In the Shadow of Nanda Devi
Altitude 5150m, Duration 18 days, Grade T3 (grades)
Background
- In the footsteps of Shipton, Tilman and Lord Curzon
- Mysterious Nanda Devi, India’s highest peak
- Great ridge-top views
Trekking in India’s Garhwal region has always been underrated and less popular than the better known Nepal trekking routes and as such still offers something special for people wanting to get away from the crowds but still experience great views and culture. In spite of development it is still a significant journey simply to reach the mountains with two full days of travelling needed at each end of the trip – an attractive feature for the true traveller. Once in the mountains you climb up through dense forests of oak, pine, rhododendron, fir and deodar cedar, and up the wideopen grassy meadows (bugyals) used as summer grazing grounds by the Garhwali shepherds. From the meadows and ridges views across to many 6000m and 7000m peaks are impressive, and from near the Kuari Pass (4150m) you will be able to see the twin peaks of India’s highest peak, Nanda Devi (7434m).
In the spring snow can still cover some of the higher sections of the trip. Our autumn departures will be run in the reverse direction to enable you to make a side trip to the 4620m JuyriGali pass above the dark Rup Kund Lake for close views of Trisul’s three peaks (7120m) and Nanda Gunti (6309m).
Why not extend your trip and visit Agra, TajMahal or Jaipur (+ 1 to 3 days) Cost: from £170
Prices are exclusive of international flights to Delhi.
