BINSAR  TREK

Description  A walk through the woods is every trekker’s dream and Binsar Trek offers exactly that. Binsar offers a perfect Wildlife adventure trek and a true “Jungle “experience for the brave-hearted. Situated in the Kumaon region in the Himalayas, Binsar Sanctuary is located on the Jhandi Dhar hills at an altitude of approximately 2500 Mts.  The trek is rather easy as it passes through some lush green forests flanked with Ruby red rhodendrons that are in full blossom in the months of March and April. Oak-covered thick dense forest at Binsar is also home to over 200 species of Himalayan birds and mammals including leopard, Himalayan goral, chital, and musk deer amongst many others. The walk through the dense greenery, twittering birds, singing rivulets, and trees dancing to the tune of the Himalayan breeze is indeed a sight to behold.  The total trekking distance is about 22 km beginning at the Binsar Sanctuary and ending at Jageshwar Temple. At Dhaulchina camping site can also enjoy the Majestic Himalayan snowclad Peaks of Nanda Ghunti, Trisul, Nandadevi, Nandadevi East, Chhanguch, Nandakut, and Dangthal. Mrigathuni, Maiktoli.  Our trek proceeds towards Jageshwar Temple as the adventure through Deodar forest continues and the trail leads us to the main temple. The Temple belongs to the 9 – 3rd Century era and is a small Jewel among many other Heritage temples in Northern India juxtaposed around the Himalayas.  Uttarakhand Treks | treks in Uttarakhand | Treks from Dehradun | trekking in Dehradun | Trekking companies in Dehradun | Har Ki  Dun trek | Bali Pass trek | Phulara Ridge Trek | Kedarkantha Trek| Winter Kedarkantha Trek |  Kedarkantha Trek in december |Kedarkantha Trek in January | Winter Dayara Bugyal |Dayara Bugyal in December|Dayara Bugyal trek | Gaumukh Tapovan  trek | Kashmir Great Lakes  trek | Valley of Flowers trek | Nag Tibba Trek | Kuari Pass trek | CHOPTA CHANDRASHILA TREK
