Ranthan Kharak Trek Overview

There are many Himalayan treks, the names of which can be easily found on everyone's tongue. Ask someone if they have heard about Har ki Dun Trek. The answer will be affirmative. Ask if they have heard about Kedarkantha Trek. The answer will be affirmative. Ask if they have heard about Om Parvat Trek. The answer will surely be affirmative. And then ask them if they have heard about the Ranthang Kharak Trek, 'Which one?' they will ask while struggling to correctly pronounce the name of the trek.

When someone thinks about trekking in Uttarakhand, they mostly choose treks starting from Dehradun in the Garhwal Himalayas. Very few know that there are beautiful treks lying there in the Kumaon Himalayas too. One such lesser-known offbeat trek of the Kumaon Himalayas is Ranthang Kharak Trek.

Ranthan Kharak is a trek full of natural beauty. Throughout the trek, you will hike through beautiful dense forests, meadows, 'Kharaks', and ridges. The serenity and beauty that you will be able to experience here on this trek will hardly be found on any other trek.

Ranthang Kharak is a trek with a moderate difficulty level. If you are a first-time trekker, you can embark on this trek. The only condition is that you must have a fit body. You should be able to complete the hike of at least 7-8 km a day. During this trek, you will encounter some steep climbs and steep descents, cross some bridges, walk on the ridges, and camp in meadows from where you will be able to witness the spectacular beauty of the Himalayan mountain range. If the weather remains clear, you will be able to see Panchachuli Peaks, Mt. Dangthal, Mt. Mrigthuni, and many other named and unnamed peaks. Come... Join us on this offbeat and magnificently beautiful Trek.

Ranthan Kharak Trek starts from a small village in the Kumaon Himalayas named ‘Gogina’. You can get a cab from Gogina from Kathgodam or Bageshwar

No, Ranthan Kharak is actually a beginner’s trek. However, due to it’s comparatively longer walking distance, we have put it in the category of moderate treks.

Any experienced or non-experienced trekker can embark on this off beat trek. If you are a first-time trekker but practice daily Yoga and walking/running you will easily be able to complete the trek.

If you are arriving at Kathgodam Railway Station, you can book a private cab which will take you directly to Gogina. A more budget-friendly option is to travel to Bageshwar by public transport and then take a shared cab to Gogina.

As a very small and remote village, Gogina lacks guest houses or hotels. However, you can opt to stay in a cosy mud house (homestay) and experience the true beauty of mountain village life and the hospitality of the humble villagers.

If you want to witness the lush green forests and meadows, you should embark on this trek in the months of April-May If you are fond of Autumn colours, you can choose to embark on this trek in the month of September – October
