starting or planning for a hike, you must be aware of the during and post-trek pain of your body. It is essential to be strong enough to enjoy your whole trek without any disruption of body ache. One book or decide several months before going on a hike, so you have a significant amount of time exercising your body and training it to become flexible for the trek.

Following are some advantages of training yourself before trek:

  • It fosters aerobic fitness.
  • It improves blood circulation and breathing functions as well.
  • It makes the heart strong, preventing it from any problem.
  • It helps in toning legs.
  • Muscles get build-up which is very beneficial.

Therefore, one must do practice to gain all these benefits. It is not only for the trek but for lifetime fitness also.
Let’s have a look at some factors which must be kept in mind to practice before trek:

Importance of Stretching

It helps the body become flexible and allows you to move your body in any direction you want quickly. It helps make the joints such as shoulders, elbows, hips and knees stronger to prevent any mishappening. It provides much relaxation to your body and relieves the pain. And if you are going on a trek, it is essential to practice stretching way before your hike. It will help you in moving to the higher altitudes region more efficiently.

Sleep like baby

It is always said that one must sleep like a baby. It means sleep without any worries. This makes you have an adequate amount of sleep which is a significant factor in daily life. So, practice it daily and also before your trek. Try to make yourself comfortable to sleep at higher altitudes.

Good Shoes-Good Trek

It is so evident that one has to walk and only walk while Trekking, so it is far more essential to have a good pair of trekking/hiking shoes. Practice walking by wearing your boots before the trek to make yourself used to them.
