8 Days Satopanth Tal

Destinations covered: Rishikesh | Badrinath | Mana | Laxmi Van | Chakratirth | Satopanth Tal

Satopanth means ‘path of truth’… the path that the Pandavas – Heroes of Mahabharata followed to heaven. And today we just follow their footsteps to get submerged in the heavenly surroundings and captivating 360degree views from Satopanth Tal

Though a high-altitude trek, starting from Badrinath (3100m) or Mana (3150m) & reaching Satopanth Tal at 4400m in three days, it is not that difficult. Most of the trail is well-trodden except some portion of scree traverses & boulder-hopping through the maze on glacial-moraine of the Parbati Parbat between Chakratirth and Satopanth Tal.
