DETAILED ITINERARY

Day-1 Overnight train from Delhi to Dehradun
After the mandatory briefing at IMF in Delhi, we proceed to the railway station to take the overnight train to Dehradun arriving in the early hours of morning the next day. Overnight train journey.

Day-2 Arrive Uttarkashi
We arrive early morning at Dehradun. The drive to Uttarkashi goes through windy roads passing the hill town of Mussoorie. We stop at Mussoorie for a quick breakfast and continue northwards to the small town of Uttarkashi which is spread along the banks of the Bhagirathi river. On a clear day we can have the first glimpse of the mountain from Mussoorie or on our drive to Uttarkashi. After lunch at the hotel the guides go through your gear and sort out any things you may have missed. Uttarkashi is home to Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (NIM), one of the premier mountaineering instruction schools in India. Hundreds of young adults have graduated from these schools and have gone on to become great mountaineers. Overnight at Uttarkashi Hotel.

Day-3 Drive 2.5hrs to Sukhi & trek to the forest camp (2950m)
We start early in the morning & drive 2.5 hrs to the starting point of our trek at Sukhi. Sukhi is a small village at an altitude of 2500m and has few houses and many apple orchards. Sep/ Oct is apple harvest time in this area, so you might find many villagers offering apples for free. It is a steep trek up to a Khagi pass at 3420m from where we descend steeply down to the forest camp. The pass offers a good view of our route to the summit on the west and views of Gangotri I, II, III, Jaonli & Srikanth peaks in the south. Overnight at Camp.

Day-4 Trek to Base Camp (3780m)
It is a long days walk to the base camp. We descend to the confluence of Son Gad & Chaiyaan Gad rivers and follow Chaiyyan Gad all the way up to the Base Camp. The walk is very beautiful as it goes through dense forests, some beautiful meadows and finally goes above the tree line to get to the base camp at the foot of the Chaiyyan glacier. We might come across some shepherds camping in the meadows with their flock. Overnight at Camp.
