2025 Uttarkashi Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#glamping There is a famous quotes out there-"The best view always comes after the hardest climb." And this place proves this quote. We went there on last week of December to see the 1st sunrise of 2022 from the peak and to reach the peak we struggled a lot. In -15 to -20°C it's really tough to manage everything but once you reach the peak you will feel all the pain really worth for what you get there. It's not only about the views what u get..it's about all the challenges u got there and how you tackle...it's about you who thinks I can't climb 12500ft in snow and finally achieve at the end...it's about pushing yourself. In winter kedarkantha is a wonderland ❄️ full of snow everywhere.#campingglamping #glamping#tripblazers#urbanexplorer#mytripvlog

What could be the most exciting thing of hiking during summer ? I would say going to a cold place and get to see some snowy 🏔️ mountains. Along with that if you get a chance to see some vibrant base camp sites 🎪 why not !! After landing on Dehradun, we took a car straight to Sankri (a quite long journey though) and reached the starting point of our hike. With all the hiking materials check list being ticked and confirmed; our journey started 🥾 hiking towards the Kedarkantha base camp site which took around 4 hours to reach. Here you can see so amazing vibrant tents 🏕 raised amidst the white snow; that gives a complete festive mood. We had a fun evening party and then continued our journey to the summit the next day. This is one of the most beautiful base camp sites I've been part of. Totally recommend 💯 everyone to sign up with any group tour, and enjoy these snow. #dehradun #hikefreak #summervacation#hikingtrails

This is a coin-flipping decision reflecting how my intuition aligns with the consciousness of the universe. After my yoga teacher training in India, the teacher asked me if I wanted to climb the Himalaya mountain. My flight was originally in the south, and to be honest, my body was quite exhausted from the training, so I was indecisive. However, deep down I really wanted to join this trip to the north and felt like the universe would lead me to Himalaya. I shouted, “Flip the coin!” Within a second, I was jumping cheerfully and shouting, “I’m gonna go to Himalaya!!!” 🗓️Itinerary Scheduling 🏔️Day 1: Take a bus to Agoda, begin the hike, and reach Dodital Lake in the evening, where the camping site is. ⛄️Day 2: Pooja at the Shri Ganesh Temple in the morning. Hike up north to see the snow! Return back for nice dinner. Every day in the morning, the Ganesha temple will perform chanting. I like to go there and receive my blessing and meditate by the river in the morning. 🥰Day 3: Return to Agoda. Enjoy the nice homestay and gathering with friends. 🏡🏕️Accomodation 🏡 Bharat Homestay (The Native Himalayan) in the village of Agoda They provide cozy rooms and nutritional meals to prepare us with the energy for our trekking. Their food is all locally grown in the Himalaya mountains. 📍 RFWM+47R, Dodital Trek, Aghora, Barahat Range, Uttarakhand 249193, India 🏕️Tent at Dodital lake There are many hikers and hiking groups that camp there.

In the day time, especially during hiking, you may want to wear T-shirts and shorts. However, in there night time, the temperature can drop to 3 degrees Celsius, so please prepare warm clothes with you. For my 3-day hike, I wear the same clothes every day because of my inability of carrying heavy weights🤣 Clothes I brought: T-shirt*1 Long sleeve shirts *2 Down jacket*1 Wool hat*1 Scarf*1 Pants*2 (a thicker one for night) 💰Average Price per Person: $285 USD I joined a group organized by Bhagirathi Outdoor Association This is my first time doing a hike more than 1 day, let alone hiking in Himalaya! However, I made it! If I can do it, you can definitely do it! Dodital trek is considered an easier trek in the Himalaya region.

