Itinerary Details
Dehradun to Sankri
Dehradun is the starting point for the Ruinsara Lake trek. The trekkers must arrive before 6:30 a.m. for a breathtaking trip to Sankri, the basecamp. The scenic drive takes you along adventurous Himalayan paths, where you can enjoy an amazing long drive and stop for lunch in the centre.
Sankri is a bustling village in Uttarakashi's Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, located 220 kilometres from Dehradun. Arrive in the evening and check into a hotel that has been pre-booked. Now, in your spare time, go wandering in the enchanting village. Sankri market is a bustling but beautiful location with a few local-owned shops and a few restaurants.
Day - 1
Sankri to Cheludgad via Taluka
You'll take a taxi to Taluka today, and the trek will begin from there. So, get up early, get in your booked car, and enjoy the ride down a scenic path that passes through a lush forest. Taluka is a village with a few apartments, hotels, and shops that provide basic necessities and lodging.
The Ruinsara Lake trek begins here, and the trail promises spectacular views of snow-capped giant peaks along your trip. Now is the time to get started! Pass through the jungle, cross a bridge, and be mesmerised by the Supin River views. Dhatmir village, on the right, comes into view after a continuous trek. Stop for a moment here, then go to a green, broad meadow.
The path now passes through a lush woodland section with a diverse flora before switching to a mix of flat and steep climb.
When you reach the muddy trail after crossing this segment of steep and graded climb, take caution because it can be slippery. The Supin Dam, which flows below, can now be seen once more. After that, you'll pass through a thick forest of pines and oaks before being met by amazing lush fields. To get to Cheludgad, what you have to do now is cross a bridge and climb a little higher. It's a lovely campsite with a heart-warming view of the Himalayas. Pitch your tents and spend your time in them.
Day - 2
Cheludgad to Devsu Thach
Start your day early and go on the track. After passing a bridge, look to your right for a wooden bridge across the Supin River. The trail is relatively flat and eventually ascends. After a half-hour walk, you'll arrive at Seema, where you'll find a set of Forest and GMVN guest houses as well as some Dhabas. After that, cross the Supin River via another bridge.
Take the trail that leads down to the Ruinsara Gorge. Enjoy crossing a stream and passing through a landslide-prone field. There is an area with a collection of big boulders when you approach the Ruinsara park. The river is left below; climb up and take one more look at Osla village. Continue hiking for another half hour before you reach the Devsu Thach meadows, which are in full bloom. The path runs through meadows that are covered by forest.
Devsu Thach is 2 kilometres deep, with “The Valley of Gods” and “Har Ki Dun Valley” clearly visible to the left. Hike all the way to the end of these meadows, pitch your tents there, and spend the night in peace.
Day - 3
Devsu Thach to Ruinsara Tal/Lake
The trail then descends steeply to the Ruinsara River below. After 20 minutes of rapid descent, you can reach a wooden bridge that spans the Ruinsara River. Cross it and follow the road into the beautiful Ruinsara gorge.
The trail now consists of a series of levelled and incremental ascents over pasturelands and boulders. Pass through some mountain twists and cautiously cross landslide-prone terrain ahead. It is possible that crossing it would be challenging before you meet a waterfall on the left side. From here, the trail descends before quickly ascending again; you are now in the meadows part, which is covered in scree and snow.
Go on to a wide meadow, where you can enter Untigad campsite in 30 minutes. The path runs across the Ruinsara River, with Untigad terrain on the left side of a bridge. The path leads to Ruinsara Lake, passing through a birch forest and a boulder zone. After about 45 minutes, take a look at the glacial lake below. The Ruinsara Lake is surrounded by meadows, making it an excellent camping spot.
Ruinsara Lake is a freshwater lake situated at the base of KalaNag, also known as Black Mountain, and is considered sacred. From this campsite, you can see the Blackpeak, Swargarohini, and Bandarpoonch ranges.
Day - 4
Exploration Day
Since just an evening is not enough to thoroughly discover the surroundings, a whole day is set aside for exploration. Thanga is located directly across from the campsite and can be reached by crossing a river; this path continues to Bali Pass.
Visit the Swargarohini and Black Peak basecamps and look for a path that leads to the virgin Dhumdhar Kandi Pass.
Day - 5
Ruinsara Tal/Lake to Devsu Thach
Continue down the same route, taking in the breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks and cascading waterfalls. Pass through thick woodland until arriving at Devsu Bugyal after a steep descent.
Get to the last area of meadows, set up your tents, and spend the night there.
Day - 6
Devsu Thach to Sankri via Taluka
It's time to say farewell to the lovely meadows. Continue on the same path through the woods. This is the last day of trekking, so keep an eye out for colourful birds chirping and Langoors swinging from tree to tree.
Taluka village is reached after descending via the forest part. After that, get in the car and drive to Sankri. Freshen up, and if the enthusiasm continues, explore the village to learn more about it, especially the villagers' way of life.
Day - 7
Sankri to Dehradun
Today is your last day, and you'll be returning to Dehradun. The distance is 220 kilometres, which can be reached in 10 hours by taxi.
Prepare yourself early and wish Sankri farewell after breakfast. If one begins their journey early in the morning, they will arrive in Dehradun in the evening.
