Tour Plan
We'll drive from Mussoorie to Sankri. Stop for lunch along the way. This is a fun drive that starts along the Yamuna River and ends along the beautiful Tons River. Today's drive has some especially lovely pine forest parts. When we arrive in Sankri, we will check into a scenic hotel/tent and rest for a while. Take a stroll in this lovely hamlet in the evening to re-energize your muscles for the next day's trek. Sankri is the place where you'll spend the night.
We begin the day with a quick, scenic, and adventurous drive to Taluka, our trek's starting point. Today's hike takes you through lovely mixed forest and along the Supin River. The gradient is mild throughout, with an occasional steep patch thrown in for good measure. This area is blessed with a very old and distinct culture that has luckily been preserved. Today, you'll get a really close and personal look at it.
On the trail, you'll meet locals from nearby villages and see some of the area's unique architectural beauty. We'll pass through a few villages on our way to Seema, a small market town. We'll camp ahead of Seema in the lovely fields along the river & stay overnight here in the tents.
The trail follows the Supin river today as well. The first checkpoint is Debshu Bugyal, from which we can see Kala Nag, or Black Top, in all its glory. We'll descend through the forest with loose stones and a sandy path to the river after crossing Debshu Bugyal. We'll use a bridge to cross the Supin River.
This is our last day of walking along the Supin River. By the afternoon, we'll be in Ruinsara Tal. Ruinsara is a beautiful lake surrounded by rhododendron bushes and meadows. Although the trail is not challenging, it is exhausting. The campsite at Thange is lovely, and we'll stay in tents.
At Thange Camp, a day of rest, acclimatization, and exploration is a must. The clear water, fringed by reeds, and the warm sun look positively mesmerizing. Explore this breathtakingly beautiful location, which offers up-close views of the magnificent Bandarpoonch, Swargarohini, Dhumdhar Kandi, and the White Top. Today we'll go exploring in Kyarkoti, where we'll see the most beautiful meadows. We'll spend the night in tents at Thange Camp.
We finally start our trek to Bali Pass Summit. The trek's final stage involves a rough trail with boulder pieces. The gradient will be steep starting from Bali Udiyari and ending at Bali Pass. After a couple of hours of hiking, we arrive at the Bali Pass. Witness 360-degree views of the Swargarohini, Banderpooch, and Garhwal ranges, as well as the underlying Yamnotri valley, from this vantage point.
After crossing the Bali Pass, the most exciting and challenging part of the trek begins. We'll make our way down the nearly vertical road, which is riddled with scree and large stones. Following this leg, we will encounter the goat road, which will be a much more difficult trek. We will arrive at the camp after this incredibly difficult section. After this extremely challenging part of the trek, we will reach our campsite at Damni & stay in tents overnight.
We'll begin hiking from Damini today in order to reach the Jankichatt road-head. We pause along the way to pay our respects to the divine Yamunotri shrine. After around 4-5 hours of hiking, you'll arrive in Jankichatti. We'll board a vehicle and be taken to Dehradun from here. The journey comes to an end, and you will leave for your next destination.
