Route Map

Trek Itinerary

The group meets at the designated pickup point at 6:30 AM. From here, we begin our scenic 270 km / ~9 hour drive from Rishikesh to Lohajung.

The route follows the valleys of the Ganga, Alaknanda, and Pindar rivers, passing through iconic confluences such as Devprayag, Rudraprayag, and Karnaprayag, each a sacred sangam where rivers and traditions meet.

Upon arrival at Lohajung Base Camp, you’ll settle into your guesthouse/homestay (shared rooms). Dinner will be served in the evening, followed by an overnight stay at the base camp.

Morning briefing about the trek, followed by a short acclimatization hike to Aijan Top (2,550 m). During the day, we’ll cover important information about the Himalayas, acclimatization, local culture, and history. Free time to rent or buy gear if needed, and prepare backpacks for the upcoming trek. In the evening, enjoy a gentle Yoga session and relax in the village. Overnight in a homestay at Lohajung Base Camp.

This day is optional and can be skipped, but we strongly recommend it as it supports acclimatization and offers important insights before the trek begins.

After an early wake-up and breakfast in Lohajung, we drive about 7 km by local vehicle to the village of Kuling, where the trek begins. The trail first descends towards the river, crossing through dense forest rich in oak, rhododendron and bamboo, creating a lush and intimate Himalayan atmosphere.

After crossing the river, the path starts a steady ascent towards Didna, a small and remote mountain village where roads no longer reach. By late morning, we arrive in Didna and enjoy lunch at a local guesthouse. This is a great opportunity to experience traditional village life in the Himalayas. Accommodation is simple but welcoming, with shared rooms and beds. Electricity may be available at times, but internet access is no longer present, allowing for a deeper disconnection.

In the evening, we enjoy an early dinner in Didna while watching the sunset over the surrounding valleys, a peaceful moment to settle into the rhythm of the mountains.

Overnight stay in a guesthouse in Didna.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

Distance: ~5 km
Positive elevation gain: ~462 m
Descent: ~334 m
Minimum altitude: ~2,032 m
Maximum altitude: ~2,462 m
Total duration: ~2:30 h
Time in motion: ~1:00 h

After an early wake-up and breakfast at the guesthouse in Didna, we pack our lunch in a tiffin box and begin the ascent through dense forest. The trail passes shepherds’ huts and traditional grazing areas, offering a glimpse into the pastoral life of the high Himalayas. Along the way, we take several short breaks, and depending on the season, we may stop at a small local dhaba to enjoy a cup of chai (traditional milk tea) or a fresh orange or buransh (rhododendron) juice, all locally sourced.

As we reach the first open meadow and leave the tree line behind, we stop for lunch surrounded by wide alpine landscapes. The trail then continues across the vast Ali Bugyal meadows, where the first dramatic views of Chaukhamba, Nanda Ghunti and Mount Trishul unfold. By afternoon, we arrive at our campsite, with time to rest and enjoy the sunset from a nearby hill overlooking the meadows.

Dinner is served at the campsite, followed by an overnight stay in tents. Tents are shared, though a private tent can be arranged for an additional cost. On clear nights, the star-filled sky at this altitude is truly spectacular.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

Distance: ~11 km
Positive elevation gain: ~1,133 m
Descent: ~162 m
Minimum altitude: ~2,454 m
Maximum altitude: ~3,564 m
Total duration: ~6:30 h
Time in motion: ~2:00 h

After an early wake-up and breakfast at our campsite in Ali Bugyal (3,430 m), we begin the gradual ascent toward Pathar Nachauni. The trail moves gently across high alpine terrain, making this a less demanding day compared to the previous stage, and ideal for acclimatization.

As we walk, the landscape slowly changes and the route offers contrasting perspectives of two valleys. On one side, we look back toward the Chaukhamba massif, while further along the trail we cross into the valley facing Mount Trishul. Although we are now much closer to the mountains and the views are less wide-ranging than the day before, the sense of scale and proximity to these peaks is deeply impressive.

