Gangotri-Kedarnath Trek

Gangotri is among the most beautiful of the Garhwal districts with, high above, a snowline that endures year round and below a carpet of forests, superb Himalayan views and all the joys of trekking through God's country.
This trek is along the old pilgrim route from Gangotri to Kedarnath. From Gangotri one has to come down to mala by motor. The actual trek starts from mala, after crossing the river Bhagirathi. The trek is on level upto Sauri-Ki-Gad and from here then trek to Belak is gradual. From Belak to Buda Kedar, it is downhill through dense forest full of birds and wild life. From Buda Kedar to panwali, it is an uphill trek through terraced fields and picturesque villages.The enchanting, view of the Garhwal Himalayas is very refreshing and compensates the afforts of regular ascend and descend. The 'Bugyals' (alpine meadows) on the trek are most beatiful, specially the Kush-Kalyan and the panwali Bugyasa.
Rest Houses and Dharamshalas are along the way. The trek should be well planned beforehand and services of a guide are advisable.

  1. http://sacredhimalayas.com/ - Har ki Doon Trek is located at the base of Fetch Pravat, at an altitude of 3,556 meters. Har Ki Doon , the cradle shaped valley is a paradise for trekkers, bird watchers and naturel lovers. Dense forests of pines and glittering mountain peaks surround the valley. This moderate trek takes you to one of the least explored regions of Garhwal Himalayas. The valley is scattered with wild Himalayan Flowers and the whole valley looks colorful during flowering season in monsoon.
