Trek, is a trek that takes you half way round Garhwal
from the Bhagirathi Valley to the Alaknanda Valley.
A trip only for those who have done high altitude
treks before; its very mention gives a thrill to
even the most seasoned of climbers. The trek starts
from Gangotri and takes you through Nandavan, the
base of the Bhagirathi peaks, a place that offers
an unparalled view of the Shivling peak. The trail
moves on to Vasukital (4900 m). With towering peaks
all around the lake, its surface shimmers like a pearl
and is the source of the Vasuki Ganga that drains
into the Mandakini. We proceed to cross the Kalindikhal
pass (5968 m), a tough climb from where you feel
that there is little else left to be see. It is
as if you are a part of this majestic setting of
snow peaks. The trail then descends to Arwatal and
to Mana the last village on the Chinese frontier.
The trek fittingly ends at Badrinath with a visit
