As for most Grahwal treks,  our starting point is at Rishikesh from where a drive (via Uttarkashi) of 6-7  hours brings us to village Basru (2250m). Here we pitch our tents at Bugyal  Sarai for lunch. The afternoon is then yours to explore the nearby village and  understand and observe the culture of these self sufficient villagers.  Overnight at camp.  

Packing for a trek can  take quite a bit of time so we start our day early, finish breakfast and get  ready to trek up! The schedule is as such that today we trek from Bugyal Sarai  to Dayara Bugyal(3150 m) which is a walk of about six hours with a good view of  the Himalayas all around. Thrilled but tired enough to hit the sacks  immediately we camp overnight at Dayara.

This is an interesting day  of trekking. The entire 5 hours from Darya Bugyal to Syari Bugyal is spent  walking on the ridge of the mountain. It is a thrilling experience to actually  walk with hundreds of meters of cliff below you! However, our guides are  prepared to take care of you lest any danger prevails and you have not a thing  to worry about. Exhilarated with the slight adventure, we camp below Syari  Bugyal for the night.

Early the next day, we  finish breakfast and start our trek to Surya Top, which is a summit offering an  almost 360 degree view of the Himalayas with prominent peaks such as Bandarpoonch  (6350 m), Dropdikadanda (6420 m), Jaonli (6600 m), Srikanth, Gangotri I,II,III  etc. clearly visible. Our guides will be able to point out accurately the name  of the peaks for you and you can store away the memory in your cameras. This is  perhaps the best walk of the entire trek. From Surya top, we walk back on the  ridge and divert to our camping at Kornkutta.  

The walk is through a nice  oak, cedar and rhododendron forest and finally a pretty much downhill walk to  the Agoda village. We camp for the night just below the said village, which  consists of 20 to 30 houses, double-storied, slate roofed and each with a stone  courtyard.

It is now just a 2 and half  hours walk down to the awaiting vehicles which will take us back to Rishikesh.
