The adventure begins when you leave Dehradun by car. On your way to Sankri, you will cross popular tourist destinations like Mussoorie, Kempty Waterfalls, and Nainbagh.

Enjoy your time in Sankri as you witness the magical play of colours during the sunset. Finally, conclude your day with an overnight stay in Sankri.

Wake up early in the morning and drive to Taluka, passing through dense bamboo and deodar forests. The road crosses some beautiful streams, setting the tone for the upcoming adventure.

Once you reach Taluka, your trek towards Seema begins. It’s a 12 km trek passing through some of the most scenic places. The path to Seema requires you to cross rugged terrain, traditional wooden bridges, and lush trails. You will pass through Osla, a place known for its picturesque wooden houses. If you are lucky, you might also spot Himalayan Monal birds if you keep an eye out in the forest. Finally, conclude the day with an overnight stay in the tents.

After a hearty breakfast, begin your trek to climb further. The route towards Debshu Bugyal passes by the Supin River and gets steeper gradually. The trail is full of big boulders, so be careful while you trek. Take a break at Bugyal, a huge 2 km-long pastureland.

Spend a relaxing night in tents at Rainbasera / Roiltigad or Roiltia.

Wake up early for an exciting trek towards the Ruinsara Tal. Ruinsara Lake is an alpine tarn surrounded by lush Rhododendron trees with majestic pink blooms in the summers.

Ruinsara Lake is one of the trio of lakes in the Garhwal region and is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque locations. Take a moment to seep in the beauty of the place surrounded by peaks like Kala Nag, Bandarpunch, and Dhundhar Khai. Spend the rest of the day camping by the lake.

After a wholesome breakfast, start your trek towards Odari. The trail descends towards the beautiful Supin River and passes through lush forests. 

Odari is a natural rock cave believed to have been the home of Bali, Lord Krishna’s brother. What makes it special is that from the cave, you can also see the majestic Swargarohini. Reach the cave by noon and dig in for some heart lunch. Spend the rest of the day learning various trekking techniques that you will need to use the following day. Finally, call it a day with an overnight stay in Odari.

After breakfast, leave Odari for Bali Col camp. The trek from Odari to Bali Col Camp is around 5 km. But this trek is challenging because it is situated at an altitude of 15,100 ft. Although it is a short trip, the climb is steep up to the Pass, paired with a lot of glacial debris and loose rocks. The trek gets complicated as the stones are scattered along the trail. Listen to your tour guide, follow his instructions, and use his techniques learned the previous day. Take necessary precautions to avoid complications due to altitude. Night-time temperatures sometimes also drop below zero degrees, so make sure you have the right clothing and equipment. Conclude the day with an overnight stay in a tent in Bali Col camp.

This is considered as the summit day. Have a good breakfast and get ready for this long day. Cross the Bali Pass to reach Lower Dhamni. The path to Bali Pass is pretty steep and covered in snow. It takes somewhere around 2 to 3 hours to reach Lower Dhamni. It is quite a steep climb, so make sure you are prepared for it.

Upon reaching the summit, soak in the 360-degree view of the Swargarohini and Bandarpunch peaks. You can also see the beautiful Yamunotri valley to the right. As the path of this trek can get really confusing, it is highly recommended that you be with your trek leader and follow all instructions carefully. Upon reaching Lower Dhamni, rest in your tents. After the exhausting trek, call it a day with an overnight stay in Lower Dhamni.

This is the last day of your trekking experience. This is the easiest of all, as there will be mainly descending on the way. It is a cement-paved pathway to reach Janki Chatti. This is the starting point of the famous Yamunotri Trek, which is known for its hot water springs. Once you reach Janki Chatti, spend some time resting in your campsite. Finally, leave for Dehradun with a bag full of memories.
