Gulabi Kantha Trek

Gulabi Kantha Trek

The Gulabi Kantha Trek is one of the hidden gems of Uttarakhand, tucked in the Garhwal Himalayas near Hanuman Chatti. Known for its lush alpine meadows, wildflowers, and expansive views of Himalayan peaks, it is still relatively unexplored compared to other popular treks. At Lap of Nature, we make your journey even more special – if you couldn’t complete your trek or wish to relive it, you can repeat the trek without paying the trek fee again.
