Overview
Dhakuri Trek
Dhakuri is one of the most popular destinations for the snow and mountain lovers, the place is covered with the snow in the peak. A short trek from the campsite to Dhakuri-Khal offers even better views of the mountains, especially at sunrise. Treks in Dhakuri can be a wonderful experience which is an antidote to city stress of daily life and memories are cherished lifelong. While trekking one relishes the pure air and the silence of the wilderness and feels the awakening of senses dulled by urban living. As one walks through the vales and dales and past quaint villages, mountains take up strange and wonderful shapes and the beauty of the Himalayas unfolds itself before the visitor. While trekking one can enjoy the exquisite beauty of identifying peaks, mountains, rivers and places around that becomes a good pastime. And whether one can climb the next hilltop becomes more important than anything else in life. At the foot of the Pindari Glacier stands the Chilta Summit, its serene environ is ideal for meditation. The glacier commands a spectacular view of the Himalayan ranges.
Why Dhakuri Old Trek Route Choose
Now with the arrival of the vehicles all the trekkers directly go to Khati Village and start trek to Pindari Glacier. This track route of Dhakuri is now lost somewhere. So we thought of trekking on this track again. Very few trekkers go on this route. If the trekkers go on this route, from March to April this route is blooming with Buransh flowers. With less people going here, one gets to see the beauty of this place. While walking on the route, you will find many beautiful flowers and lots of goats roaming in the Bugyals.
Maa Chilta Devi: Chilta Devi is around 4 km from Dhakuri. From here you can see the peaks of Himalayas and enjoy the Bugyal while walking on the way. Chiltha Mata Temple Top, offering panoramic views of the Pindari and Sunderdhunga ranges, as well as peaks like Nanda Kot, Nanda Devi, Maiktoli, Panwali Dwar,baljuri and Trishul.
