Day 1: Drive from Dehradun to Sankri (1,950 m)
The journey begins with a scenic drive from Dehradun to Sankri, a remote Himalayan village located 197 kilometers away. The 9–10 hour drive passes through the charming hill station of Mussoorie and the popular Kempty Falls, gradually transitioning into dense pine forests and the serene Yamuna valley. The final stretch of the route winds through the Govind National Park, offering glimpses of rich biodiversity and mountain streams. By evening, you’ll arrive in Sankri—nestled amidst verdant hills and known for its breathtaking views of Swargarohini peaks. After checking into a guesthouse, you can relax and explore the peaceful surroundings.

Day 2: Sankri to Dhatmeer (Drive), Trek to Pauni Garaat
After breakfast, a short drive takes you to Dhatmeer—a picturesque village surrounded by lush valleys. From here, the trek begins as you make your way through forests filled with chirping birds and the soothing sound of the Supin River. The trail is gentle and scenic, gradually leading you deeper into the wilderness. By late afternoon, you’ll reach Pauni Garaat—your riverside campsite for the night. Settle into your tents under a starlit sky, surrounded by the tranquility of nature.

Day 3: Trek from Pauni Garaat (3,024 m) to Har Ki Dun / Boslo Camp (3,430 m)
Today’s trail is filled with beauty as you ascend toward Har Ki Dun valley. The route takes you past vibrant wildflowers, open meadows, and thick woodlands, all the while accompanied by glimpses of snow-covered peaks. With every step, the grandeur of the Garhwal Himalayas becomes more evident. By afternoon, you’ll arrive at the Har Ki Dun base camp or Boslo, nestled in a breathtaking bowl-shaped valley. Set up camp and take in the serene alpine views as the golden light of dusk kisses the towering mountains.

Day 4: Explore Har Ki Dun Summit (3,566 m) and Morinda Tal (3,925 m), return to camp
This day marks the highlight of the trek. Starting early, you’ll ascend to the Har Ki Dun summit for panoramic views of majestic peaks including Swargarohini, Black Peak, and Hata Peak. After soaking in the views, continue your hike to the serene Morinda Tal—an alpine lake cradled by rugged mountains. The setting is nothing short of magical, perfect for photography or quiet reflection. After spending some time at the lake, retrace your steps back to the Har Ki Dun camp for another night under the stars.

Day 5: Trek from Har Ki Dun to Pauni Garaat via Osla Village
Bid farewell to the Har Ki Dun valley and begin your descent to Pauni Garaat. Along the way, you’ll pass through Osla, a charming Himalayan village known for its traditional wooden houses and the ancient Someshwar Temple, rich in local legend. Interact with the warm villagers and soak in the rustic lifestyle before continuing down to your familiar campsite at Pauni Garaat. It’s a shorter, relaxed day that allows you to enjoy the cultural flavors of the region.

Day 6: Trek to Dhatmeer, Drive back to Sankri
On the penultimate day, retrace the forest trail from Pauni Garaat back to Dhatmeer, where vehicles will be waiting to drive you to Sankri. It’s a reflective day—one to absorb the quiet beauty around you and relive the highlights of your journey. Once in Sankri, you can explore the local market, sample local cuisine, and spend your final night in the mountains in comfort.

Day 7: Drive from Sankri to Dehradun

Measures Taken by Parvat Exploration to Ensure the Security of Trekkers

At Parvat Exploration, trekking isn’t just an adventure – it’s a transformative journey into the heart of the Himalayas. But with every adventure comes the responsibility of ensuring your well-being. Backed by a highly qualified team, local expertise, and global safety standards, we take every measure possible to prioritize your safety.

🧗‍♂️ Fitness Evaluation & Trek Readiness

High-altitude treks demand physical endurance and mental resilience. Before confirming your participation in any of our treks, we assess your fitness to minimize risk.

• Body Mass Index (BMI) Check: Trekkers are evaluated to ensure a healthy BMI range suited for high-altitude exertion.

• Fitness Declarations: Participants are required to submit fitness proof or undergo an assessment if needed.

• Acclimatization Protocols: Every itinerary includes rest days specifically for acclimatization to reduce the risk of AMS.

