Kalindikhal Trek

This trek is for the more adventurous; with a fundamental knowledge of the mountains. It is an extension of the Nandavan Trek, eastward to Ghastoli and then to Badrinath via Kalindikhal pass (5967m)
The trek takes you from Nandanvan to Vasukital after due acclimatisation. From Vasukital to Mana, the trek falls in the 'inner line'. Do remember to take necessary permissions.


Note: For this trek you need to be an experienced trekker, you need to take necessary permissions and clearances from the govt. authorities.

The women in Garhwal epotomize the Himalayan beauty and the hard life in the mountains. They are the force behind all that moves and happens in the hills. Their sheer grit and simplicity flows like the Himalayan torrent that you never fail to admire and respect.

Kedarnath Vasukital Trek



Kedarnath is an altitude of 3584m. A magnificent temple was built by the Pandavas at the base of Kedarnath peak's south-eastern face, and millions of piligrims now come to offer their prayers to lord Shiva.

The trek starts from Gaurikund, where there is a hot water Sulphur Spring. While approaching Kedarnath, one passes through forests and comes across some beautiful Waterfalls en route. Kedarnath to Vasukital is a continuous ascent, offering a great trek. The view of Chaukhamba peaks and Mandakini Valley is wonderful from here.

Vassukital Lake is about 1/2 kms in radius with crystal clear water.
