DETAILed ITINERARY
Day 1: From Dehradun towards Guttu
In the morning, report to the Dehradun ISBT and board your vehicles for the drive to Guttu village. In the evening, you can arrive in Guttu. Guttu is where I’ll be spending the night.
Day 2: From Guttu towards Reeh
Ghuttu is the starting point for the trek. You begin by walking on a dirt path. If the sun is shining, it will get extremely hot. Attempt to complete this section in the early hours of the morning. After that, you take a stroll through the woods to Reeh. The trail runs more parallel to the river at first, then climbs through the pine trees. Rhododendron and bamboo trees can be found along the way. Pitch camps can be found in Reeh. Spend the night in a camp.
Day 3: From Reeh towards Gangi
After breakfast, depart from Reeh with the aim of reaching Gangi today. Gangi is a small village with a rich cultural history. The trek today is mostly a gentle climb with a steep section near the end.
Day 4: From Gangi towards Kharsoli
There is a section where landslides are popular at first. Crossing this segment should be done with caution. From here, it’s just a fast climb to Kalyani. Kalyani is a plane that flies. Arrive in Kharsoli by late afternoon. Kharsoli is marked by a Nallah that joins the Bhilanganga river. In Kharsoli, there is a camp.
Day 5: From Kharsoli towards Chowki
We will depart from Kharsoli today and arrive at Chowki Campsite. It’s a beautiful green meadow with a snow-capped crest in the background. The camps are now located along the Doodh Ganga River, with the Khatling glacier visible in the background.
Day 6: Acclimatization and Rest Day
We’ve only climbed to 4000 meters. Today is an acclimatization day since the altitude increase for the next few days will be important. We will visit the Khatling glacier during the day and then return to base.
Day 7: From Chowki towards Masar Tal
We’ll start by climbing a steep section with views of Thalay Sagar before crossing a ridge above the valley. As we enter the lovely Masar Tal, the path is clearly marked. We’ll pitch our tents by the scenic lake until we arrive at the campsite.
Day 8: From Masar Tal towards Vasuki Tal via Mayali Pass
The trail to Masar top starts with a vertical climb over boulders on a steep slope. The road then gradually descends before ascending the glacier to the peak of Mayali Pass. The descent from Mayali Pass is steep, close to Auden’s Col on the Khatling side, and may necessitate the use of a fixed rope and rappelling. Continue descending until you reach Vasuki Tal.
Day 9: From Vasuki Tal towards Kedarnath
Today, we will begin our journey to Kedarnath, a well-known pilgrimage site. Vasuki Tal is 7 km from Kedarnath, and it takes 3-4 hours to get there.
