Trek Highlights

Spend five days walking a classic Garhwal route that links oak forest, high meadows, and the stone shrine of Rudranath at 3 550 m.

The trek starts with a road journey from Haridwar to the Saggar, then climbs through rhododendron woods to the open grass of Panar Bugyal. A sunrise push over Pitra Dhar ridge gives your first clear look at Hathi Parvat and Nanda Ghunti. A gentle traverse brings you to Rudranath Temple, set in a natural rock recess. After darshan and a tea break you return to Panar for a second night under the stars, descend to Saggar, and finish with a relaxed drive to Chopta and back to Haridwar.

The 34 km trail is moderate and well marked, meals are vegetarian, and tents or lodges are ready at each halt. Bring good trekking shoes, two warm layers, and a photo ID; we handle permits, guides, transport, and food so you can focus on the trek

Itinerary

Day 1 From Haridwar to Saggar Village drive (220 km, 8-9 hrs)
  • You will meet our friendly guide in Haridwar for a quick overview of the journey ahead.
  • Soon after, the road winds past the holy town of Rishikesh, where the Ganga glimmers between hills.
  • We will pause at Devprayag for breakfast and to admire the meeting point of the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers that form the Ganga.
  • We will stop again at Dhari Devi temple perched above the water, and at Rudraprayag, where two more mountain rivers join.
  • Each stop offers a chance to stretch, sip tea, and snap a few lively pictures before rolling on.
  • After a simple lunch in a roadside dhaba, we reach Ukhimath.
  • From here we follow a narrow hill track to Saggar village and the nearby settlement that marks the start of tomorrow’s walk.
  • Upon arrival, you will settle into a cozy stay, with clean rooms and all the basic necessities.
  • A hot veg meal is served fresh from the kitchen, the perfect finish to a day filled with river views and winding roads.
Day 2 From Saggar to Panar Bugyal trek (12 km, 6-7 hrs)
  • Wake to a steaming cup of tea and a filling village breakfast that warms you against the crisp hill air.
  • Shoulders light with daypacks, you step straight onto the forest trail.
  • A steady climb winds up through oak and blooming rhododendron.
  • In two hours trek you reach Lyuti Bugyal, the first wide meadow, its grass bright and springy underfoot.
  • Find a sunny rock, unpack lunch, and watch clouds drift like slow boats.
  • If the weather turns rough or your legs feel tired, tents can be set here beside grazing ponies.
  • If spirits are high, we will continue another two kilometres along a gentle rise to the bigger pasture of Panar Bugyal.
  • By late afternoon the crew sets up tents facing a sweep of white peaks.
  • Hot chai and crispy snacks arrive just as the sky shifts to pink, lighting Nanda Devi in soft fire.
  • A simple hot dinner follows, and early lights-out lets you drift off under a dome of glittering stars.
Day 3 From Panar Bugyal to Rudranath Temple, & Return to Panar Bugyal (16 km round, 7-8 hrs)
  • Wake before dawn, zip up daypacks, strap on headlamps, and step into the hush of sleeping meadows.
  • Stars still sparkle overhead as you trek toward Pitra Dhar.
  • Our each step hums with cold mountain air that smells of pine and frost.
  • As dawn breaks, the ridge turns gold and Hathi Parvat and Nanda Ghunti lift their white crowns above thin clouds.
  • Following the open ridge, you strek toward the tiny shrine at Panch Ganga where five clear streams sing across the grass.
  • A simple rise carries the group to the stone flags of Rudranath Temple.
  • Offer prayers, ring the brass bell, then warm your hands around bonfire.
  • After soaking in the calm, begin the return walk, tracing your own footprints back across the ridgeline under a wide blue sky.
  • By late afternoon you drop into Panar camp where bright tents wait in slanting light.
  • A hot dinner bubbles on the stove, soft talk circles around, and a second night in the high pasture completes a long but rich day.
Day 4 From Panar Bugyal to Saggar trek, and then Chopta drive (12 km trek + 30 km drive)
  • After breakfast you will descend the same forest trail to Saggar, reaching the road-head by early afternoon.

  • A waiting vehicle will drive you to Chopta in about an hour; en-route you may stop for roadside maggi and tea.

  • Then we’ll check-in to insulated Swiss tents and then enjoy a warm dinner.

Day 5 From Chopta to Haridwar drive (190 km, 7–8 h)
  • Breakfast will be in the morning and then departure from Chopta will follow.
  • We’ll have a lunch halt during our return journey.

  • Then we will aim to drop you at Haridwar railway station or airport shuttle stand.

  • We really look forward to start this journey with you. So pack your bags and come join us!