We reach the Pathar Nachauni campsite (3,910 m) around midday, where we have lunch and spend the afternoon resting, hydrating and allowing our bodies to adapt to the altitude. The quieter pace of the day gives us time to enjoy the high-mountain atmosphere and prepare for the days ahead.

Dinner is served at the campsite, followed by an overnight stay in tents. This acclimatization day is key to continuing the trek safely and comfortably.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

  • Time in motion: ~2:00 h
  • Distance: ~7 km
  • Positive elevation gain: ~480 m
  • Descent: minimal
  • Minimum altitude: ~3,430 m
  • Maximum altitude: ~3,910 m
  • Total duration: ~4:00 h

After a slower wake-up at Pathar Nachauni, we enjoy breakfast at the campsite and take the morning without rush. This is a short but important day focused on acclimatization. Once ready, we begin the ascent towards Bhagwabasa, gradually gaining altitude from 3,910 m to around 4,310 m.

The trail climbs steadily to a small pass, from where the terrain becomes gentler. From here, the path flattens out, leading us across an open high-altitude landscape with wide views over the valley and the impressive summit of Mount Trishul rising above us. Despite the altitude, this is a relaxed and scenic walk, allowing the body to adapt naturally.

We arrive early at Bhagwabasa, where we settle into camp for the day. The afternoon is dedicated to rest, hydration and continued acclimatization, surrounded by dramatic Himalayan scenery. Dinner is served at the campsite, followed by an overnight stay in tents beneath the high peaks.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

  • Time in motion: ~1:30 h
  • Distance: ~3.6 km
  • Positive elevation gain: ~400 m
  • Descent: minimal
  • Minimum altitude: ~3,910 m
  • Maximum altitude: ~4,310 m
  • Total duration: ~3:00 h

After an early wake-up and breakfast at the campsite in Bhagwabasa (4,310 m), we set off before sunrise for one of the most iconic and rewarding days of the trek. The trail ascends steadily across rocky terrain and seasonal snowfields, gradually entering a stark high-altitude landscape shaped by glaciers and ancient moraines.

As we gain height, we enjoy dramatic views over the upper reaches of the valley and the source area of the Rup Ganga River, which flows down from the Roopkund basin. After approximately 3 km of ascent, we reach the legendary Roopkund Lake, located at around 4,800 m. Known worldwide as the “Skeleton Lake,” Roopkund is famous for the ancient human remains discovered along its shores, believed to date back over a thousand years. Surrounded by towering Himalayan peaks, the lake offers a powerful and atmospheric experience.

From here, those who feel strong and well-acclimatized have the option to continue ascending towards Junargali Top (approximately 4,900–5,000 m). This final push rewards us with the most spectacular viewpoint of the entire trek, offering close and commanding views of Mount Trishul and the surrounding Himalayan giants.

After spending time at the lake and viewpoint, we descend back to Bhagwabasa for lunch. Following a short rest, we continue descending to Pathar Nachauni (3,910 m), where we settle into camp for the night. Dinner is served at the campsite, and the evening is dedicated to rest after an intense and unforgettable day in the high Himalayas.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

Bhagwabasa → Roopkund Lake → Junargali Top (optional) → Bhagwabasa

  • Distance: ~6.7 km

Bhagwabasa → Pathar Nachauni

  • Total duration: ~2:00 h
  • Distance: ~3 km
  • Descent: ~400 m

After an early wake-up and breakfast at the campsite in Pathar Nachauni (3,910 m), we begin our long descent towards the village of Wan. The trail first crosses the wide alpine meadows of Bedni Bugyal, where we stop to visit the sacred Bedni Kund lake and its small temple, an important pilgrimage site connected to the Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra.

Leaving the open meadows behind, we gradually enter dense forest, descending through oak and rhododendron trails until reaching Gehroli Patal, where we stop for lunch and a well-deserved rest. In the afternoon, the descent continues as we cross the river and then climb gently for a short section before descending again towards Wan.

