ITENARY
This is the first day of the trek. You will be picked from the Tourist Reception Center of Srinagar. Our cab will be available at the pickup point. The pickup time is 1 p.m. The cab leaves Srinagar and enters the Budgam District of Kashmir. The Budgam district has famous tourist places Doodpathir, Tosamaidan, and Yusmarg, our campsite. The drive will give you the best highlight of the Kashmir landscape and village life. You will be going via serene villages. The road has on both sides long orchards of apples. Stop during your drive nearby to these villages and orchards. Experience the pristine life and farming of people here. Before reaching Yusmarg, you will go via the famous shrine of Kashmir – Charar-i-Sharief. This shrine receives a lot of devotees all year.
Shortly after the shrine, the drive goes up into the hilly area. You will see many plateaus giving panoramic views. It then proceeds towards the jungle drive and has open meadows in between. The river stream will be flowing towards your left. Once you reach Yusmarg, you will see the lush meadows that blend into the fir and pine jungle. The shimmering river streams cut through it. Yusmarg is famously called The Meadow of Jesus. It is believed that Jesus visited this place. Yusmarg is one of the best hill stations in the country and rests on the bank of the Doodganga River. Our campsite is just near the meadows and in the vicinity of the river stream. You can explore the small local market here and try pony riding which is very much famous here. Spend your night in the camps here.
Yusmarg rests at an altitude of 2,396m and is 47km from Srinagar.
This is our first trekking day. We will leave early morning after the hearty breakfast. Gear yourself with trekking overalls and start trekking in this beautiful valley. The trail first goes over a concrete trail for some kilometers. The trail passes through the middle of the jungle. The fascinating feature of the day is the crossing of three bridges. The bridges in the middle of the jungle are very much alluring. All three bridges are a short distance from each other. Immediately after the third bridge, the trail leads to a beautiful meadow which is like a patch from heaven. There is a shepherd community living here.
Relax and take a short snack break to see the life of shepherd people and their mud and wood houses. From the meadow, you take a right turn and reach your campsite Danizab. The campsite is on flat lush land. Relax and enjoy your evening snacks. The weather here is pleasant, and you can take dinner outside the tents in the open.
The total distance to the campsite is 14km. The altitude of the campsite is 3200m.
On this day, we will again start after a hearty breakfast. The trail starts with an incline. We reach a small plateau that gives a beautiful view of the surroundings. Look back towards the campsite, and you will get a wide view of the valley. The trail then turns towards Rumshi Nallah. Before we reach our campsite, there is a lovely walk-through bush. This bushwalk is long and takes around 4 hours. Immediately after the bushes, the trail turns trickier full of boulders and rocky terrain. Be careful with your steps, as the boulder section will be a bit risky to traverse. Immediately after the boulder section, we will reach close to the Rumshi Nallah which is our campsite. Our campsite is on flat land. Relax and enjoy your evening with a delicious dinner.
The total distance of the day is around 8km, and the altitude of the campsite is 4,100m.
This is the day we spend on acclimatization. This is an important day to gear up and acclimatize your body for the summit push of the next day. You will go to the surroundings of Rumshi Nallah. Enjoy the ever-beautiful valley surrounding you. There will be an altitude gain of 300m on this day and post lunch we will return to our campsite. In the evening, your trek leader will brief you about the next day’s summit. You need to go to bed early as the summit day starts in the early morning.
This is the summit day. We will leave before the break of dawn. After a full breakfast, we will start for the summit. The trail is all ascents. It starts with the boulder section around which you have to be careful. Make sure to tie your laces tightly on ankle-high. After the boulder section, we will reach the base of the Sunset glacier. It is a glacier traverse till the summit.
Our technical team will be guiding you through this glacier traverse. You need to follow the instructions given by the trek leaders sharply. Take a mild pace with steady steps. This traverse to the top is around 4 km. At the top, behold the breathtaking summit feel and the towering peaks which are visible from here. You get a complete panoramic view of the surrounding peaks and valleys. Return to the Rumshi Nallah campsite. Descend is quite riskier at times than an ascend. So be careful when you come down to the campsite.
The highest altitude of the summit is 4,745m.
This is the last day of the trek. You will trek via the same trail and reach Yusmarg and from there you will drive to Srinagar.
Buffer Day: For the summit push, there is an extra buffer day. If the weather remains pleasant and allows us to do the summit on Day 5, we will not be using the buffer day. If the weather turns rough, we will try for the summit push the next day.
