GANGOTRI, KEDARNATH TREK *

This trek is along the old pilgrim route from Gangotri to kedarnath. From Gangotri one has to come down to Mala by motor. The actual trek starts from Mala, after crossing the river Bhagirathi. The trek is on level upto Sauri-Ki-gad and from this point the climb to Belak is gradual. From Belak to Budha Kedar to Panwali, it is an uphill climb through terraced fields and picturesque villages. The enchanting view of the Garhwal Himalaya is very refreshing and compensates the efforts of regular ascend and descend. The Bugyals’ (alpine meadows) on this trek are most beautiful, specially the Kush-kaly and the Panwali bugyals.

Accommodation : Rest houses and dharamshalas are alone the way. The trek should be well planned beforehand and services of a guide are advisable.
