The drive itself is a scenic treat as we pass through Bhimtal, Almora, Bageshwar, Kapkot, Bharadi, and Dhoor, finally reaching Khati Village (2,210m) by evening. Khati is the last motorable village on this trek and has a deep-rooted history of welcoming trekkers and explorers. After settling into a cozy homestay, you’ll get a chance to meet your fellow trekkers over dinner. In the evening, our trek leader will brief the group about the upcoming trek, challenges, and safety tips to ensure a smooth journey ahead.

After an early breakfast at 7:00 AM, we start trekking towards Dwali (2,850m). This 13 km trail is a mix of gradual ascents and long stretches through dense oak and rhododendron forests, with the Pindar River flowing alongside. The trek may feel long, but the fresh mountain air and chirping birds make it an enjoyable walk. We will reach Dwali by 3:00-4:00 PM, where we will check into a guest house for the night. After a hot meal, it’s time to relax and soak in the beauty of the Himalayas.

A relatively shorter trek today! After a relaxed breakfast, we will leave for Phurkiya (3,250m) at 8:00 AM. The trail starts off easy but gets challenging towards the last 2 km, which involves a steep ascent before reaching Phurkiya.By midday, we will arrive at Phurkiya and enjoy a freshly prepared lunch. The rest of the day is for acclimatization, as we are now at a higher altitude. Enjoy the crisp mountain air, stunning landscapes, and the peaceful surroundings before dinner and a good night's rest.

This is the big day! We start early at 5:00 AM to reach Pindari Glacier Zero Point (3,660m) by early afternoon. The 8 km trail is gradual but long, offering mesmerizing views of the mountains. On the way, we will take a short break at the ashram of Shri Swami Shraddha Nand Ji Maharaj, a peaceful spiritual retreat in the high Himalayas. As we approach Zero Point, the mighty Pindari Glacier comes into full view, surrounded by towering peaks like Baljuri (5,922m), Nanda Kot (6,861m), and Panwali Dwar (6,663m). After spending some time at the glacier, we will have our packed lunch before starting the return journey to Phurkiya. We aim to reach back by early evening, followed by dinner and an overnight stay in the guest house.

After breakfast, we begin our descent from Phurkiya to Dwali and then continue back to Khati Village. The 18 km trek will take us through familiar yet still mesmerizing landscapes. We will take a lunch break at Dwali or carry a packed lunch, depending on the group’s pace. By late evening, we reach Khati Village, where we’ll settle into our homestay for one last night in the mountains. A farewell dinner awaits as we celebrate completing the trek together.
 

After breakfast, we say goodbye to the mountains and begin our drive back to Kathgodam.
