As the journey will be short, you will have ample time to enjoy and grasp the en-route surroundings. On this route from Barkot to Hanuman Chatti, you will pass through various hamlets of Garhwal, which showcase the Pahadi Culture the most.
After you reach the Hanuman Chatti, then the main adventure will begin. Let me tell you, Hanuman Chatti is the place where the local river Hanuman Ganga merges with the Holy River Yamuna. This is one of the religious significance of Hanuman Chatti. Besides this, there is a route of Yamunotri Dham from Hanuman Chatti onwards, but this route is distinct from Gulabi Kantha Trek.
Hanuman Chatti to Kandola Campsite
Note: Hanuman Chatti is the last developed town on this route, so you must buy all the necessary things from here and carry enough water.
From Hanuman Chatti, when you begin trekking, you will see the agriculture fields on both sides. After a few minutes of hiking over the trail, you will feel like it’s a completely isolated, serene region. Initially, you will feel fatigued in less intervals, so it’s recommended to take small breaks while hiking.
Passing through the fields, forests and a small Kali Mata Temple, after 3 hours of trekking, you will reach a hamlet known as Nisni. This is a small village that falls on the route of the Gulabi Kantha trek. Here, you will see the Garhwali culture infused in every activity like their lifestyle, accent, attire, food, and so on.
After crossing this village, again you will see the agriculture fields on both sides of the trail. In some portions, there will be terrace farming also. From here onwards, the elevation will increase, and you will feel tired more often. As the elevation increases, you will see the dense vegetation on both sides of the trail.
After hiking on this trail for approximately 2-3 more hours, you will reach today’s stop at Kandola Campsite. There will be a vast ground suitable for mass camping. From this Kandola campsite, you will get views of tall, smooth-trunk trees everywhere, a few chhani, and the valley from the edges. Additionally, here, you will see the goosebumps-giving sunset. In a nutshell, you will take a night break here at this campsite. At night, you will stay in camps and will enjoy the camping night traditions like bonfire, group dance and a lot of fun.

On Day 3 of Gulabi Kantha Trek, you will trek to Seema Thatch, which is also a campsite close to the final summit. In the morning, watch the sunrise from Kandola and then begin hiking for your next stop. From Kandola to Seema Thatch, it’s about a 5.5 Km distance that you can cover in 6 to 7 hours. From here, there will be comparatively more elevated ridges and trails.
Along with enjoying the en-route flora of nature, you can observe the unique wildlife and birds at high altitudes. In the last 1 km, the trail is way steeper, so you need to keep yourself energised and passionate for the last 1 km before Seema Thatch. As soon as you arrive at Seema Thatch, what you will get as a reward is the distant yet magnificent view of Bandarpoonch. Along with it, there will be a point known as Jhandi Point in Seema Thatch. Here, you will see our Indian Flag. This all apart, you will spend this night here in camps.

Day 4 will be the final day, which will take you to the final destination, Gulabi Kantha. In the morning, when you begin trekking, it will take hardly 2 hours to reach the summit. But the trail from Seema Thatch onwards is tough and steep. So you must be energised and prepared for this. After hiking over a trail covered with shrubs, and ascending on the steep portion, gradually, you will reach the top of Gulabi Kantha. From the Gulabi Kantha summit, you will get to see a number of peaks including Swargrohini, Black Peak, Draupadi ka Danda and Kedarkantha. You can spend half an hour there on the summit and inhale the mystic beauty of nature.
Returning from Gulabi Kantha to Kandola-
- Distance: 7 Km
- Time Taken: 6-7 hours
Thereafter, it will be a moment to trek down to the Kandola Campsite. From here, the Kandola Campsite will be around 7 Km. Initially, there will be a steep descent, so it will feel hard to hike down.

Distance: 5.5 Km trek & 172 km drive
Time: 2-3 km trek & 5-6 hours drive
On the 5th day of the Gulabi Kantha trek, it will be the last day. So, from Kandola, you will trek down to Hanuman Chatti, and it will take about 4-5 hours. Once you reach there, then we shall take you to Dehradun by van. From Hanuman Chatti to Dehradun, it is about 172 km, so you will reach there after driving for 5-6 hours.

Additionally, the pleasant weather will make you less exhausted while hiking. In the spring season, you might visualise the scarce snow layer on Meadows and trails.

Many people trek in winter, and mostly in this season, they end their trek a few meters before the actual point. Lastly, to witness the Pink beauty of the trek, you have to trek during monsoon season. But, due to rain, the trail is usually slippery, which is generally unsafe.

Considering its terrain, the altitude gain and other significant factors, we categorised Gulabi Kantha as a moderate challenging trek. To complete this trek efficiently, you need to be physically fit as well as prepared. Before going on the trek, you should indulge in a few basic exercises like jogging, running, and jumping jack for one week.
Treks are all about fun, adventure, finding yourself, etc, but only for those who are mentally and physically fit. Because activities like treks, especially a Himalayan trek, challenge you on different levels in unimaginable ways and situations.
Gulabi Kantha trek falls under easy to moderate level trek depending on your chosen time of the year. In summer, spring & autumn, you will find this trek easy.

The trek difficulty dictates your level of fitness and preparations for it. As mentioned above, it can be an easy and easy to moderate level trek so prepare accordingly.
We take acclimatisation seriously and make sure that our trekkers get proper time to acclimatise and rest in between. This is neither a very long trek nor at a higher altitude, so we will only trek for a short number of kilometers every day, giving your body the time it needs.
The good part is that the trail is easy to follow, and the terrain is manageable, even for kids. Facilitated with a proper workout regime you can really take note of the surrounding environment and not waste time in catching your breath.
For summer, spring, and autumn seasons, you can follow an easy-level fitness routine.
For Winter, you have to workout more because of the added difficult factors like cold climate, snow, and fog. The trails will have some snow in the beginning which will be hard in nature and hence slippery too. Moving forward, at the higher level the snow may reach your knee or waist level, and walking on powdery snow takes the test of your balancing skills, stamina level, endurance, and overall strength of your body.
- An easy level and weekend treks require a basic fitness level, where you should focus on building your stamina and strength. Start with walking/running and include a 45-minute to 1-hour workout (cardio + strength training).
