A moderate trek which starts from the Bhagirathi valley, goes up to the lake of Dodital (wrapped in perfect wilderness) to the alpine meadows and crosses over at Darwa Pass (4150 M) to the Yamuna watershed. Traditionally this trek has been continuously used by the Gujjars, the nomadic herdsmen who get their buffaloes to the high meadows every summer and occasionally by the pilgrims/sadhus walking between Gangotri and Yamunotri. This trek is a brilliant summer getaway.

Dodital Lake/Hanuman Chatti Trek

DAYS 1-3

  • Day 1: Dehradun Airport – Kuflon (1550 M)

Fly in to the Jolly Grant Airport by 9AM. Board waiting vehicles to be driven straight to Kuflon Basics, 11 kms from Uttarkashi in the valley of the Assi Ganga. (6-7 hr drive).

  • Day 2: Kuflon – Bevra (2400 M)

Depart for Bevra – the walk is 8 kms (4-5 hrs). Bevra is a camping spot 1.5 kms ahead of Agoda village. A dip in the stream in Bevra is the best way to wash out the first day body aches.

  • Day 3: Bevra – Dodital (3310 M)

After an early morning breakfast, we gradually trek to Dodital (7 hrs), with packed lunch. Rhododendron and Oak trees dot the trek, with occasional Seabuck thorn bushes.

DAYS 4-6

  • Day 4: Dodital – Darwa Pass – Kanasar (3900 M)

The walk to Darwa Pass (4150 M) is about 5 kms (2-3 hrs). The entire walk is an uphill climb. It starts with the climb along the feeder to Dodital breaking into a thick Birch forest opening into the high meadows. The pass offers an amphitheater view of the Bandarpunch range of peaks. The more adventurous ones can go higher up to climb the Darwa Top and the rest can proceed to camp at Kanasar (3900m) below the pass.

  • Day 5: Kansar – Kandoli (2800 M)

Long traverse in the meadow with impressive views of the Bandarpunch range brings one to the beautiful grazing ground of Seema. After having lunch here, we start our descent through the forest to our campsite at Kandoli, which has a few summer houses.

This is possibly the most important decision for you to make, after you have chosen to take on an adventure trip.

An Experienced Team

Our team of guides has years of experience of travel throughout the Indian Himalaya, from running rivers to leading treks – from the barren Zanskar to the tropical rainforest of Arunachal Pradesh. They speak English, have completed graduate school, are current with First Aid and CPR certification and form the most experienced guiding team in the country today.

Value for Money

The prices of our trips provide a high value for money returns. They are priced to keep our standards high and your trip, smooth. Cost usually is a deciding factor for many a trip, but for an adventure trip, the deciding factor should be confidence in your operator.
