Detailed Itinerary

| Day 1 | 12 July, 2025 | 7.00 AM Rishikesh to Govindghat (1,828 m) |
| 270km Approx -7 hours drive | ||
| Over Night stay at Govindghat | ||
| Day 2 | 13 July, 2025 | Govindghat to Pulna Trek from Pulna to Ghangaria (3049m ) |
| 14km Trek | ||
| On a chilly morning we leave the comfort of Govindghat and trek to Ghangharia. We begin our gradual ascent towards Ghangharia which is the base for VOF and Hemkund and Hemkund Sahib. As we climb up, the river Lakshman Ganga, flows down below and comes closer to the level at which it flows. After steep climb, reaching Ghangaria feels like an achievement. After arrival at Ghangaria, before you retire for the night, gorge in some special dinner at the guest house. | ||
| Over Night stay at Ghangaria | ||
| Day 3 | 14 July, 2025 | Ghangharia (2,195 m) to Valley of Flowers (3,505 m) |
| Trek - 5km one side | ||
| We start the trail and pass gently through a coniferous forest, before descending to a bridge, climbing up a rocky trail, with the forest behind us, the sight of the first flowers begin to appear. The valley is beautiful, and there are meadows of flowers as if it’s a dream locale. Himalayan Balsam, is the most predominant flower of the valley and a thick blanket of these flowers can be seen everywhere. After viewing the God’s natural beauty we start descending to Ghangaria. | ||
| Over Night stay at Ghangaria | ||
| Day 4 | 15 July, 2025 | Ghangharia (2,195 m) to Hemkund Sahib (4,633 m ) |
| Trek -6km one side | ||
| Today's climb to Hemkund Sahib is steep at places and will take about 3 - 4 hrs. Hemkund Sahib is a popular Sikh Shrine built next to the beautiful lake. The lake is surrounded by wild flowers with Brahmkamal being the most popular. Pilgrims take a dip in the freezing cold waters of the lake, not an easy task. The hot tea served in the Gurudwara (shrine) is divine to say the least. We will also visit the Laxman mandir next to the Gurudwara. Towards late afternoon head back to Ghangria. | ||
| Over Night stay at Ghangharia | ||
| Day 5 | 16 July, 2025 | Ghangharia to Govindghat |

We would advise you to check the weather and road condition before heading to Badrinath. | ||
