Trekking Beyond: Walk the world's epic trails

Product Information

If you have about 4 to 5 days in hand then Har ki Doon is the best trek to consider. This trek will take you through some remote village of Uttarakhand as you walk through snow covered Har ki Dun Valley; getting a stunning view of Swargrohini peaks and Jaundar Glacier.

Some routes start from Lares village itself (home to hot springs); all routes run via alpine lakes, native forest and high passes (expect to reach around 4,500m) and camp at or near small settlements such as Quiswarani and Huacahuasi. For those who dislike canvas, Mountain Lodges of Peru runs a trekkers’ lodge at Huacahuasi. Itineraries usually end – either on foot or by road transfer – at the charming Inca town of Ollantaytambo, on the trainline to Machu Picchu.Time to begin the walk out from this remote and beautiful place. Today we retrace the route of our approach, dropping down as far as the camp at Kambachen (4096m). We should find breathing to be a little easier than it was 2 days ago as we trekked up through Lhonak and today is the perfect time to get those fantastic photos we might have missed on the way up. The use of a local guide means our customers will be well informed about local traditions and cultural-social sensitivities. Follow Guidelines: Adhere to the guidelines provided by the authorities and follow the designated trekking paths. A cold morning as it takes until around 8 am for the sun to clear the steep hillsides to the east. There are two more ‘passes’ to cross today, but there is little in the way of climbing. We begin by contouring the hillside for 2 hours enjoying fantastic views. The first pass reached is the Sele La and the next is the Tamo. We then descend for another hour and a half through rhododendron forest into Ghunsa (3425m). We can see Lapsang La Peak on the descent and the route down from the Lapsang La. The day is relatively short and we may opt to go all the way to camp for lunch. After lunch we will have the opportunity to visit the Ghunsa Gompa which is beautiful inside and well worth the effort. There are a few shops in the town and this is the place to buy a Tibetan rug, as there is a Tibetan Refugee Camp nearby. Ghunsa is also the best place to taste tungba, the traditional Tibetan wine made from millet. Difference in Experience: Understand the difference between regular and luxury trekking. While both offer a deep connection with nature, luxury trekking adds a layer of comfort and style, making every moment memorable.

The pace is relaxed and flexible, allowing trekkers to truly immerse themselves in the surroundings. Days may include leisurely breaks, picnics in picturesque spots, or short detours to hidden gems. Guiding and Service Regular Trekking Alcohol and Smoking: Refrain from consuming alcohol and smoking during the yatra, as it can worsen the effects of high altitude.Read about our commitment to nature protection and restoration here , including our rewilding commitment for every customer who travels with us.
