Roopkund Trek

• We’ll start the journey in the morning at 5am from Dehradun and head towards Lohajung. A scenic route with lots of greenery everywhere with traces of clouds if the weather gets pleasant. We will see the some of the famous confluences amidst the way. Through the wondersome spiral roads of the valley by evening we’ll reach our destination and have dinner and there we’ll briefly share our introductions and get to know each other better.

  Stay in Hotel/ Guest House for the night.

• Didna Village – Ali Bugyal: 10 KMS

  Ali Bugyal – Bedni Bugyal: 2 KMS

  After breakfast early in the morning, we’ll continue our journey ahead and today we’ll head towards Bedni Bugyal, a meadow with picturesque scenery. The trail is covered in Oak, Rhododendron and alpine meadows to watch for.

  Easiest day of our journey. Mainly a plain trail with a few bumps in between. The meadows will let you see the mountains in all their glory with cattle herding here and there.

  Stay in camps for the night.

• Bedni Bugyal – Ghora Lotani: 4 KMS

  Ghora Lotani – Pattar Nauchani: 1 KMS

  The elevation of this place increases considerably and hence it could be very windy. The elevation will be accompanied by cold breeze. You’re going to need to cover yourself with maximum layers of windproof winter clothing to prevent the cold breeze affect the body temperature. You may be able to enjoy a starry night at the camp stay at Pattar Nauchani.

  Stay in camps for the night.

Starting this day after sunrise, we’ll move towards Bhagwa Basa base camp for an overnight stay. We’ll head towards Kalu Vinayak Temple there. The trail is not difficult to cover hence we can relax midway to enjoy the scenic beauty of the trek. Again, there is a considerable gain in the altitude of the two places, so you will need to move slowly to get acclimatized for the environment there. If the weather conditions are good, you may see a glimpse of Mt. Trishul from Kalu Vinayak Temple.

Stay in camps for the night.

Start at 4 in the morning as this is a long day for us with a lot of height to gain. This is a trail covered in snow. Depending on any recent snowfall, it might be soft or walked on. You may need to keep your sunglasses on for protection from the reflection of sunlight from snow.

8-9 Hours of trekking to Roopkund.We’ll head towards Junar Gali which is further 500mtrs from Roopkund lake and is The Highest point of Roopkund Trek. Depending on weather conditions, we’ll stay there for some time or we shall begin our descent from there back to Pattar Nauchani for our night stay in camps.

The oak forest over Wan is just the icing on the cake that you want after the amazing trek to Roopkund. You willretrace your path to Bedni Bugyal.

Half an hour into your decent, you get to a clearing. The green trekker’s huts signals Ghairoli Patal. On a clear day, you get astounding views of Mt Trishul commandeering over the area. It is a steep ridge descent to the Neel Ganga. Quicker trekkers reach the river in one and a half hours. The slower ones take two. Take your time because you will rarely see a more wondrous stretch of forest cover.
There are many routes to the bottom of the Wan village, and all roads eventually lead down to the road junction (Kasar Bagad) near the hydel project. It takes about an hour and half to get down to Kasar bagad. It is a steep descent.

Stay in hotel at Lohajung for the night.

This is the last day of the trip and we take the route from Wan to Dehradun. It will be around 10 – 11 hours journey.
