Kedarnath – Chopta – Tungnath – Badrinath – Rishikesh
Kedarnath is one of the sacred char dhams for the followers of Hinduism, the others being Badrinath, Gangotri, and Yaunotri. Kedarnath standing at an altitude of 3584m above sea level is guarded by mighty Himalayas. Apart from strong religious significance, Kedarnath in Garhwal region features unmatched natural beauty. The snow capped mountains and alpine forests create a whole new world altogether. Apart from Kedarnath we include Shiva’s highest temple – Tungnath Mahadev. Which is also known as one the panch kedar shivling, situated near Chopta and the most beautiful trek Chandrashila is also part of the trip. Leisure day at Rishikesh will make a perfect Combination of adventure, trekking and leisure as well.
As a part of new normal we will follow all the necessary guidelines social distancing, sanitized vehicle and fresh food. As a part of long journey we skipped some food also, but you will get required nutrition as per itinerary and altitude.

3 Hours Before Flight Time
Under some extraordinary circumstance, your trek may end a day earlier or start a day later. This may become necessary due to inclement weather, snow and ice conditions, political restrictions, or any other cause. In the event of a change, postponement or delay, participants have no right to refund of the trek (in whole or in part) or other compensation for any injury, loss or damage. Trek fee is not charged broken down in terms of days but is a composite fee for the whole trek.
Fitness: A high altitude trek in the Himalayas requires considerable fitness. Your body needs to train itself to process more work with lower levels of oxygen. Therefore, on treks, cardiovascular training is critically important. You need to be able to jog a distance of 4 km in 40 mins before the start of the trek. Unable to do so can make your trek difficult. In addition, the preparation of trek needs to include strength and flexibility training. Registering for the trek is an understanding that you will undertake the mandated fitness training.
Backpack carrying: All trekkers are advised to carry their own backpacks. All common gear will be carried by the support team. If for some reason a trekker is unable to carry his or her backpack, he/she can offload the same by paying an additional charge before they start the trek. No suitcases/trolleys will be allowed.
Drop out during trek: If for any reason a participant has to drop out from the trek on any day then we will help the trekker to reach the nearest road head. The support staff will accompany the participant to the nearest road head.
