ABOUT
SWARGAROHINI TREK EXPEDITION
Swargarohini Trek is a four-peak mountain range in Uttarakhand’s Garhwal Himalayas. It’s called “Way to Heaven.” Chamoli district in Uttarakhand has an elevation of -17,987 ft. Pandavas, according to legend, took this path on their way to heaven. Just Yudhishthira (one of the Pandavas) and a puppy made it to the afterlife. Many of the other Pandavas perished en route. According to mythology, Swargarohini is the only way to reach Heaven while still in human form. The holiest lake of Satopanth is located within the Chaukhamba massifs. Since Lord Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh are said to have bathed in the waters of this lake, it is revered as sacred and sweet.

DETAILed ITINERARY
Day 1: From Haridwar to Joshimath
The journey from Delhi to Joshimath takes 10/11 hours and passes through the holy rivers of the Alaknanda, Mandakini, and Ganga. At the confluence of the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers, Devprayag is on the way. This is a lovely place.
The trip will not become monotonous and the landscape will change dramatically as you progress.
Arrive at Joshimath base camp, rest in a hotel, and spend the evening exploring the surrounding areas. Return to the hotel, have dinner, and rest comfortably.
Day 2: From Joshimath to Badrinath
After breakfast, drive to Badrinath, check into the hotel, and spend the day exploring Badrinath. In the evening, participate in the arti darshan. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.
Day 3: Badrinath to Laxmivan
After breakfast, drive to the last village, Mana, where the trek begins. After a short hike, you can see Vasudhara Falls, which is located on the opposite side of the Alaknanda River. Gradually ascend to the Somtoli meadows and cross a landslide-prone field, where shepherd huts can now be seen.
To get to the campsite, pass through the boulder field, which is densely forested with Bhojpatra trees. The view of the Alkapuri glacier on the opposite side adds to the beauty of the surroundings. Set the camps and relax for the night.
Day 4: From Laxmivan to Chakratirth
Today’s trek is difficult; head from Laxmi Van to Chakrateerth. The climb to “Sahastradhara,” which means “Thousand Waterfalls,” is a sheer ascent over scree and boulders. After climbing up the valley, you’ll be rewarded with views of the Chaukhamba hills, Balakun, and Neelkanth.
Cross a shallow stream ahead and continue walking on the levelled field. Now begin the steep climb to Chakrateerth campsite, which will be reached after a short trek. Set the camps and relax for the night.
Day 5: Chakratirth towards Satopanth Tal Trek
Start your hike early today because you’ll be passing through some difficult terrain. Ascend to the highest point on the mountain and hike down the glacier to the tranquil triangular “Satopanth Lake.” Views of the Chaukhamba peaks and Neelkanth Mahadev are spectacular.
The surroundings are lovely; spend some time exploring and relaxing there. Set the camps and relax for the night.
Day 6 : Satopanth Tal to Chandrakund trekking
Early in the morning, see the Chaukhamba peaks turn golden as the sun rises. After breakfast, begin the trek to Chandrakund, where you will see some stone rooms where saints live permanently.
The trail narrows as it approaches the crevassed Satopanth glacier on one side and rocky terrain on the other. When crossing this area, be extremely cautious because a single mistake can be extremely dangerous.
Reach Chandartal, a small lake where the water level rises and falls with the seasons. Lord Chandrama is said to have meditated here, and this Lake remains full of water on Purnima (full moon night).
Day 7 : Chandrakund to Suryakund trek
Early in the morning, drive to Suryakund and walk along the mountain’s side, passing through the moraine and boulder region. The entire Chaukhamba peaks and Kuber Parvat are visible from here. Set the camps and relax for the night.
Day 8: Rest and Acclimatization Day
Today, go on some short walks, explore the city, and relax. Here’s where you can spend the night.
Day 9 : Suryakund to Swargarohini base camp Trekking
Suryakund to Swargarohini Glacier is a steep ascent with crevasses along the way. Although the trek through the boulder and moraine region is difficult, the excellent and near views of high peaks are well worth it.
Reach the Swargarohini Glacier; the Swargarohini peaks “Char Singh” and “Way to Heaven” are seen above. There are three steps from here; there are assumed to be a total of seven, but due to the fog, none of them are apparent.
Set the camps and relax for the night.

After breakfast, return to this magical Lake along the same way. Overnight stay camp at Satopanth Tal.
