Gupt Khal Trek

Uttarakhand

Altitude5,800 M

Durations13 Days

Description

Gupt Khal Trek is located in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district at a height of 5,807 meters. These treks are unique because they are a spectacular trip in and of themselves; they are a popular and well-kept secret in the Himalayas. Here we have the meaning of the Gupt, which is unknown, and the Khal, which refers to the drain that leads from one end to the other boundary or direction. Gupt Khal trek is a challenging trek in Uttarakhand that can only be completed by experienced and skilled trekkers who are familiar with high-altitude treks. Do this journey with the locals or with experienced persons like us who are locals here whenever possible. No one else can aid you from the locals here, and it will be really valuable to you at all times. This is why we must state that there are seasonal changes in nature from time to time, for which we must all be prepared; this is the law of adventure.
