RUDRANAG TREK

Day 1: Barshaini – Kheerganga – Rudranag

The Rudranag Trek begins from Barshaini, the official starting point of both the Kheerganga trek and the Rudranag trail. The Rudranag trek distance on this day is approximately 7–8 km, and the trail takes you through lush deodar forests, scenic mountain ridges, and small waterfalls. As we move along the route, we pass the popular Kheerganga hot springs before descending slightly toward Rudranag Waterfall.

The Rudranag to Kheerganga distance is short but scenic, often dotted with shepherds’ huts and panoramic Himalayan views. You’ll also encounter the ancient Rudranag temple, a spiritual spot with local legend. This stretch is ideal for nature lovers and photographers — many trekkers stop to capture stunning Rudranag waterfall photos along the way.

Enjoy trekking and camping near the Rudranag site. Tents will be set up in a beautiful alpine location where you can relax and enjoy nature. The Rudranag temperature can dip in the evening, so refer to our Rudranag trek things to carry checklist to stay comfortable.

Day 2: Rudranag – Barshaini

Wake up to the peaceful sound of cascading water and fresh Himalayan air. After breakfast, we begin our return journey to Barshaini. This day’s Rudranag trek distance is around 5–6 km and is mostly downhill, making it a comfortable walk for all fitness levels.

You’ll walk back through the same scenic trail, passing pine forests and viewpoints perfect for capturing more Rudranag trek photos.
