Detailed Itinerary
Day 1
Drive from Dehradun (640 mts) to Peethsain (2260 mts) via Thalisain 215 km (7 to 8 hours)
Kick off your Himalayan adventure with an early morning drive from the spiritual town of Rishikesh to Peethsain, winding through the scenic landscapes and cool breezes of the Garhwal hills. The journey of 213 km (7-8 hours) showcases ever-changing vistas—lush river valleys, pine forests, and sleepy mountain hamlets like Pauri and Pabo. As you ascend, spot the green terraced fields and distant ridges. On arrival at Peethsain (2260m), set up in cozy twin-sharing tents. Wander local villages or visit the Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali Memorial for a taste of Garhwal’s rich heritage. After sunset, enjoy a hearty dinner under crystal clear mountain skies and rest well for the trek ahead
Day 2
Trek from Peethsain (2260 mts) to Binsar Mahadev (2514 mts) 11 km (5 to 6 hours)
Wake to refreshing mountain air and begin your 11 km trek to Binsar Mahadev (2514m), a 5-6 hour walk along gently undulating forest trails. This route is a treat for nature lovers—oak, deodar, and rhododendron trees shelter vibrant birds and wildflowers. You’ll traverse terraced farmland and quiet clearings with spellbinding valley views. Breaks at local tea stalls and the revered Bharmdhungi boulder temple add spiritual energy to your journey. Continuing through pastoral scenes, reach the ancient Binsar Mahadev Temple, surrounded by cool woods and the soft music of mountain streams. Tonight’s twin-sharing tents let you soak in the calm forest ambiance.
Day 3
Trek from Binsar (2260 mts) to Udayaramun Kharak (2684 mts) 5 km (3 to 4 hours)
Today is a shorter but delightful 5 km trek (3-4 hours) to Udayaramun Kharak (2684m). The well-worn shepherd trails lead you through mixed forest, wildflower patches, and fern-laced glades. It’s a gentle climb but rewards with ever-brightening vistas and the chance to spot village life at the forest edge. The high meadows of Udayaramun Kharak offer breathtaking open views—perfect for an afternoon of rest or nature photography before camp. Settle into your tents with the sounds of wind and stars above.
Day 4
Trek from Udayaramun Kharak (2684 mts) to Dudhatoli (3042 mts) 5 km (3 to 4 hours)
After breakfast in the lap of nature, embark on the 4-5 km trek (around 3-4 hrs) to Dudhatoli, reaching the highest altitude of 3042m. The trail meanders through thick woods and opens onto ridge-top meadows, often shrouded in mystical drifting fog. Along the way, linger at Lagadtaal for broad mountain views and at Muskhor’s iconic burrowed stone. Navigating through Chobatta's trail junctions, you’ll make your final approach to Dudhatoli—a legendary high pasture with panoramic Himalayan views. Unwind in twin-sharing tents amid pristine wilderness and celebrate the day’s achievements
Day 5
Trek from Dudhatoli (3042 mts) to Bhararisain (2270 mts) 11 km (5 to 6 hours) and Return Drive to Dehradun 208 km (6 to 7 hours)

The route offers a blend of easy ridgeline walks, steep descents through vibrant forests, and peaceful meadows where you can reflect on your adventure. Bhararisain, a charming hill town, marks the trek’s end. Your vehicle awaits for the drive back to Rishikesh (208 km; 6–7 hours), where the river town’s warmth and creature comforts beckon after your offbeat Himalayan odyssey.
