Itinerary

08:00 AM – Hattiban

Start your trek near the Hattiban Resort area, diving straight into a steady uphill climb through shady pine woods. The cool morning air and needle-carpeted path offer a strong, steady rhythm to wake up your legs.

Break out of the tree line onto the exposed crest. The trail narrows into a steep, rocky ridge path where open skies and wide-angle views of the valley floor take center stage.

11:00 AM – Champadevi

Arrive at the 2,278-meter peak. Take time to explore the sacred Champadevi shrine, rest by the waving prayer flags, and soak in the unobstructed views of the snow-capped Himalayan wall to the north.

12:00 AM – Descent

Begin descending along the western ridge, navigating a mix of stone steps, forest canopy, and open glades. The downhill section keeps you on your toes with varied terrain and shifting vantage points.

01:30 PM – Pharping

Finish your trail run near the historic valley town of Pharping. Celebrate the successful traverse with a hot cup of tea before catching transport back to the city.
