7 Nights / 8 Days
Package Overview
A village at the far end of the Parvati Valley in Himachal Pradesh, the village of Tosh is situated at a height of 7874 feet above sea-level. A four-hour bumpy ride from Bhuntar in a local bus leads one to Bharsheni which is the last stop on the bus route to the Parvati valley. Tosh is located a further three kilometers uphill from Bharsheni. To reach Tosh there is an option of takking a taxi which is a half an hour journey or to walk to the village via steps located opposite a Shiva temple. The walk takes 90 minutes along a winding road that is easy to walk along. To enter the village one has to walk over a wooden bridge.
After you arrive in Kathgodam, proceed towards Loharjung via bus or taxi. From Kathgodam, you will travel through the scenic hilly routes in order to reach your destination. On arriving in this little village, find your lodging and rest for the day.
Your Roopkund trek begins near the bus stand of the town. You start climbing from an altitude of 10500 feet and walk through a picturesque forest comprising Himalayan cedar and oak trees. After an easy walk for about 2.5 hours, you will reach the spot called Ruan Bagad, where you cross an old bridge across the Neel Ganga River. Alternatively, you can also take the road through wan village, and on the way along this route, you pass by the village of Kulling. From here, the steepness of the trail towards Ruan Bagad increases, which continues till you reach Didna. The hike from Ruan Bagad to Didna village, despite its tough terrain, takes only about 1.5 hours.
Continue Roopkund trekking after waking up early in the morning and climbing to Ali Bugyal. There are two routes that you can take to reach your destination. You can either climb the mountains directly or take a detour and continue through Tolpani. The first route is difficult due to the high gradient of the climb while the other one can take two hours more than the former. Whichever way you choose, you should try to reach Ali Bugyal by noon to behold the enchanting views from up there.
This day, your Roopkund trekking package will take you from the beautiful meadow to the breathtaking site of Ghora Lotani. The way to it is not steep at all, and you walk on a well-marked path built of stones. At such a height, short grass is all you see as the tree line ends at Ali Bugyal itself. Also, while you are trekking along the path, the clouds may often be near the surface and almost touching your face, making the atmosphere mystical.
The ensuing stage of this Roopkund trek is relatively tougher because of the considerable gain in altitude. As you will enter an area of high elevation, you will need to take all necessary precautions to avoid altitude sickness. Hiking up a zigzag path, you reach the temple of Kalu Vinayak, which houses an idol of Lord Ganesha. The temple is constructed by arranging irregular pebbles and bricks atop each other. You may stop here and pray to the deity for good luck before hiking further. After reaching Bhagwabasa, rest for the night at the provided spot.
To continue with the Roopkund trekking, wake up at 5 am to reach Roopkund before the rising sun melts the snow and makes the path slushy. After hiking for about 3.5 hours, you reach the destination. If the weather permits, you may climb higher up to Junargali Pass as the ascent is quite short and takes only about half-an-hour. Post seeing the mystical skeletons and exploring the site, retrace your path and return to Bhagwabasa.
This day, make your way back to Loharjung as a part of your, passing by Bedini Bugyal and Wan village. You may click photos of the views that you see from the bugyal or relax for a while. After resting, recommence descending through the Himalayas to Wan. The hike from Bhagwabasa to Wan will take around 6.5 hours and after you reach the village, board a vehicle and drive to Loharjung.
This is the end of your trekking excursion, but not of your amazing journey. Even as you drive from Loharjung to Kathgodam for the onward journey back home, you will encounter amazing views on the way.
