Hi Chits,

I and my girlfriend will be doing Roopkund in the same days. Could you give me your contact details so that we can be in touch.

We are travelling to Wan through Haridwar. There is a train which will leave Delhi at 11pm and reach Haridwar at 4am. I will reach Karnaprayag by noon and Wan by early evening. You should also explore this option, since it will allow you more rest before starting off the next day.

@anand
we are going other way ..kathgodam and from there we will start for Wan around 7 AM..last week one of our friend reach WAN by 8 PM ..so we are going to repeat the same...
as you see in my itinerary ..we will goto Bedni the very next day..and in my opinion ..one should acclimitaise at higher height instead at wan..a rest day @ bedni can be good idea..
we are doing this to acclimatise..normally peple cover bedni - bagguwasa in 1 day..we are doing in 2 days..

Day 2: Bedni Bugyal - Ghora Lotani...and rest for acclimitasie
Day 3: Ghora Lotani - Baggu Wasa and again acclimatise..

we have arranged a experinced guide and porters..food and other stuff we will buy from noida and pack in carton..the same we did in HKD December trekkmore info here http://chitrang.blogspot.com

anand ..post ur itinerary..so that we can see where we can meet..
bye
