Experience the White Hot Adventure!!
Trek through deep snow, through snow laden thick oak forests and across snow fields. The route is an easy trek in summer time, but in winter it can be a challenge. The temperatures will be sub zero. You should have basic fitness, willingness to walk and a strong will power to fight all odds of nature.
Tungnath - Chandrashila trip is planned on a full fledged expedition scale, and professional mountaineering gear is provided to make this a safe and memorable experience. All participants would need to trek with backpacks weighing around 15 kgs, and in snow boots and associated mountaineering gear.
Do not join, if you are unwilling to bear biting cold weather or cannot do some real roughing out. In a nutshell - This is not a pleasure trip!... its a summit.

Day 00
Departure from Delhi by overnight train to Haridwar

The trek goes through thick forest. The ground will be laden with deep snow, and would need effort and grit to cover the required distance.

Jungle walk, with lot of snow. Possibility to see a stream which can be frozen or have a frozen surface. This would be a tiring day.
