ABOUT
SAHASTRA TAL TREK
Sahastra taal is a pristine lake with a set of different sized lakes and a little-explored area at an altitude of 4700m. It is said that a king performed a rite at the lake by sacrificing one thousand (sahstra) Brahma kamals to Lord Vishnu, thus the name Sahastra Taal. Apart from the local shepherds, this is an eccentric hike where few other trekkers will be visible.

DETAILed ITINERARY
Day 1 Arrival at Gangi Village
The trekkers arrive at Ghuttu Village through the beautiful Bhilangana valley. Various
scenic spots like Tehri lake, Dobra Chanti, and Tehri dam pass on the way from Dehradun. After a journey of 8-9 hours, you will arrive at Ghuttu village. You will meet the Discovery Hike
team at Ghuttu and further the journey will take you to the last Himalayan village – Gangi.
Overnight stay at guest house.
Day 2 Gangi to Kalyani
The second day of our trek begins with a slightly uphill trail going inside the forest with beautiful streams and mountains in the background. Today we climb around 3kms to the campsite and then spend our day exploring the blissful natural surroundings.
Day 3 Kalyani to Tadi Odyar campsite
The third day begins with early movement as today the trail length is almost 12kms and
takes a good 4-5 hours of trekking to reach. There are plenty of spots to fill water bottles and the tree lines will start to get scanty as we move above and higher. With an elevation gain of around 700 meters, we reach our campsite tadi odyar. Overnight stay at the camp.
Day 4 Tadi Odyar to Sahastra taal
From Tadi odyar , we pack up the camps after a healthy breakfast. The trekkers start
today’s journey with the excitement of reaching Sahastra Tal. We get to see small lakes even before reaching the main lake, and that itself grows the adrenaline as the backdrop becomes surreal with astounding Himalayan peaks. We reach the campsite near Sahastra Tal and have a full day left to explore the beauty of our surroundings
Day 5 Sahastra Tal to Odyar campsite
Going back from such a heavenly place is always disheartening but the memories playing in our heads bring new energy as we move back down towards our camp.
A steep decline of 5-6 hours takes us back to our campsite at Tadi odyar. Overnight
camp and halt.
Day 6 Tadi odyar to Gangi and back to ghuttu
The final day arrives and we get back to village gangi in an hour and start the journey back to Ghuttu via taxi. From Ghuttu the trekkers leave to Dehradun via shared cab or taxi. The travel cost from Ghuttu to Dehradun is not included in the trek fees and is to be paid directly to the driver
