    ABOUT

    BARAADSAR LAKE TREK

    The Baraadsar Lake is a holy lake in the Western Garhwal Himalayas that lies on the border of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, tucked between the Rupin and Supin valleys. The trail to Baradsaar Lake winds through scenic meadows, brown oak and pine trees, large clearings with spectacular mountain views, and finally over a ridge that divides the Rupin and Supin valleys, providing excellent panoramic views. This bowl-shaped high-altitude Baraadsar Lake is tucked away within a huge cauldron, with high ridges converging from all sides, making it one of the least explored treks in the area. It’s a one-of-a-kind trek because the ultimate thrill is a satisfying summit drive to hit the pool. This trek is designed for hikers who have prior hiking experience. Due to a series of ascents, this moderate-level trek demands a decent level of fitness. Trek this off-the-beaten-path trail to see unimaginable vistas and breathtaking scenery.

    DETAILed ITINERARY

     Day 1: Pick up to you from Dehradun railway station drive to Khanyasni camp 

    Arrival in the city of Sankri. If you want our transportation, we will meet at ISBT Dehradun at 7 a.m. and drive to Sankri. The Baraadsar Lake trek begins in this small quaint village. In Sankri, spend the night in a guesthouse or hotel.

     Day 2: Trek from Khanyasni camp to Sarutal camp (05 km) (3/4 Hours) 

    Today’s trek takes you through some high-altitude villages; first, you must reach Himri, which requires crossing a ridge; the climb is steep, and your trek begins by passing through a pine forest; the climb is steep; take breaks and continue ascending. Since the trail is confusing, stay alert and follow your trek leader. There are no water streams along the way, so bring plenty of water. Bitri village is reached after 4 hours of ascent. This village is lovely, with wooden houses and welcoming villagers who welcome you with a smile. Bitri also has a school and a temple, the latter of which is constructed in the Kinnauri style and is the main attraction for tourists. Spend some time here exploring the village. After lunch, begin your journey towards Sarutal. Today’s campsite is Sarutal, a lake in the middle of a meadow. This location is relaxing, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Relax here, eat your dinner, and spend the night in tents.

     Day 3: Trek from Sarutal camp to Badang camp (08 km) (5/6 Hours) 

    Badang is a beautiful meadow, and this is an ideal campsite with fascinating beauty. The hike today will be mild, with only ascents. After experiencing spectacular morning views from Sarutal, have breakfast and depart for Badang. The climb is steep at first, and the path is rocky, after 1 hour of climbing, you will come across a creek, which you must cross, the trail then levels out, and the ascent begins. Langoor families and Himalayan birds can be seen here, and the area is rich in flora and fauna. Arrive at Badang, a beautiful meadow surrounded by a Deodar tree & a flowing stream which is the source of the water.

     Day 4: Trek from Badang camp to Dhaldhar camp (13 km) (6/7 Hours) 

    Breakfast in Badang before departing for Daldhar camp. As you progress, the peaks appear in front of you, and the scenery is breathtaking, you have a 180-degree view from here. Reach your campsite at Dhaldhar & relax here for today.

     Day 5: Trek from Dhaldhar camp to Devbasa camp (5 km) (3/4 hours) 

    Start trekking after you’ve eaten your breakfast. It will take two hours to get to our campsite Devbasa from Dhal Dhar. This area is plain and rocky, and it is the point where two mountains meet. You can see the Rocky Mountains all around you, and this campsite is windy due to its high elevation and rocky terrain. The trail of Baraadsar can be seen from the Devbasa Gangotri range.

     Day 6: Trek from Devbasa camp to Baraadsar lake (14 km) (7/8 hours)

    Today’s trek is the longest on a rugged path, stretching from Dev Basa to the Baraadsar meadow; you can choose between two routes. The short one is steep and requires crossing a pass to get to your campsite; the long one requires taking a round of the mountain, and the campsite is 3 hours away from that point. Choose wisely based on your abilities.

    The Baraadsar Lake is 8 hours away, but the trail is challenging and involves crossing some glaciated areas. You’ll come across snow patches along the way, and the trail is rocky, so be careful not to fall or twist your ankle due to the stones. Return to your Dev basa campsite & have your dinner and stay overnight in tents.!!

     Day 7: Trek from Devbasa camp via lower sural to Kasla (15 km) (6/7 hours)
