High Altitude Trek – Ridge Walk & Himalayan Panorama
The Route of Ronti Saddle Trek passes through the trail of Roopkund. Roopkund comes on the fourth day of this trek. The trek further continues via Ronti Saddle & Channia ghat to end in Sutol. One will experience the best bugyals or meadows of Bedni and Ali, the serene view of Nanda Ghunti and Trishul.
Homkund – a small lake mostly under snow. From Homkund, the trek starts climbing to Ronti Saddle. We will come back to Do Dang and exit via Sutol, trekking through the deep forest cover of Lata Khopri and the villages of Sutol, following the Nandakini River.
If you are an avid adventure seeker, this trek to Ronti Saddle and Roopkund in the Himalayas for nine days will be a perfect fit for you. Located at an elevation of 18,340 feet, these trekking points allow the visitors to marvel at the adorned beauty of Nanda Ghunti (6,309 m), Trishul I (7,120 m), II (6,690 m), III (6,007 m) mountain peaks housed by the Himalayas.
Trek for approximately 78 kilometers has umpteen number of steep paths, hard snowflakes, twists and swirls which together give the trekker an adventurous time. The package includes food, accommodation and transportation during the trip.
Your journey begins with a long but scenic drive from Dehradun to Wan Village. The route takes you through the spiritual town of Rishikesh, the bustling hub of Karnaprayag, and the serene landscapes of Lohajung.
Along the way, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the Alaknanda and Pindar rivers, dense forests, and charming Himalayan villages. As you climb higher towards Wan, the air turns crisp and refreshing.
On arrival at Wan Village (8,200 ft), check into a guesthouse or campsite. After the long drive, relax, enjoy a hearty dinner, and prepare for the adventure ahead.
Stay: Guesthouse/Campsite in Wan Village
After breakfast, begin your trek from Wan Village towards Bedni Bugyal. The trail climbs through dense oak and rhododendron forests, crossing the beautiful Neel Ganga river.
Bedni Bugyal is a vast green meadow beautified by varieties of flowers, offering stunning views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. This is one of the most scenic campsites on the entire trek.
Stay: Camping at Bedni Bugyal
Today you will behold the unbeatable beauty of a wide range of snow-capped Himalayan peaks such as Nanda Ghunti, Trishul, Chaukhamba, Kedardome, and Nilkantha. The trail passes through Pathar Nachauni, which is a short climb away.
Kalu Vinayak Temple is located at the foot of the hill. From there, a gradual descent leads to Bhagwabasa, your campsite for the night.
Stay: Camping at Bhagwabasa (14,150 ft)
Begin climbing to Roopkund, which takes about three hours. The climb is steady, but the last stretch is a steep climb for about an hour. You will then cross Junargali Pass, which requires much more energy as you have to walk up against a steep wall of hard snow.
Use ropes and ice axes to ensure safety. After reaching the top of the pass (over 16,000 ft), enjoy the magnificent view from 5,150 meters above. From there, start descending to Shila Samudra. The descent is sharp for about 2 hours.
Stay: Camping at Shila Samudra (16,930 ft)
Today's route follows the Nandakini River. The gradual climb can be slippery at some points. The campsite at Dodang is marked by a huge boulder forming a natural cave.
Stay: Camping at Dodang (14,400 ft)
Start early today and climb through some sharp ridges to reach Homkund, a small high-altitude glacial lake mostly under snow. Continue from there to conquer another set of steep snowy trails to reach Ronti Saddle.
The initial scrambles and walk over the boulders for about 2 kilometers, then the zig zags through the snowfield will take about 2 hours of steep and strenuous climb from Homkund to reach Ronti Saddle.
From Ronti Saddle, you can witness Ronti Peaks 1, 2, Trishul 1, 2, 3, Nanda Ghunti, and Dronagiri — they look absolutely amazing. Later, descend the same route back to Dodang.
Stay: Camping at Dodang
Today's trek includes a river crossing. Once you are done with the river crossing, it's easy to reach the campsite at Lata Khopri, which is a beautiful campsite nestled deep within the jungle.
Stay: Camping at Lata Khopri (10,140 ft)
The descent down to Sutol will take you through lush green forests. Sutol is a beautiful village with a temple, shops, and a few houses. It's a moderate trek after which you will get to see locals, houses, rivers, bridges, temples, domestic animals, and you can indulge in conversations with the locals.
Stay: Guesthouse/Homestay in Sutol Village
After breakfast, get a drive to Haridwar/Dehradun via the sacred river confluences at Devprayag, Rudraprayag, and Karnaprayag. This scenic drive allows you to reflect on the entire trek, reminiscing the high-altitude lakes, alpine meadows, and Himalayan peaks experienced over the past days.
By evening, you will reach Dehradun, where the trek concludes.
End of Trek. Return with unforgettable memories of the Ronti Saddle and the majestic Himalayas!
