Day 1: Drive from Dehradun to Lohajung
🚗Drive Distance: 260 km | 🕗Drive Duration: 10 hr. approx. | 🏔️Altitude: 7,550 ft
Lohajung is the gateway to the enchanting Aali Bedni Bugyal trek, with Kathgodam being the most convenient entry point. The drive from Nainital to Lohajung is a visual treat, featuring serpentine mountain roads and lush forests, with the majestic Garhwal mountains occasionally visible on clear days.
As trekkers reach Lohajung, they are welcomed by the breathtaking sight of Nanda Ghunti peak. It's advisable to arrive before sunset to fully appreciate the peak's mesmerizing colors.
Nestled among 7-8 villages, Lohajung hosts several local shops that sell jackets, hand gloves, caps, shoes, and other trekking essentials. However, trekkers should plan to bring all necessary gear beforehand, as relying solely on these local stores is not recommended. Mobile connectivity is fairly consistent in Lohajung.
The name 'Lohajung' is steeped in mythology, believed to be the site where Goddess Parvati fought a fierce battle ('Jung') with the demon Lohasur, hence the name which translates to 'Battle with Lohasur.'
Planning your arrival: Day O
Please book your flight/ train/ bus tickets well in advance to reach Dehradun.
You must book your tickets for Day 0 or earlier. Day 0 is the day before day 1 on your Itinerary.
There are 2 easy ways you can do so:
Direct Flight to Dehradun
Highly recommended since it gives you an additional rest day at Dehradun. If the flight ticket is too expensive, book your flight to Delhi and reach Dehradun by Bus/ Train.
Taxis/ Cabs are available from airport. Prepaid taxis are also available at the airport near the arrivals section. Airport taxis cost around ₹800 to ₹1,000 per taxi to Dehradun which may cost you lesser if you share it with any co-passengers on your flight.
You can also look for Autos outside the airport area. Autos are not permitted to enter the airport. They will charge you around ₹300 to Dehradun. If you couldn't find an auto, walk for another 1.5 km to Rishikesh Dehradun Highway. You can board a regular town Bus or shared Auto (called Vikrams, usually blue in color) for ₹30.
Please Note: if the cost difference in flight ticket prices between Delhi and Dehradun is around ₹1000 then book your flight directly to Dehradun. It gives you enough rest and saves time.
Flight to Delhi
It may be a bit cost effective than a direct flight to Dehradun. Book a flight that arrives in Delhi by 8.00 PM on Day 0. Take the metro line for your nearest railway station/ bus stand.
Train options to Dehradun:
KOTA DDN AC EXP (12401)
Book your train ticket to Dehradun on KOTA DDN express from Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station which leaves at 11:50 PM and Arrives Dehradun by 05:45 AM.
DDN JANSHTBDI (12055)
You may also take the afternoon Jan Shatabdi express from New Delhi Railway station which leaves at 03:20 PM from Delhi and Arrives Dehradun by 09:10 PM.
VANDE BHARAT EXP (22457)
The fastest train to Dehradun Vande Bharat Express can be booked except on Thursdays from Anand Vihar Railway Station. It leaves at 05:50 PM from Delhi and arrives Dehradun by 10:35 PM.
Bus options to Dehradun:
There are regular Volvo AC buses available from Delhi's ISBT Kashmiri Gate to Dehradun. You can also board a non-AC bus available almost every half an hour. Bus takes 7-8 hours to Dehradun from Delhi. AC bus tickets cost around ₹800 and ₹500 for non-AC.

The criteria mentioned above are essential for ensuring the safety of all participants in a trekking experience with Uttarakhandbook. If these criteria are not met, a person will be disqualified from participating. These requirements are designed to protect both the individual and other trek participants. They are not intended to discriminate based on any physical or mental disability and are applied uniformly to all potential participants, regardless of any disability. Uttarakhandbook (UKB) is dedicated to making reasonable modifications for individuals with disabilities, provided these adjustments do not fundamentally alter the nature of the trip. Without fitness, trekkers may struggle to follow up with others, get injured or struggle to complete the trek.
How to achieve the fitness level?
Cardiovascular Exercise: Aim for activities that increase your heart rate, such as running, cycling, or using elliptical machines. These will improve your stamina and cardiovascular health.
Strength Training: Focus on exercises that build leg and core strength, such as squats, lunges, and deadlifts. Strong legs and core muscles are crucial for hiking on uneven terrain.
Hiking Practice: Try to hike on trails with inclines while carrying a weighted daypack. This will simulate the conditions you’ll face on your trip and help you get used to the weight and feel of your gear.
Footwear: Wear the same footwear you’ll use on your trip during your training hikes. This will help you break in your shoes and avoid blisters.
Consult a doctor: Before starting any new exercise program, especially one that is more strenuous, it’s important to check with your doctor to ensure you’re medically safe to participate.
Gradual Progression: Start with less intense workouts and gradually increase the intensity and duration. This will help prevent injuries and allow your body to adapt to the increased demands.
Getting in shape will not only enhance your enjoyment of the trip but also reduce the risk of injury and ensure you can fully participate in all the activities planned.
Each participant will need to complete the required forms for legal purposes by Uttarakhandbook and the forest department.
