An enchanting hilly spot in Kumaon Hills, Binsar surrounded by the alpine flora, ferns, hanging moss and a wide variety of wild flowers presents one of the most picturesque views of famous peaks such as Nanda Devi, Nanda Kot, Panchchuoli, Kedarnath, Trishuli and Chaukhamba.
The trek starts from Pauri, an enchanting hill station presenting a panoramic view of the Garhwal Himalaya snowy peaks, and on a clear day the sunset is worth seeing from Kondolia, 5 kms. From there on the trek trails through a very rich forest of deodar, silver, fir, pine and oak and Wildlife. In this trek you can look forward to long walking trails amidst the snow clad Himalayan Treks. Enroute the trek, one can offer homage at the great freedom fighter Veer Chander Singh Garhwali’s samadhi, built in the midst of the Dudhatoli Sanctuary at Musa Kota. A perfect winter trek, it offers pure pristine wilderness. The 4 days trek includes sight seeing, hiking and camping.
Apart from the shepherds and a few locals not many people walk this trail. The Binsar temple where one will camp at the end of day 2 is a Shiva Temple, a deity highly revered all across Garhwal and Kumaon. From here on traverse through spectacular forests pretty much untouched by humans. The wide pasturelands of Dudhatoli is the favourite grazing ground for the locals and offers a panoramic view of the snow clad Himalayan Treks on one side and the low mountains on the other.