After my yoga teacher training in India, my teacher invited me to join his Dodital trek in the Himalaya, which I will share in my next post. After the trek, I had a great time in Uttarkashi, India. I experienced water activities, such as kayaking, speedboat, and swimming in the Ganga! I went to the market and the temple and experienced the most authentic life of the locals. Here I will share the cost-efficient way of traveling in Uttarkashi and my life in Uttarkashi🏔️ 🚐🚞✈️Transportation From Rishikesh to Uttarkashi: The main transportation there is bus, which takes place at the main market there. I took a 6-hour bus from Rishikesh to Uttarkashi. The price is around 400 rupees. From Uttarkashi to Delhi: My flight back home is in Delhi. Since I really want to experience taking a train in India, I chose the way that took the longest time to get there. However, it’s the cheapest and most fun. First, take a bus from Uttarkashi to Hardiwar (400 rupees, 6 hours) Then, take a train from Hardiwar to Delhi (100 rupees, 6 hours, sleeper class without seat; you can choose a higher price for the seat, and there are different classes of the train) 📍Sites to visit - Shree Kashi Vishwanath Temple - Shakti Temple - Hanuman Temple These three are all in the same areas. You can get around by walking. If you are interested in Hindu mythology and religion, going to the temple will always bring you joy and good energy. - Kaleshwar Mahadev Temple It is a smaller temple residing in a more tranquil place. Along the way there, you can see chapati seeds growing, which makes beautiful views. - Uttarkashi Main Market This is where the locals gather. You can find all kinds of Indian cuisine here. There are stores that sell Indian traditional attires and beautiful sarees. A temple and shiva statue is beside the Ganga River at the market. 🌊🚣Water sports at Cafe on the Waves They not only provide all kinds of food from Indian meal to western food but also have water sports, like kayaking, speedboats, and so forth. The price is so affordable only 200 rupees. You can go for the water sports first at the Ganga and enjoy their amazing food afterwards. 📍Cafe on the waves, Joshiyara, Barahat Range, Uttarakhand 249193, India 🕰️Business Hours: 8a.m.~10p.m. 🏡Accommodation The Highlight Stay. They have the best view of the mountains and river. The staff there are really friendly and provide high-quality service. 📍PCMH+423, Uttarkashi, Barahat Range, Uttarakhand 249193, India I hope you enjoy this beautiful place on earth. All the people I met here are so kind and have pure souls. I really feel like I am living my best life here in Uttarkashi, and I will definitely come back again to meet the friends I made here.

Shocked🤭Indian hotel actually ranked first in the world 🤔The current public opinion in India, the "dirty, messy, poor, poor" environment and the bizarre social events have almost become the solid personality of this country. 😅 But what everyone doesn’t know is that India has a huge gap between the rich and the poor. 🤔 Let’s take a look at it from the following. The colonial era of the British Empire brought with it the image of the royal family and left behind gold everywhere; the Aryans crossed the Ganges River and drew a line between nobility and poverty with the standard of civilization. To feel the luxury of India, one must stand on the top of the pyramid. 🦶🦶 India is polarized, and the luxurious palace hotels are enough to show how generous India is! 🌷🌷🌷 In this year's latest T+L Global Top 100 Hotels public vote, Oberoi Rajvilas in Jaipur, India won the top spot. 🏨🏨 This traditional Rajasthani castle-style hotel in the form of a palace + tent 🏨 has carefully restored a 280-year-old Shiva temple and a Rajasthani Haveli (mansion), continuing the luxurious craftsmanship of the hunting camps of the princes and nobles. In the 32-acre garden 🌴 and the pool pavilions, time and space seem to be able to switch infinitely. ✨✨ But this is not a one-shot success. It has won numerous awards since its opening and has never been off the list. 🌻It is well deserved to be at the top! ✌🏻 Oberoi's Udaivilas branch in Udaipur has also won this honor. 🌴The former summer palace of the Indian king now floats on Lake Pichola. You can only reach this hidden paradise by taking a special boat 🚤. 🌵It has also been selected as the world's No. 1 luxury hotel countless times. It has to be said that in addition to the astonishing hotel hardware, Indian hotels are also famous for their ultimate service, 🤗 allowing you to enjoy the distinguished treatment like a royal family in every move. ☺️ Perhaps it is because of the colonial history and the hierarchy that are deeply rooted in our bones. This innate sense of "service belief" is quite unique! 🍁🍁 🍀The three biggest luxury hotels in India are: Taj palace, Oberio palace, Leela Palace🏨🏨🏨 🥰When you go to India, you may want to experience these three palace hotels! 😅It will definitely make you look at India with new eyes!

The Kedarkantha trek is undoubtedly one of the best winter treks in India. Organized by Trek the Himalayas, the journey was a perfect blend of adventure and serenity. Starting from the snow-covered trail at Sankri, every step offered mesmerizing views of snow-capped peaks and dense pine forests. The highlight was summiting Kedarkantha at 12,500 feet, where the 360-degree panorama of Himalayan ranges was breathtaking. We camped in cozy tents under the star-lit sky, and the team from Trek the Himalayas ensured that everything was seamless—from warm meals to expert guidance. It was an unforgettable experience!

The trekking to #Dodital is easy but the trail gets moderate if you trek towards Darwa Pass. A wide range of imposing Himalayan ranges can be seen from Darwa Top. Dodital is considered one of the most beautiful lakes of India and it is extremely popular with nature lovers and trekking enthusiasts. #campingglamping #mytripvlog#couplestrip#2023travelwish #trekking #hiking
