One of the least trekked areas in the Himalayas and yet one the most picturesque. Here you are in the heart of the Himalayan wilderness surrounded by the biggest peaks - Nanda Devi (7848 m), Nandakot (6861m), and Trishul (7120 m). The trail passes through pristine villages with strong local culture and ancient temples. These villages are rich in heritage from the Indo- Tibetan trade route and particularly the two villages of Gogina and Namik. At time we stay we the local people in their homes. The trail generally follows the Ramganga River through deep forests and Rolling Meadows with eternal Himalayas in constant view.
