Fix Trekking Season in Himalaya

Fixed Departure Treks

With the weather warming up nicely we are gearing up for the return of the trekking season in the Himalayas. We organized the first ever trekking expeditions into the Spiti valley, the Nanda Devi Inner Sanctuary, the Siachen Glacier and the Kanchenjunga Base Camp, and today we run hundreds of treks all over the Himalayas.

To kick off, we have 2 fantastic fixed departure trips; one a popular classic, the other a more unusual trek combined with a 3-day rafting expedition.

Dodital Trek: 6th - 12th March 2009
The Dodital trek is a unique combination of adventure, temples, flora and fauna. The scenic beauty on the trails is breathtaking: situated at an elevation of 9,680 ft, Dodital lake is home to the Himalayan trout and is surrounded by dense woods of oak, pine, deodar and rhododendrons.
Price: Rs. 14,860/- per person plus 3.09% service tax

Daanda Ka Nagraj Trek and Ganga Rafting Expedition : 14th -19th Mar 09
At an altitude of 4,855 ft Daanda Ka Nagraj is a famous Nag temple in the Pauri-Garhwal region. The trek is moderate and begins at the village of Singthali, leading up to Byasghat (a fantastic camping spot) before a steep climb to the temple.
On the last day we trek down to Devprayag where the Bhagirati meets the Alaknanda to form the Ganga, and mount our rafts for three consecutive days of rafting on grade 3 & 4 rapids all the way to Rishikesh, camping out under the stars each night.
