The Champawat district of Uttarakhand, India, is home to the stunning and difficult Sunderdhunga trek. The Sunderdhunga Valley, renowned for its pristine beauty and snow-capped hills, inspired the trek's name. The walk begins in the sleepy village of Loharkhet and passes through verdant forests, mountain streams, and lovely meadows. It's the ideal walk for anyone looking for adventure and isolation in the middle of the splendour of nature.
The journey is recognized for its rocky terrain and steep inclines, which raises the bar for difficulty. The Dhakuri pass, which is 2,800 meters above sea level, marks the highest point of the hike. The journey lasts roughly 7-8 days and is about 50 kilometres long. The walk offers the chance to see a vast range of flora and wildlife as it leads you through lush oak, pine, and rhododendron forests. Many mountain streams, waterfalls, and tiny settlements that provide an insight into the native way of life will also be encountered during the walk.
The Panchchuli peaks, a series of five snow-capped peaks that may be seen from various locations throughout the walk, are one of the highlights of the Sunderdhunga trek. The Khati village and Dhakuri are just two of the picturesque campsites you pass through on the hike.
