Experience
The trip starts with a scenic drive from Dehradun, Rishikesh or Haridwar towards the destination – Chopta. Along the way one could see the confluence of the rivers Bhagirathi and Alaknanda to form the mighty Ganges. The entire region is a centre of religion, spirituality as one could see temples, pilgrims and sages throughout the drive. The trek itself starts the next day towards Chandrashila from where you would see the majestic mountains up close. These mountains (all of them 20,000 ft plus) include Chaukhamba, Kedarnath, Nanda Devi, Trishul, Neelkanth and Bandarpunch.
The next day after a short drive you would start the trek from the quaint village of Sari (not to be confused with the Saree – the clothing typically worn by Indian women ☺). The walk takes you to the beautiful lake of Deoria Tal with amazing reflection of the mountains that is bound to be etched in your mind forever.
