Day 2 Sankri- Taluka (12 KMs by Road), Taluka- Seema (12 KMs trek)
  • Early morning drive from Sankri to Taluka in a Taxi. Taluka is the starting point of our trek. After breakfast in Taluka, we will start trekking with packed lunch to Seema (2260m) on an even surface through thick forests of chestnuts, walnuts, willows, chinars and a variety of conifer trees. You will come across a few waterfalls on your way. You could either opt for the steep climb of Dhaatmeer village or just trek along the Karmanasha stream. Both the routes meet at Gangaar village. Reach Seema Camps by late afternoon. Overnight stay in tents.
Day 3 Seema- Kalkattiyadhaar (7 kms trek)

The trail from Seema initially is on the left side of the valley and goes past fields. This is followed by crossing an aging bridge over river Rupin, after which we start trekking to the right side of the valley. The trail now ascends through fields and pastures with huts. The coniferous trees on the other side of the valley are beautiful. Then the trail includes a climb to the ridge locally named as Kalkattiyadhar. After a short descent from the Kalkattiyadhar, we arrive at our campsite. Overnight stay in tents.

Day 4 Kalkattiyadhaar to Boslo (14 KMs trek) via Har Ki Dun

As we move ahead from Kalkattiyadhaar camp, the trail gives an impressive view of Har Ki Dun valley. Initially, there’s a gradual climb which later gets steeper as it passes through beautiful meadows which opens into Har Ki Dun. A small stream flows by the campsite, with peaks of Har Ki Dun and Swargarohini towering above. After spending some time at Har Ki Dun, we will return to Boslo campsite.

Day 5 Boslo to Untigaad (10 KMs trek)

Your trail will start from and you have to go for a descend immediately when you leave the campsite. The path ahead needs to be walked through very carefully as you will happen to see the conjunction of two roaring glacial rivers one is Har Ki Dun and the other is Kyarakoti. They both join to become Tamsa river. 3 km past the river crossing you will come across two gigantic rocks laying one above the other making a natural shelter below. You may get some survival lessons/tips from your trek leader at this location. You will get your first water source after walking 4 KMs. After completing 9 kms you will reach Untigaad. This is a lovely campsite surrounded by water streams all around and snow laden peaks. Take rest for the day.

Day 6 Untigaad to Devsu Bugyal via Ruinsara Lake (12 KMs)
  • It is an exciting day as you will see the splendid Ruinsara Lake. The lake is around 1.5 KMs from Untigaad. It will hardly take an hour to reach this lake. The trail is completely filled with silver birch or Bhoj Patra trees and is mostly rocky. The most beautiful time to visit the Ruinsara lake is post monsoon, during this time, the lake is surrounded with greenery. What stands out for the lake is its surroundings. The lake is surrounded with the trail ahead goes to the famous Bali Pass trek, the trail will lead you to the Kyarakoti Glacier which is the base camp of the challenging Back Peak aka Kalanag. You can also see the hanging glaciers of Swargarohini from this lake. After trekking for about 8 Kms from Untigaad you reach the confluence point of Kyarakoti and Har Ki Dun rivers. From here, you will take the trail towards Devsu Bugyal, which is a steep trail. Upon reaching Devsu Campsite, you will be in awe of the beautiful alpine bushes full of all kinds of flowers and greenery.
Day 7 Devsu Bugyal to Taluka (15 KMs trek), Taluka to Sankri (12 KMs by road)

A 7-hour trek to Taluka sets off this morning, climbing down by the familiar trail, stopping at familiar rest points. The car waits at the end of the dirt road to drive back base campward. Pay special attention to descending tactic. Though climbing down accounts for lesser exhaustion, stressing out your soles with big steps is inadvisable. Sankri will arrive at the time for tea. You will arrive in Sankri by evening and check into the hotel “The Conifer Inn” for an overnight stay. Once we reach Sankri, we will celebrate the completion of our trek with DJ/Karaoke Night party at the Multicuisine Restaurant “The Food Garage”.
