The first night is spent at the Rangthar meadow.
On this day you will gradually approach the real wild of the Great Himalayan National Park.
Shortly after Rangthar you have a very steep climb to Kauni. Be ready :-)
After the climb you are rewarded with a great view of the Tirthan valley. Have a break !
This is how your Rangthar camp looks like from Kauni.
You will really enjoy your time after Kauni as you go through meadows and forests.
While hiking to Kundri the forest sporadically offers you great views in between 2 oaks.
The ecosystem is dominated by the Golden Oaks which create a very special atmosphere.
You reach Kundri from above and so you initially enjoy the view of the meadow.
Enjoy the bonfire at Kundri which is at an elevation of 3400 m.
Climbing towards Marahni from Kundri. You may have some snow on the way.
It is very exciting to approach Marahni as the view opens and the summit calls.
Looking towards the South you have a great feeling being above so much of forests.
Marahni trek ? In less time, you enjoy a lot of the wilderness.
In case of a 5 day trek you can enjoy the riverside for the last camp and day.
