Haridwar Sari Chopta Rishikesh
Seller: Himalaya Hospitality
Greetings from Himalaya Hospitality ..........Rishikesh As reference your query for Chopta Package we are pleased to provide you below mentioned details.
Day 1: Drive Haridwar-Sari
On arrival meet our representative at Haridwar railway station. Haridwar-Rishikesh
by the Ganges is a famous site on the pilgrim trail of Uttarakhand. You can
spend your time in Rishikesh immersing in cultural activities and adventure
sports in the choppy waters of Ganga. We can pick you up alternatively from
Rishikesh as well. From this point to Sari village is a journey of 7-8 hours.
Take in the beautiful vista of lower Garhwal Himalayas as the drive turns
uphill. The most picturesquely notable stop on the way will be at Devaprayag- a
town marking the gorgeous confluence of Alakananda and Bhagirathi. The river
will keep you company throughout, reaching you at Sari by 6:00 in the evening.
The village is a pretty picture composed of little houses sketched across a
mountain backdrop and lined with green patches of agricultural fields. If you
are missing any minor requisite for the journey ahead, visit the market area in
Sari, just might find something useful!
Day
2: Trek to Deoriatal
The trek on the first day is easy with mixed ascent and descent. A well-defined
rocky trail will show you to the end, from where the Chandrashila summit is
clearly visible and the Tunganath temple is a speck of color. After this point,
it’s a steep uphill bend on the ridge back of the mountain. Get ready for an
acutely laborious climb, giving you the first taste of challenge. Soon, you
will reach the Forest Department built resting stop. Clocked timely by your
Trek Leader, you can afford a 20 minutes break here. An excellent view the way
of the mountain fall waits here. Post-rest, the trail will bend through a
forest of rhododendrons. Spring treks here in the crimson shadow rhododendron
blossoms make it memorable more than ever. We go steadily up. At 7, 434 ft.
village localities vanish from sight. Nearly 20 minutes from this point, we
will be standing with the waters of Deoriatal glistening down a lurching gentle
slope.
A grand vista of Chaukhamba massifs is unveiled in the background of the lake.
It will be mid-noon by the time you reach the spot. Wait for the morning when
the cloud cover lifts and a diamond-crushed sunlight elucidate the outlines of
Chaukhamba, making for the ultimate striking frame. Having the entire day to
yourself, explore the deep nooks of the forests lying out around, a paradise
for bird-watcher’s and nature lovers. Hot lunch on this day will be served on
reaching our lakeside camp in Deorital.
Day
3: Deoriatal to Chopta through Rohini Bugyal
Today’s trail will familiarize you more with the Chaukhamba massif and Mount
Kedar summit, rising closely as you process. Rhododendron and maples eclipse
the forest path, spreading a cool and rejuvenating vibe. In these thickets you
will find two prominent varieties of rhododendrons—red and pink, the
concentration of them thickens as you move pass the first forest stretch. The
trail is sprinkled with little shrines that stand out in the greenness by the
red and yellow flags tied on them. After crossing a clearing in the forest
lined with scarlet blossoms, we are directly ushered up an ascending path
towards Rohgini Bugyal and Chopta. The ascending trail gives way to a level
land and some leeway in the rigorous uphill hike. A resplendent view of the
Chandrashila awaits on the other side of the forest margin. After the
level-land, you will have to re-enter the forest now characterized with old
oaks and maple besides the rhododendrons. This forms part of the Kedarnath
Sanctuary, and with some luck, trekkers can spot red fox and other small wild
things. More 25 minutes of trekking in the Kedarnath Sanctuary trail and
you will reach the Bhagdwal temple. This is a junction point for three trek
routes. One connects to Sari village, another towards Ukhimath, and the central
one descending to the meadows of Rohini Bugyal. Along this line, Chandrashila
and flanked by the adjoining Kala Parvat Peak gain prominence. You can find the
way bending from here to Bisuri Tal lake and a small tarn named Nandikund,
situated at the base of Kala Parvat. Further down as you progress, a silvery
rivulet coming from Chandrashila meets your way. Here, you can fill your water
supplies and move on taking a small wooden bridge on the stream. A little way
up, the meadows start. Here, you will find a cluster of huts. Shepards from
local villages come here to graze their livestock. Not far from here, you will
find a road head at the margin of a jungle trail. In this area in the vicinity
of Chopta village, we have our campsite at a clearing in the forests.
Day
4: Chopta to Tungnath, Chandrashilla Top and back to Chopta
We commence the hike today early morning. Starting in the wee hours of dark
will let us have a beautiful sunrise experience from Tunganath top. The trek
runs on a well-defined concrete-bound trail from Chopta to the temple.
Today,the hike will be fraught with steep climbing challenges with sharp turns
to cross by. There will be other shrines on the way, of which a particular
temple with a flagpole is notable. This one comes after the 10th bend of the
road and marks the opening of a splendid view of Chandrashila up ahead. From
here, you will also get a clear vision of a connecting peak to Chandrashila.
This one is named Ravanshila.
In the winters, you will find snow from here. The 11th bend marks the entryway
to Tunganath above which the splendid Chandrashila peak towers at 12, 083 ft.
The route to the peak bends from behind the temple complex. Beware of thick
snow on this summit stretch after December till the end of April. Crampons and
gaiters are highly recommended for the snow climb and your trek lead is
expected top make the path through the cover of snow sludge with the help of an
ice axe. At the end of a steep and arduous climb, the summit will be
reached with a 360 degree view of the Garhwal and Kumaon mountains welcomingly
lying ahead. Notable peaks in this panorama of grandeur are—Nanda Devi,
Trishul, Nandaghunti, Dronagiri, Chaukhamba, and Kedar. Glimpses of the
Thalaysagar and Gangotri ranges too could be made out at the edges.
The downhill journey is relatively less time consuming and smoother. It will
take you about 3 hours to climb down to the Chopta campsite.
Day
5: Chopta to Haridwar
A ride back from the Chopta road head to Haridwar is scheduled for day 5. After
this 7 hour journey full of mellow reminisces of the hills, you will be
reaching Haridwar in the evening. An overnight journey to Delhi will hopefully
work out best.