By late afternoon, we arrive in the village of Wan (2,500 m), home to the revered Latu Devta Temple. Depending on arrival time and seasonal opening, we will visit the temple before concluding the trekking journey.

From Wan, we take a local vehicle back to Lohajung (approximately 1 hour, 15 km). We return to the same guesthouse where the trek began, once again enjoying the comfort of beds, access to water, electricity and internet, a gentle transition back to village life after days in the mountains. Dinner and overnight stay at the guesthouse in Lohajung.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

  • Time in motion: ~4–5 h
  • Distance: ~14–16 km
  • Positive elevation gain: ~400–600 m
  • Descent: ~1,400–1,500 m
  • Minimum altitude: ~2,500 m

In the afternoon, a relaxing Yoga session. If the weather allows, we’ll also enjoy a short sunset walk to a nearby viewpoint.

This day is optional and can be skipped, but we strongly recommend it to explore the village and experience the local Himalayan culture.

Return journey from Lohajung Base Camp to Rishikesh (~9 hours by bus). End of the trekking trip.

THE TEAM

Why trek with The 108 Peaks?

Our treks are designed to go beyond the summit, focusing on people, culture and a respectful way of experiencing the Himalayas.

Meet the team
Small Groups

We work with small groups of up to twelve people to ensure safety, personal attention and a deeper connection with the mountains. A smaller group allows a natural pace, less impact on the environment and a more meaningful trekking experience.

Cultural Immersion

We create moments to live the Himalayas like locals do. Sharing chai and chapati, visiting traditional mud houses, spending time in villages and experiencing daily mountain life beyond the trekking trail.

Fair Pay & Respect

Everyone involved in our treks receives fair and respectful wages. Guides, cooks, mule handlers and support teams are treated with dignity, supporting ethical tourism and sustainable livelihoods in Himalayan communities.

Professional Guides

Our guides combine strong technical knowledge with deep local experience and genuine care for people and mountains. You are supported at every step, with safety, acclimatization and the journey always coming first.

LOCATION

Uttarakhand, Devhoomi

In Uttarakhand, in the Indian Himalayas, the mountains are lived as a sacred space. Known as Devbhoomi, the Land of the Gods, this region is where the river Ganges is born, ancient temples stand in remote locations, and daily life remains closely tied to nature and tradition. Walking through these valleys means entering a quieter, less-travelled part of India, where silence, altitude and landscape shape the experience.


Lohajung, the starting point of the trek, is the last inhabited village before the high Himalayas. Beyond it, there are only alpine meadows, seasonal grazing lands and remote trails leading deeper into the massif. Local languages like Garhwali and a slower rhythm of life reflect an ancient mountain culture, standing at the natural frontier between rural India and the great Himalayan ranges beyond.

THE LAKE

Roopkund Trek

The Roopkund Trek is one of the most striking treks in the Indian Himalayas. Over six days, we’ll cross forests, alpine meadows, and high-mountain landscapes until we reach Roopkund Lake at approx. 4,800 meters. This lake is famous for a fascinating mystery: hundreds of human skeletons were found in and around its frozen waters, dated by studies to over a thousand years ago. The most accepted theory is that they belonged to pilgrims caught in a hailstorm. Beyond its history, the route offers spectacular views of Mt. Trishul (7,120 m) and a deep connection with the wild and legendary essence of the Himalayas.

During the trek, we’ll sleep in tents or simple local accommodations, eat meals prepared in the field, and experience daily life at the pace of the mountains. There is no phone coverage, no Wi-Fi, no modern comforts: just the trail, the group, and the landscape. This simplicity, far from being a limitation, becomes a gift. It helps us stay present, connect with nature and ourselves, and live an experience that goes beyond tourism: an adventure with soul.

THE TREK

Acclimatization

Acclimatizing is not optional — it is essential.
To safely and comfortably reach more than 5,000 meters of altitude, proper acclimatization is key. The Roopkund Trek is designed with a gradual progression that allows us to adapt step by step to altitude changes.

