Itinerary

  • Early in the morning, we will depart for Lohajung. Travelling through the Himalayan roads will be a mesmerizing experience for you. In the evening, we will arrive in Lohajung and check into the guesthouse. Lohajung serves as the base for the Brahmatal Trek. We will have plenty of time to rest and prepare ourselves for the trek.
  • Post Breakfast, we will begin our trek from Lohajung. Hiking through rhododendron and oak forests we will reach to the Gujreni where will set our camp. Gujreni is a picturesque campsite surrounded by oak trees, rhododendrons, and wildlife. The trail enters thick oak forests with glimpses of Mt. Trishul. Khopdalia, a small dried lake, is reached after an hour and a half through the forest.
  • Bekaltal, just above Khopdalia, is a ten-minute trek away. It’s encircled by dense oak trees, and its brown waters indicate high dissolved organic matter. Brown lakes like this are often light-limited and may be acidic with limited aquatic life.
  • Today’s trek is a relatively short one, commencing at the campsite and heading southwest. Shortly after starting, you’ll cross a stream, and then the trail begins a steep ascent through the captivating Oak and Rhododendron forest. On your left, a ridge reveals the valley below, while Bekaltal is on your immediate right. As you continue the climb, Rhododendron trees dominate the scenery in the first half of the trail, gradually giving way to Oak trees. After about an hour of trekking through this stunning forested section, you’ll reach the tree line and enter the meadows. Here, you’ll be treated to a breathtaking panoramic view of Mt. Trishul and Mt. Nanda Ghunti, along with their surrounding ranges. At the edge of the meadows, you’ll find a ridge that serves as your Tilandi campsite
  • The day’s trek leads you along a ridge, with the treeline shifting as you ascend and descend. Rhododendron and Oak trees dominate the landscape. As you continue along the ridge, you’ll be greeted by majestic mountains and sweeping valleys, with layers of mountain ranges unfolding before you, creating an unmatched sense of openness. Following the right trail from Jhandi Top, you’ll ascend another mountain ridge to reach the trek’s highest point, Brahmatal Top at 12,250 ft, where you can relish the awe-inspiring vistas. Descending gradually, you’ll reach the stunning Brahmatal Lake, often with a captivating reflection of the night sky if it’s not frozen. The Brahmatal campsite, situated at 12,250 ft, is just 500 meters to the left of the lake on the slope, offering a perfect vantage point for witnessing a mesmerizing sunset.
  • After breakfast, start descending from Brahmatal Lake towards Lohajung. The trail is relatively open with sparse vegetation until you reach Jhandi Top, where you’ll have occasional mountain views during your ascent. From Jhandi Top, take the left trail for your descent to Lohajung. Initially, you’ll pass through an open area, losing sight of the mountains. After about a kilometre, you’ll re-enter the treeline, now surrounded by Oak trees. Khorurai, a clearing named after oaks, makes for a good rest spot and a potential campsite if you want to extend your trek. After another 1.3 kilometres, you’ll rejoin the main trail, descending through a Rhododendron forest. Follow the well-maintained path connecting mountain villages to Lohajung, crossing two streams along the way. About an hour from the start, you’ll reach Shepherd huts, locally known as ‘chawni,’ used by villagers and shepherds to shelter their livestock. Continue following the man-made trail, connecting these mountain villages to Lohajung. At Lohajung we will stay in a guest house.
  • Today, we will greet the rising Sun and have an early breakfast. Going back home is always a bittersweet moment, but the journey is made easier by taking the same picturesque road back to Dehradun. As we leave behind the dense pine forests and descend towards the city, the landscape slowly changes and opens up into wider roads. Finally, we will arrive in Dehradun in the evening.
