Description

Black Peak Trek in Uttarakhand

For seasoned trekkers and mountaineering enthusiasts, Black Peak Expedition Ex Dehradun offers one of the most thrilling high-altitude challenges in the Indian Himalayas. Standing tall at 6,387 meters (20,955 feet), Black Peak, also known as Kala Nag, is the highest peak in the Bandarpunch massif located in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand.

Starting from Dehradun, this expedition takes you through the untouched beauty of the Govind Pashu Vihar National Park and eventually to a summit that rewards climbers with sweeping views of Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, and other Himalayan giants.

What Makes the Black Peak Trek in Uttarakhand Unique?

The Black Peak Trek in Uttarakhand is not just a test of endurance but also a spiritual and scenic experience. The trail moves through remote Himalayan villages, alpine forests, glacier zones, and moraine fields, offering an unforgettable variety of landscapes.

Black Peak is among the few non-technical 6,000+ meter peaks in India that allow semi-technical climbers and advanced trekkers to aim for the summit with proper preparation and guided support.

Route Overview: Black Peak Expedition Ex Dehradun

Your journey begins from Dehradun, the capital city of Uttarakhand. From here, the group is driven to Sankri, a quaint village and popular starting point for several treks in the region.

Key Stops on the Route:

  • Dehradun to Sankri: 200 km drive through Mussoorie and beautiful pine forests.

  • Sankri to Taluka: Jeep drive followed by a trek to Seema or Osla village.

  • Seema to Ruinsara Tal: Scenic meadows and the sacred glacial lake.

  • Ruinsara to Base Camp: Entering alpine and moraine zone.

  • Summit Push: Via Advance Base Camp and Summit Camp with technical assistance.

The total duration of the expedition is around 12–14 days, depending on acclimatization and weather conditions.

Best Time for Black Peak Trek in Uttarakhand

The best time to undertake the Black Peak Trek in Uttarakhand is during the pre-monsoon (May to June) and post-monsoon (September to October) windows. During these periods, the weather is relatively stable, and the chances of a successful summit are higher. Watch
