6 Day Auli Tour

Altitude :- 7,650 ft
Drive Time :- 10 Hrs
Lohajung is the base camp for Brahmatal trek, for which we pick you up from Dehradun/Rishikesh at 6AM. Dehradun/Rishikesh is well connected with Delhi and Dehradun via train, buses and taxis. It will be a 10 hours drive through the beautiful hill station of Nainital - the city of lakes. The drive is along the course of Kosi River which later gives way to Pindar River thereafter, alongside a spectacle of snow capped mountains. Most of the drive is in the beautiful serpentine roads of Kumaon before entering Garhwal and not before passing through some of the beautiful villages of this region. The last point to buy any provisions enroute is Dewal. There is good connectivity of phone and internet along with ATMs. Some last minute shopping can be done here before heading towards the final journey for the day. The gain is considerable from Dewal to Lohajung through very narrow and curvy roads. It will mostly be foggy or rainy along with cold weather and certainly marks the true beginning of wilderness. You reach Lohajung, our base camp – a little hamlet in Chamoli district in Garhwal Himalayas. On arrival at Lohajung, check in to a guest house or lodge for overnight stay. (Food during the transit fromDehradun/Haridwarto Lohajung is not a part of the trek. Please stop over at many of the Himalayan Dhabas to relish local cuisine enroute).

Trek begins from Lohajung post breakfast, it will be a gradual ascend through the nearby villages until you are in the middle of the forest. The trail is serpentine with zig-zag paths throughout making it easier to climb. There are a few villages enroute where the trekkers can refill their water bottles. Also, there are many water streams flowing on the trail and these springs can be used for stocking water. Soon, we will be crossing a confluence of 2 mountain rivers Kali and Pindari in the splendid green Kali Valley. The next water point available is at a stream which we will be crossing via a notable wooden bridge which also acts as a landmark for the trekkers, this is at around 8500 ft. It is approximately 1 hour hike to reach our campsite from here. At Bekaltal, we will be served hot lunch at the campsite. Bekaltal lake is a 15 minutes walk from our campsite is surrounded by Oak trees and can be seen in semi froze

The start of the trek will be a steep ascend through the Oak and Rhododendron forest. This section of the forests are one of the densest and it is a nice setting to be walking under the shade of these trees before the sight opens up to the meadows of Telandi. This is certainly one of the most fun and adventurous section of the trek as winters fill these meadows with abundance of snow and the trekkers need to plough their way through it to reach the Brahmatal campsite. The gradual ascend in the meadows will take you to the highest point of the day at 11,500 ft. called Jhandi Top. Expect to see breathtaking views of the mighty Mt Trisul and Mt. Nandaghunti along with other Himalayan ranges in the distance. From here the descend takes you to the BrahmaTal campsite. The campsite is set approximately 500 meters from the lake. There are no water sources available today so it is necessary to carry sufficient water to last till the arrival at the campsite. Brahmatal lake is only 500 meters away from the campsite.

Being the Summit day, expect an early start. We start our walk through the magical Oak and Rhododendron forests all the way until Brahmatal lake. On a bright sunny day you with recall your science lectures about reflection and refraction due to the change in colours when the sun changes its angles. After walking for a while and crossing the meadow which acts as pseudo summits, the final climb towards the pass begins. As soon as you reach the top you will be greeted with a magnificent view of Mt. Trishul, Mt. Nanda Ghunti, Neelkantha, Chaukhamba, Maitoli, Mt Apy to name a few. Spend some time here and accept the fact that you are in real witnessing all of these and of course click some amazing photos for your collection. 180 degrees of Himalayan ranges will be visible from here. We descend our way back to the brahmatal Campsite for hot lunch after a successful Summit. Enjoy the evening chills for one last time at the Brahmatal Camp and get mesmerized by the sunset. Spend the rest of the evening talking about the grand adventure with all the trek mates and create memories for a lastime.

Distance: 13 KMs.
Time: 7 Hrs This is going to be a long day of descend all the way to the trek base camp of Lohajung. We again climb towards Jhandi Top but from hereon, we take a different route to descend which will meet the oncoming route just before Lohajung. The climb till Jhandi Top is the only ascend on our way today after which the continuous descend starts. Since the descend takes a different route, it is very engaging for the trekkers. Packed lunch will be provided today which we will have in a small clearing in between the jungle before descending further to reach lohajung. Enjoy Hot tea and Snacks on arrival at the basecamp and then retire in your homestay in the comfort of brick and mortar walls.

The taxi would arrive in the morning to drop the trekkers back to Dehradun/Haridwar Railway station to continue with their return journey. It is always a good decision to start early in the mountains as the weather is very unpredictable. Onward journey from Dehradun/Haridwar can be booked post 8 PM.
