Shilt Hut trek and Rakhundi top trek

We are sure you've spent a comfortable night thanks to the care of our trekking staff (all members of our cooperative) and the quality of our camping equipment. From Rolla after a delicious breakfast you continue the path going along with the Tirthan river. Soon you will follow a narrow trail which climbs steeply across the forest.
Try to be as silent as you can since the forest is home to many rare species of birds, especially the colourful Monal pheasant. Get ready with your camera. It happens quite often that troubled because of your presence the Monal start flying to a lower altitude. The mountain slope being very steep if you are lucky you may be able to take a snapshot from above and catch the awesome colors of the Monal’s plumage.
Have your lunch on the way.

You can reach Shilt hut in 3 hours of walk, so take your time. Before Shilt the forest give way to a large meadow. Without the trees the view gets clear and let you discover the Tirthan valley and some very beautiful peaks of more than 5000 m height. After setting up the camp at Shilt, enjoy the campfire and your meal under the stars!

In case your adventure is a 3 day trek you will be going down back to Rolla and then all the way to Gushaini. Because the way back is only descent you can do in one day all the way you climbed in 2 days. End of your trek late afternoon.

In case you have 4 or 5 days you can continue your trek towards Rakhundi top

Don’t miss the beautiful sunrise over the GHNP peaks because of sleep! You won’t forget the view. Observe the birds early morning. The changing colors of the sky are another treat you shouldn’t miss.
On the way to Rakhundi you cross path with a small colourful waterfall and then a typical high altitude bamboo forest. If you don’t have a walking pole offered by us while trekking under our "Everest plan” you can take a dry bamboo stick to help you on the way to Rakhundi . After the bamboo forest the path goes steeply towards a ridge that leads to Rakhundi.

From Rakhundi top you have a 360° view over the Tirthan valley. A stone lies at the top. You will recognize it because of some colourful fabrics that ornate it. The stone shelters the local deity. Take sometime to respectfully greet the deity with your guide. Then feel free to enjoy the stunning feeling of being at the top of a mountain that is a unique panoramic viewpoint. Go down to Shilt via the same way and spend a second night at Shilt.

After your breakfast the camp is packed and you go down to Rolla where you have your lunch by the riverside.

Walk down to Gushaini after your lunch.
