Ten must-do treks of Uttarakhand Himalaya

Ten must do treks in Garhwal Himalaya. For true adventure seekers, the less crowded, in fact mostly isolated Himalayan terrains of the Garhwal region make for perfect trekking destinations. In fact, the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand had the potential of being the world’s most preferred trekking destination had Nepal not opened its borders to foreigners in 1950, as Garhwal was the region where people like Lord Curzon and Frank Smythe trekked and explored 1. Gangotri Glacier The trek to the ever receding Gangotri Glacier makes for a must do trek in one’s lifetime. A moderate trek which begins at Gangotri (about 105 kms from Uttarkashi) and in the course of 18 kms takes one through a fast changing landscape and brings one across the most beautiful offerings of the Himalayas in terms of spectacular views of the Himalayan peaks like Sudarshan, Bhagirathi sisters, Shivling, etc and Himalayan fauna. 2. Dayara Buggyal Dayara Buggyal, along with its twin, Gidara Buggyal, is perhaps one of the most beautiful alpine meadows in India. The meadows stretch out far and wide and all around the meadows are the many towering snow peaks. 3. Deoria Tal- Chandrashila or Chopta-Tungnath-Chandrashila Chandrashila, located at an altitutde of around 4000 metres above sea level, is the summit of Tungnath, the highest Shiva Temple in the world at 3680 metres. 4.

Har Ki Dun The Har ki Dun trek takes one through one of the most beautiful valleys in the western Garhwal Himalaya. It makes for an easy trek and hence attracts many first-timers.
