ABOUT THE TREK
Unraveling the Mystique
The Baraadsar lake trek is one of the most difficult treks in North-Western Garhwal Uttarkashi region of Uttarakhand due to its steep climbing nature. It is about 4400 m above sea level & falls between the rupin and supin valleys while being close to the border of two Himalayan states of Uttarakhand & Himachal Pradesh.
A new entry in the trekking grid, it is one of the Unxplord treks of the state & offers a mesmerizing view of picturesque meadows, brown oak and pine forests, massive clearings with breathtaking mountain views, and finally over a ridge that separates the Rupin and Supin valleys with excellent panoramic views. A comparatively difficult trek, this trek requires previous experience and good fitness levels.
