Brief Description
The Gulabi Kantha Trek is one of Uttarakhand’s best-kept secrets, offering a perfect blend of adventure, natural beauty, and spiritual charm. Located in the Garhwal region near Hanuman Chatti, this relatively unexplored trail sits at an altitude of 3,789 meters, giving you a surreal view of Himalayan peaks like Bandarpoonch, Black Peak, and Swargarohini.
The name "Gulabi Kantha" comes from the pinkish hue the valley takes on during sunrise and sunset, especially when wildflowers are in full bloom. This moderate 5-day trek takes you through dense pine and oak forests, alpine meadows, and panoramic ridgelines, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced trekkers looking for offbeat trails.
Whether you're a nature lover, a photography enthusiast, or someone seeking spiritual peace in the lap of the Himalayas — Gulabi Kantha delivers an unforgettable Himalayan experience.
