Chirbatiya Weekend Trek
A Short Trek with Grand Mountain Views
Chirbatiya Weekend Trek starts either from Chirbatiya or Uroli village. The highlight of this trek is the campsites. They offer a grand panoramic view of the Greater Himalayas, of peaks like Mrigthuni, Trishul, Nanda Devi, Chang-Bang, Dronagiri, Neelkanth, Chaukhamba and Kedarnath.
Interestingly, this trek also faces the east. This means the trek receives toasty sunlight for the major part of the day, making it pleasant for hiking even during Himalayan winters.
Even though this is a short trek, it has the charm of certain longer Himalayan treks. For example, at a break-point, you cross en route the Patangnia meadows will remind you of Bekaltal from the Brahmatal trek.
This makes the Chirbatiya Weekend trek special.

Why I Believe Everyone Must Trek: A Note from the Founder
Trekking transforms lives. It has changed my life. When I see my colleagues at Indiahikes, all of them have been impacted greatly. The transformations have been profound and irreversible.
I see it in our trekkers too. I have seen them change professions, careers or start a new life. I have seen them get in and out of relationships, and start new projects. These are life-changing experiences.
I have seen children building resilience. I have seen families come together. When I see those above 55, I see them rediscover passion and a sense of purpose. These are not small gains.
In the mountains new professions, new economies and new businesses have opened up. Our staff no longer go to cities to earn their living. Their income has increased. Above all, they are happiest working in this world. Trekking has been truly transformative.
Everyone must trek. It transforms lives far more than you imagine.
