Yes Tungnath & Chandrashila (above Tungnath can be done in winter.
You could also trek to Deoria Tal & Karthik Swami, which has excellent views of Chaukhamba.

question is how short is short?

Any place in Himalaya would require at least a day to reach by road and another day to come back. After that you can have treks that take anywhere between 3 days to 6 days for a short trek of say 20-30 Kms one way or 30-50 Kms for a traverse.

there are of course treks that are of 15 Kms distance one way...like Tunganath...

More details can be fed with exact requirement

Hi everyone,

I'll be in India during the month of October and after landing in Delhi I aim to start my trip in the Northern region of Uttarakhand (It's actually where I plan to stay most of the time).
I'll first start in Kumaon(Almora/Jageshawar/Binsar) and then to Garwal (Haridwar/Rishikesh).

One of the things that attracts me the most in those places is their natural beauty, and I see that tons of treks are available around there.

My question is: how difficult can it be to trek? I'm in my mid 20's and I'm quite OK but not a sports hot shot. From the treks' description it is quite difficult to understand if by going I'm undertaking a walk in the park or an out-of-my-league challenge.

Any advice on easy nature treks in Uttarakhand? I read about the Char Dam treks (Yamunotri seems ok) and the Pindari Glaciar (that seems quite difficult).

Thanks a lot for your help.

It's a thrill to see such a genuine community of people helping each other!

Daniel