The first days in Lohajung (2,400 m) include short hikes and gentle activities to help the body adjust to the mountain environment. Once we begin the route, the elevation gains are distributed in a balanced way and the stages are manageable, with time to rest and listen to your own rhythm.

Throughout the entire trek, we offer mindful and attentive guidance: we closely observe how each person is feeling and always prioritize health over any goal. If anyone shows symptoms of altitude sickness, timely measures will be taken, including descent if necessary. In that case, only the affected person would go down, accompanied by a local guide, while the rest of the group can continue with the planned itinerary.

You will be in good hands: with trained guides, knowledgeable of the region, and prepared to offer support and adapt to any situation with responsibility and care.

THE TREK

Weight / equipment

During the trek, most of the equipment will be transported by mules: camping tents, sleeping bags, cooking utensils, food, and shared gear. Each participant also has the option to hand over one bag with their personal items (clothing, toiletries, etc.), which the mules will carry from one campsite to the next.
This means you will only need to walk with a small daypack containing what you need for the day: some fruit or nuts, a rain jacket, a warm layer… and most importantly, your enthusiasm. This logistics setup allows us to hike lighter and fully enjoy the journey.
If we encounter snow on any section of the trail (which can happen in some high-altitude areas in May), we will use crampons to continue safely.

THE TREK

Am I ready?

You don’t need to be an athlete or have prior high-altitude experience to do this trek, but it is important to have a good level of fitness and, above all, genuine motivation. You’ll be walking between 4 and 7 hours a day, for 6 consecutive days, on mountain terrain and at altitude.


If you enjoy hiking, are used to trails with elevation gain, and feel comfortable moving with a light backpack, you’re probably ready. What matters most is not being the fastest, but approaching the journey with the right attitude, awareness, and respect for everyone’s pace. We’ll be there to guide you so you can experience the trek with confidence and peace of mind.

Accommodation

Accommodation in Lohajung, our base village, is in a local homestay or guesthouse where we stay on the first and last night. Rooms are shared (2 or 4 people) in a simple, welcoming mountain-home atmosphere. Private rooms are available on request for an additional cost. Facilities are basic, with limited electricity and water at times, and no Wi-Fi — a natural part of life in remote Himalayan villages.

On the first trekking day, we stay overnight in Didna, a small mountain village accessible only on foot. Accommodation is very simple, with shared rooms, no shower and no internet connection. This stay allows for deep rest, disconnection and an authentic experience of Himalayan village life.

During the trek, we camp in government-designated areas, with all permits arranged by our team. We provide high-quality camping equipment suitable for altitude, including tents, sleeping mats and sleeping bags. Tents are shared by default, with the option of a private tent for an additional cost.

THE TREK

The group

At The 108 Peaks, we keep our trekking groups small — from 1 to a maximum of 12 people — because we believe the Himalayas are best experienced in a close, human and respectful atmosphere. Our groups bring together people from different countries, ages, genders and life paths, and this diversity naturally enriches the journey, creating an open and welcoming environment.

We look for participants who don’t just want to complete a trekking route, but who are also curious to listen to local stories, understand the land, and experience, even briefly, what mountain life is really like. We walk through sacred regions, places where it feels as if we are being invited into someone’s home. Respect is essential. We honour it by caring for the land, the culture and the local communities. We work with local teams, pay them fairly, and handle every detail with honesty and responsibility.

We also value a spirit of adaptability. During the trek, you may share rooms, tents or vehicles, and conditions can be simple: limited electricity, limited internet and the natural rhythm of mountain life. If what you’re looking for is adventure, authenticity and respect, then you’re in the right place.

Next step

Before starting this journey–trek, we will get in touch with you to answer any questions you may have. After that, you will receive the payment document along with the cancellation policy. Once you have reviewed everything, you will reserve your spot by making the initial deposit. Next, you will fill out a short form with basic personal and health information.

