A journey that beckons devout souls to set forth on a pilgrimage of endurance and devotion With no roads to guide their way, these ardent seekers set out on a pilgrimage through the ethereal high-altitude pass, braving the elements and testing the limits of their physical and spiritual fortitude.

Dehradun to Sankri via Mussoorie
The first day begins with a breathtaking journey from Dehradun to Sankri. Meet the rest of the group at the Dehradun train station at 6:30 a.m. The distance between Dehradun and Sankri is around 200 kilometres, or about 7-8 hours of driving time. Mussoorie, known as the "Queen of the Hills," is on the route, as are the Yamuna River, the Tonnes River, the Kempty Waterfall, the Pine Forests, the Deep Gorges, and lastly Govind National Park. Sankri, a gorgeous and charming Himalayan village, is where the drive concludes and from which many hikes into the Himalayas begin. The hamlet itself affords stunning views of Mount Swargrohini.
If you're hiking in the winter, you might see snow as early as Sankri. After you've showered at the House of Mountbuzz, you'll have plenty of time to explore the local marketplace. Sankri's bazaar is stocked with a wide selection of trekking equipment, clothing, and necessities in case you forgot anything before your trip.
Sankri to Seema
After an early breakfast, we embark on the most anticipated adventure. To start with, we take a thrilling and bumpy drive through the dirt road built at the edge of the mountain. It gets wilder and trickier as the road crosses multiple streams and enters the thick forest. The 1-hour drive with the music of the birds is a magical experience in itself, as the path gives a drift of the terrain. The road ends at the secluded village of Dharkot, where the trek starts after a quick refreshment. The trail begins with a gradual decline to the banks of the picturesque Tonnes River and then continues on a level path through coniferous forests while maintaining the river on the right. There is always a lush green canopy above you. The first concrete crossing of a mountain stream may be seen after about 10 minutes of walking. Following the trail upstream, you'll reach some picturesque wooden bridges, perfect for a quick Instagram photo op over the creek. In the spring and summer, you can see beds of colourful orchids all along the trail. At midday, you'll stop by the Supin tributary for a picnic meal. Several tea stands and Maggie Points can be found throughout the route.
Seema to Devsu Bugyal
After waking up to a beautiful sunrise amidst the misty mountains, we begin the day with a warmup, stretching, and yoga session, followed by a decent breakfast. The trek from Seema along the Supin River to Devsu Bugyal stretches up to a distance of almost 10 kilometres and has a moderate difficulty level since the pass has a mixture of moderate ascent and descent. The trail begins with the excitement of lush greenery and moves through vast meadows filled with beautiful Himalayan flowers. Later, the path turns rocky and sandy as you enter the enchanting valley of Ruinsara. The nearby forest is home to a variety of rare birds and wild animals that you may spot during the journey. At a stunning vantage point that offers a view of Osla village, we will stop for a while to enjoy the captivating atmosphere and grab a bite of our packed lunch. You could also witness the meeting of two alpine rivers that go down into the valley. Post-beak, we continue walking for another 2 km amidst pure natural beauty adorned with flowery meadows. As you reach the picturesque campsite of Devsu Bugyal, be prepared to be mesmerised by the panoramic vista that unfolds before your eyes. Feast your senses on the magnificent surrounding landscape, where nature's wonders come together in perfect harmony. Upon your arrival at the campsite, tea and refreshments will be served, which are specially curated to tantalise your taste buds. Immerse yourself in the peaceful ambiance of this remarkable location, where every moment is infused with pure bliss. We can call it a day with post-dinner relaxation under the celestial canopy as the night sky transforms into a mesmerising tapestry of shimmering stars.
Devsu Bugyal to Ruinsara Lake
As the first light of the day hits our riverside campsite, we begin the day with a warmup, stretching, and yoga session. After a delicious breakfast session, we start our trek to the next campsite on the bank of Ruinsara Taal, a pristine alpine lake surrounded by towering peaks of the Garhwal Himalayas. Given its eternal beauty and tranquil atmosphere, trekkers spend days walking in the mountains just to visit this hidden jewel. Today we will cover a total distance of around 7 km in just 4-5 hours, as the trail is pretty soft. It starts in the meadows of Devsu and continues to find its path through vistas of grasslands, coniferous forests, and rhododendron blooms. The grandeur of lofty Himalayan peaks will greet you upon your arrival at the picture-perfect location of Ruinsara Lake. From our campsite by the lake, you can see a number of prominent Himalayan peaks, including the majestic Bandarpoonch range, Black Peak, Dhumdhar Kandi, White Peak, and the mighty Yamuna Kantha Pass that connects to Yamunotri, one of the Char Dhams in Uttarakhand. A buffet of refreshments will be offered upon your arrival at the campsite. Engage in a delicious meal under the canopy of shining stars before retiring for the night.
