Hemkund Sahib and VOF
Quote:
Dear Nilavra, Could you please ask your query in a relevant thread that talks about badrinath/satopanth trek. for the sake of other readers, let us stick our discussion relevant to title of thread. hope it makes sense and that you wont mind. Just came back from VoF, Hemkund Sahib, Badarinath, Mana& Delhi
I started on 4th July and was back in Pune on 14th July...
All in all the trip went as planned with some landslides on the way... The weather was great.. all with clouds, rain & sun coming and going in shitfs... sometime doding overtime...
Valley was mostly white and yellow... Flowers were there but mostly 2-3 dominant once... but found a lot around Hemkund and ghagria.
The trek to Hemkund was very tiring... but the view on top is just amazing... took 5 (3+2) dips in freezing water of Hemkund...
Check some pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2344746...n/photostream/
Will post more as I process them...

What is likely to be the temperature range in August in VoF & Hemkund? I find conflicting information on the web.

joshimath
Oh, I will leave from Joshimath ti Haridwar and catch the train (to Delhi) at 11 pm.
From Joshimath to Haridwar, could I will catch the train at 11 pm.? I have already booked.
sure you can .. joshimath to haridwar takes approximately 10-11 Hours if the roads are clear on the go.. only the problem is during rainy season, for that you have to start early from joshimath
Auli
If I still keep my plan to Auli, could you recomment this plan or I may add VOF for 1 day i/o?

What you should do on 2nd Aug is - after returning from Auli, keep moving to say Karnprayag or Rudraprayag, don't stay again at Joshimath. That way you can comfortably reach Haridwar on the 3rd. Haridwar

Could you recommend Karenprayag and Rudraprayad such as the hostel ?
