Drive from Rishikesh to Lohajung​
Your trek will start today, after a nutrition-rich breakfast and a brief explanation by our trek leader you will begin your trek towards a jeep road which connects to the village of Wan. After that, your next location is Kulling which is a tiny village surrounded by large mountains and stunning views with a handful of population. The village of Kulling is home to exotic birds and pure air. You can take a small break to observe the above-mentioned things and then resume your walk, on your way you will see a small stream which is connected to the larger stream Neel Ganga, on descending further you will encounter the mainstream. Further on your trek, you’ll cross a bridge and will trek further where the final destination for the day is waiting for you. Didna Village is surrounded by alpine forests and huge open fields. After reaching your destination you’ll be served lunch and you can finally take a rest for the day.
Today you will be reaching Ali Bugyal, a village which is known as the highest inhabited location of India. The village is 11,000 Feet above sea level, and the hike to the hilltop will start from the Didna village. The Ali Bugyal is green pasture land and looks like someone has painted a beautiful and colourful landscape. Take your take and enjoy the beauty of the village, talk with the shepherds, they usually have the best stories to share, and if you are lucky enough you will hear a melodious folk song from them. Walking along the trail unwinding in all the beauty you will finally reach the mega-beauty Ali Bugyal. We agree that the whole trek of Ali Bedni Bugyal is a breathtaking one with mind-blowing views but what Ali Bugyal has for you to offer is something else. The different shades of green are perfectly balanced with the white and blue background of the Himalayan mountain ranges, the most prominent among which is Mt. Trishul. And this is just not true if you have to trek for half an hour more to the Bedni where you will find your campsite for the day. After reaching Bedni enjoy around the Bedni kund, relax, explore the temple and sign off to your tents.
Today is the day when you will actually explore the second half of the Bugyals, The Bedni Bugyal. Just like Ali Bugyals, you will find a gorgeous view of the greens with the white and blue in the background in front of your eyes. You will find vibrant and different colours of flowers during the summer. Take your time to enjoy the views, have your packed lunch in the meadows itself, click good pictures and then proceed towards the Ghairoli Patal (follow the descending route) The trail makes its way through the forests, dark, deep, thick forests. Don’t rush walk with your time as there is a high chance of you rushing and tumbling over. You will spot an open ground amidst the forest. It is your campsite for the day Ghairoli Patal. Have a warm dinner and depart to your assigned tents.Â
Altitude Loss: 10,500-7,650 Ft. The final day of your trek is here, retrace your step back to the campsite village: Lohajung. Step back to the Neel Ganga bridge, after that your next stop is Wan village (also known as Ran ka Dhar) If you want you may spend some time with the locals, click some snaps and then proceed forward towards the road ahead, a car will wait for you to take you to Lohajung. After reaching Lohajung, relax, if you want you can explore the local market and accommodate yourself in the guesthouse
