solo treks

can we compile the list of solo trek locations in Garhwal / Kumaon / HP

i mean , alone , without any guide/porter/cook , without carrying cooking equipments with accomodation/food available on the way , and with a clear trekking path. but the trekker carries tent with sleeping bag .

one such is Kafni/pindari trek
another one , i picked from VSK's site => Trek to Panchchuli East BC

any other itineraries please

when you say solo treks,you mean without a guide or a group? If so, I would hesitate to call Gomukh-Tapovan and Satopanth solo treks! What would happen(say) if you twisted an ankle?

Cheers.

Hiya...
Once such a list is ready, as my nick name suggests, I sure would like to have a copy of it...!
Cheers...!
(p.s. - Just got back this morning from a solo trek near McLeod Ganj - Close to Lahesh Cave in the middle of a torrential downpour and a flashflood - And I'll say just one thing - I sure am lucky I actually got back at all...!)
