Overview

Why Try This Trek

Pakhadi and Choodwar are among the least-frequented named routes in the ecozone, favoured by our guides specifically when a group wants solitude beyond what even Rolla or Rangthar offer.

The trail runs through dense mixed forest for most of its length, with a character closer to genuine wilderness walking than to a marked, popular trekking route.

Difficulty, Honestly

What to Expect Underfoot

Moderate, with the caveat that less-trodden trails can mean rougher underfoot conditions — this is a better fit for trekkers with at least some prior multi-day trekking experience.

Best time to go: April–June and October–November.

Day by Day

Detailed Itinerary

Days 1–2 — Approach through mixed forest

A gradual approach through increasingly dense forest, away from the more established Rolla and Rangthar corridors.

Day 3 — Pakhadi and Choodwar

Time at the trek's high points, with your guide adjusting the exact route based on trail conditions, since this path sees far less regular maintenance traffic than the Park's signature routes.

Day 4 — Descent

Return descent to the road-head and transfer back to Gushaini.
