Starting in April, Uttarakhand is prepared to open 15 jungle trails that have been less explored by trekkers. These trails offer visitors the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the region and embark on unique trekking experiences.
The Uttarakhand forest department is planning to offer unique trekking experiences to visitors this summer by opening less-explored jungle trails in the region. The forest conservator of Yamuna circle, Vinay Bhargav, announced that they have identified 15 different sites in the state where visitors can trek. The trails range from the least explored trek trails in the dense coniferous forests of Chakrata to the geological excursions at 1000 ft in Kharamba and stargazing in Molta.
According to Bhargav, visitors will be able to choose the trails based on their preferences and vacation duration. They can opt for routes that involve trekking 2.5 km in a day to 65 km-long treks lasting a week, wherein trekkers will also get to stay in homestays and nature camps. The forest department is also planning to offer the experience of staying in British-era forest rest houses along the trails.
Of the 15 identified trails, nine are seldom visited by outsiders and have no human habitation, making them situated in very dense forests. Some of these sites include Naada, Konain, Kudog, Daragad, Budher, Jakh, Deoban, Mundali, Kahtiyan, and Kanasar.
The process will start with a 65-km-long trail named Thadiyar March, which was developed by the British to educate young forest service probationers about forestry nuances. It will be modified and opened to the public tentatively from April. The trail will take visitors through picturesque hills with elevations ranging from 542 m to 3,067m in the Chakrata area.
In conclusion, the Uttarakhand forest department is gearing up to offer visitors a unique and exciting trekking experience by opening less-explored jungle trails. With a variety of options available, visitors can choose the trails that best suit their preferences and vacation duration, and even stay in British-era forest rest houses along the way.