Ruinsara Lake to Odari
It will be a light day, and breakfast will be delayed by 30 minutes, which means you can sleep a bit more. Enjoy a mouthwatering platter of English breakfast with the mesmerising view of the Ruinsara lake before you leave the campsite and head towards the next stop at Odari. As per the locals, the name ‘Odari’ means a rocky cave that’s naturally formed. The location is a perfect spot to camp for the night amidst glacial snow and scree. The trek begins with dense vegetation alongside the Supin River, only to make us cross the river using a human chain and a coil of rope for safety. It is, however, an enjoyable experience with the group. The trail continues through the snow fields and meadows, surrounded by tall mountain ranges, and crosses a few small snow ridges before reaching Odari. Upon your arrival at the campsite, tea and snacks will be served. We request that you stay hydrated and have proper meals on time so that your body adapts well to the altitude and temperature. Let our chef surprise you with his signature Rajma curry while you enjoy a satisfying dinner with your buddies.
Odari to Bali Col campsite
Today, with a promise of stunning views, we embark on a thrilling journey as we bid farewell to the picturesque campsite of Odari and begin our ascent towards Bali Col. Please carry at least 2.5 litres of drinking water, as there are no water points until you reach the next campsite. Along the way, you will be taken aback by the beautiful sight of sedimentary rocks and snow transforming into magnificent ridges. These natural wonders have been delicately carried down from the glaciers and deposited over the years, creating a trail that is simply gorgeous. The trail gradually gains altitude as we climb the strenuous incline. We urge you to follow the instructions given by the captain very strictly so that you acclimatise well and do not get AMS (acute mountain sickness). Keep your ears always open because they play the most important role in the process of adapting to a new environment. Let a warm jacket be handy for sudden drops in the temperature. After covering a good distance until the third ridge, we will stop for some food and rest. A packed lunch will be provided, along with packed juice to stay charged. Keep on following the trek leader with careful steps over slippery snow and icefields until you reach the campsite at a daunting height of 15,100 ft above sea level. Discover the enchanting allure of the Bali Pass base camp and immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of this destination. Make sure you have adequate rest for the night after a proper dinner to be ready for your ultimate adventure tomorrow. Hot water and warm soup will be served after dinner in the tents.
Bali Col campsite to Lower Dhamni via Bali Pass
As you unzip your tents at dawn, the most anticipated day of exciting adventure awaits. The stage is set for an exhilarating Himalayan exploration with breathtaking views and surreal landscapes. After an early breakfast at 5:30 am, we will assemble for a quick briefing session and begin the trek towards Bali Pass, perched at a height of 16,200 ft. An early start ensures that we reach the top of the pass well in time to enjoy a breathtaking panorama of the surrounding snow-clad mountain ranges. As the snow is still firm during the early hours, this not only makes it simpler to walk, but it also makes it safer. It takes around 2–3 hours to scale the Bali Pass from Bali Col, and the entire trail is covered by a blanket of snow. Although the trail is a bit technical, our experienced trek leaders will assist and guide you through the accurate path. As there are boulders and loose rocks on the path, be mindful of your steps to avoid any mishaps.
A sense of joy and accomplishment ushers in as you stand on the top of Bali Pass after overcoming all the hardships and challenges. Be mesmerised to witness the grandeur of the Bandarpoonch range and Swargarohini massif peak out of the clouds in your wake. You can also see the enchanting valley of Yamunotri from a fair distance. Immerse yourself in the serene landscape of the upper Himalayas and delve deep into its incomprehensible beauty. While you are occupied with your photo sessions, we will serve you your packed lunch and juice.
Now, let's wrap up and get ready to descend to the other side of the pass. Even though it is a downhill trek, the path is filled with loose rocks and glacial ponds, making it strenuous. Always be together with the team, as the trail is difficult to navigate. Greenery and vegetation appear again as you come downhill. Since it will be your last night on the mountains, we have planned a surprise gala dinner at the campsite of Lower Dhamni. Have a great time and relax after a tiring day.
Lower Dhamni to Janakichatti via Yamunotri temple (Trek) ; Janakichatti to Dehradun (Drive)
After breakfast, get ready to bid farewell to the picturesque campsite of Lower Dhamni and begin the last day of the trek through the jungles of Dhamni. Today, we are visiting the sacred pilgrimage of Yamunotri Dham, one of the Char Dhams in India. The trail is fairly well maintained and cemented. It is an easy and peaceful walk under the canopy of coniferous forest. After seeking blessings and paying tribute to the ancient shrine, we continue the descent till Janakichatti, where our vehicles will be ready to take you to Dehradun. We will stop on the way to have lunch. You can expect to reach Dehradun by 7 p.m., provided the traffic is normal.
