Registration Is Mandatory
Every pilgrim must register with Uttarakhand Tourism before the yatra. We handle this for all our travellers.
The Trek
The 16 km trek from Gaurikund takes 6–8 hours. Ponies, palkis and pithus are available. Start early in the morning to avoid afternoon rain.
Helicopter Option
Helicopters fly from Phata, Sersi and Guptkashi in about 8–10 minutes. Seats sell out fast, so book as soon as the official portal opens.
What to Pack
Rain jacket, warm layers, good trekking shoes, a torch and basic medicines. Temperatures can drop near zero even in summer nights.
