Kush Kalyan, Mountain trek route in Uttarkashi district, India
Kush Kalyan is a mountain trek in the Garhwal Himalayas that passes through thick forests and high alpine meadows at elevations around 3400 meters. The trail connects several villages and offers changing landscapes as you gain elevation along the route.
The route follows ancient trade paths that have connected mountain villages in the region for many generations. These paths were important for commerce and connections between communities and the valley below.
Local villages along the trek route maintain traditional farming practices on terraced fields and preserve mountain customs through their daily activities.
The trek requires good fitness and mountain experience due to the elevation and challenging terrain. There are established rest spots and camping areas along the route, but bring enough water and supplies for the journey.
From the high meadow, trekkers can see three major Himalayan peaks all towering above 6300 meters. This rare view of multiple important mountains from a single spot makes the experience memorable.