For participants coming from outside the country, we can also schedule a video call to help with the visa process, flights, travel insurance, and other logistics. Please note that for foreigners, trekking permits are more expensive, so the final price may be slightly higher.

Participants will receive a detailed gear list specifying what is provided (such as the tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, and other shared equipment) and what you need to bring or rent, like a headlamp, trekking poles, hiking boots, or an appropriate jacket.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

May – June and September – October offer the clearest skies and safest conditions.

It’s a moderate-to-challenging trek suitable for trekkers with basic fitness and some prior hiking experience.

It’s not recommended as a first trek. Roopkund is a demanding high-altitude route, and it’s better to start with shorter treks like Brahmatal or Ali Bedni Bugyal if you have no prior trekking experience. These will help you build confidence and acclimatization before attempting Roopkund.

Yes, you can! We can usually accommodate most common food intolerances and preferences. However, if you have a severe allergy, especially to something difficult to avoid in India, like gluten, please let us know in advance.
We’ll talk it through together and see if the local conditions and food options can meet your needs safely. Your wellbeing is our priority, and we want to make sure you can enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

This experience is designed for adults and teenagers who are comfortable with trekking, altitude, and simple living conditions. If you’re considering coming with a child, please contact us so we can assess together whether the route and pace are suitable.

You won’t find reliable Wi-Fi in most mountain areas, but staying connected is still possible. When you arrive in India, you can buy a local SIM card, in Rishikesh we’ll show you exactly where to get one.
With this SIM you’ll have mobile data for the entire trip except during the trekking days, where there is no phone signal or internet at all. It’s the perfect moment to disconnect and enjoy the mountains fully.

Yes, it’s possible. At high altitude you may feel symptoms like headache, tiredness or light dizziness. That’s why we follow a slow, progressive acclimatisation plan and monitor the group every day. If you notice any discomfort, you must let us know immediately — early communication keeps the whole team safe.

No problem, it can happen. Your safety always comes first. If you feel unwell or unable to continue, we’ll stop, evaluate the situation and decide the safest plan together. Depending on where we are, this may mean resting, descending to a lower point or adjusting the itinerary. You’ll never be left alone, and we’ll prioritize your well-being at every moment.

You’ll enjoy fresh, homemade meals, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian depending on your preferences. Typical Himalayan dishes include rice, lentils, vegetable curry, chapati, eggs, pasta, porridge, and seasonal vegetables. We ensure meals are nutritious and safe for trekking.

Absolutely. Many solo travellers choose this trek. You’ll be walking as part of a guided group, so you’ll never actually be alone, and it’s a wonderful way to meet like-minded people.

Yes, you will be in a supportive environment from the moment you arrive. Many women trek with us, and our team is trained to ensure respectful, safe, and comfortable dynamics. You will never be left alone on the trail unless you request it, and every member of our staff understands the importance of creating a trustworthy and caring atmosphere.

We believe in responsible and fair tourism.
When you join this trek, your payment supports not only your experience, but also the people who make it possible.
A large part of the cost goes directly to the local team: guides, porters, cooks, drivers, and the families who host us in their homestays. We pay fair salaries, never the low or exploitative rates that unfortunately still exist in some trekking circuits. When the team is valued, respected, and well paid, they work with joy, safety, and dignity. And this creates a better experience for everyone.
Your contribution also covers high-quality food during the trek, camping equipment, logistics, transportation, and all the local permits. Nothing is rushed, nothing is cut down to lower the price. We prefer to maintain high standards and ensure that the impact of our presence in the Himalayas is positive for the communities who live here.
By choosing this trek, you’re supporting local livelihoods and helping preserve a sustainable way of exploring the mountains, with respect, fairness, and heart.

We work exclusively with local families, buy ingredients from village farmers, stay in homestays, and hire staff from the region. By trekking with us, you help strengthen the economy of remote Himalayan villages while keeping the cultural traditions alive.
