Further west, it extends upto Chaurangi- Khal. Trekking along this range is an enjoyable experience. During winter all these provide vast expanse of ski-slopes. 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 here the trek to Belak is gradual. From Belak to Buda Kedar, it is downhill through dense forests full of birds and wild life.l From Buda Kedar to Panwali, it is an uphill trek through terraced fields and picturesque villages. The enchanting , view of the Garhwal Himalayas is very refreshing and compensates the efforts of regular ascend and descend. The 'Bugyals' (alpine meadows ) on the trek are most beautiful, specially the Kush-Kalyan and the Panwali Bugyals. Accommodation Rest Houses and Dharamshalas are along the way. The trek should be well planned beforehand and services of a guide are advisable. Har-ki-doon Trek