🩺 Health Monitoring on Trail

Throughout the journey, your health is monitored regularly by our trained trek leaders:

• Vital Checks: Daily monitoring of oxygen levels, pulse rate, and blood pressure.

• Health Cards: Each trekker’s vitals are documented and can be reviewed at the end of the trek.

• Immediate Response: Any early symptoms of AMS or other altitude-related issues are immediately addressed.

💊 Medical Safety Measures

Parvat Exploration is prepared with a comprehensive medical kit on all high-altitude treks. Our kits are equipped with:

Our trek leaders are AMC-qualified (Advanced Mountaineering Course) and trained in Wilderness First Aid.

⛺ World-Class Trekking Equipment

Recognizing AMS Symptoms:

• Headache, nausea, dizziness

• Difficulty sleeping or breathing

🏔️ Pre-Trek Preparations | Parvat Exploration

At Parvat Exploration, we believe that trekking is more than just a journey through mountains — it’s a journey within. While the scenic beauty and untouched trails offer unforgettable memories, they also demand a fair share of physical endurance and mental resilience. It’s not just about being fit — it’s about being ready.

Whether you’re taking your first step on a trail or are a seasoned trekker preparing for a high-altitude adventure, here’s how to get trek-ready, the Parvat way.

🫀 Prerequisites of Trekking

1. Cardiovascular Endurance & Stamina

High-altitude treks test your lungs more than your legs. Building cardio endurance is non-negotiable. Jogging, swimming, cycling, or brisk walking — choose your style but stay consistent. Make it a goal-driven journey, just like your trek.

Progressive Stamina Plan:

• 🎯 Start with completing 5 km in 35 minutes or less

• 🏃‍♂️ Push further to 5 km in under 30 minutes

• 🏁 Before your trek, aim to finish 10 km in 60 minutes or less

Doing this 4-5 times a week, at least 2 months before your trek, can make a massive difference.

💪 Strength Training

Most Himalayan trails are a combination of ascents, descents, and flat stretches — think of it as climbing an eternal staircase. Building leg strength is crucial to manage these elevations while carrying a loaded backpack.

Recommended Routine:

• Squats – Begin with 3 sets of 8 reps, aim to increase to 3 sets of 15 reps

• Add lunges, step-ups, and planks to your routine for better balance and core strength

Strong legs = less fatigue = more views to soak in. 🏞️

🤸‍♂️ Flexibility

Trekking involves unpredictable terrains and movements — hopping over rocks, ducking under branches, and stretching across ledges. Without flexibility, even the smallest action can feel like a strain.

Daily Stretching Essentials:

• Hamstrings

• Quadriceps

• Hip Flexors

• Lower Back

• Shoulders

Just 15–20 minutes of stretching each day can help relax muscles, improve posture, and prevent cramps or stiffness during the trek.

❤️‍🔥 Cardiovascular + Speed Endurance Mix

This is where most of your training time should go. A perfect mix of speed and endurance helps your heart adapt to thin air and long-distance trekking.

Sample Routine:

• 🏃 Start with 5 km in 45 mins

• Gradually progress to 7 km in 45 mins

• Aim for 10 km in 80–90 mins without breaks

The trick is consistency — every week counts.

🏋️ Back & Core Strength

A Himalayan backpack may only weigh 6–10 kg, but it feels heavier the higher you go. Building core strength and shoulder stability helps you carry that weight with ease.

Try these:

• Planks (front & side)

• Shoulder shrugs

• Deadlifts (light-weighted)

• Back extensions

Training your core will help you maintain posture and prevent lower back strain.

🧘 Mental Preparation

Even the strongest trekker may be tested by sudden weather changes or tough climbs. That’s where mental strength takes the lead.

At Parvat Exploration, we encourage practicing:

• Breathing Exercises (Pranayama)

• Meditation (10–15 mins daily)

• Mindful Silence / Nature Walks

Mental calmness boosts your decision-making ability and allows you to be present — to feel every whisper of the wind, every crunch of gravel beneath your boots.

🔚 Final Word from Parvat Exploration

The Himalayas are humbling. They test and teach. Preparation is your way of respecting the mountain. Start early, stay regular, and trek mindfully.

Because out there, it’s just you, the trail, and the mountain calling.
