Day-by-Day Itinerary
Shimla to Jiskun
Jiskun accommodation; type to confirmWith booked transport, assemble in Shimla by 07:00 and drive approximately 198 km in 9-10 hours to Jiskun. Meet the team and settle into the assigned village accommodation. Confirm its type because the general tent inclusion does not clearly allocate this night.
Jiskun to Jakha
Jakha accommodation; type to confirmTrek approximately 6-7 km over 4-5 hours through village paths and forest. The source describes a sustained ascent and a small wooden bridge before reaching Jakha, spelled Jhaka by the operator. Confirm the village overnight arrangement before booking.
Jakha to Dhanderas via Saruwas Thatch
Twin-sharing tent at Dhanderas ThatchDescend towards the river and follow its course through changing forest and meadow terrain. The approximately 11-12 km stage takes 8-9 hours, passing Saruwas Thatch before reaching the waterfall basin. Camp at Dhanderas rather than stopping overnight at Saruwas.
Rest or Weather Reserve Day
Twin-sharing tent; location at leader's discretionUse the scheduled rest day according to weather and participant fitness. The trek leader may place this day at any camp, not necessarily Dhanderas. Follow the team's acclimatization plan and expect later stage dates to shift if its location changes.
Dhanderas to Upper Waterfall Camp
Twin-sharing tent at Upper Waterfall CampClimb approximately 4 km over three hours towards the top of the waterfall. The relatively short stage allows time to settle at the higher camp before the pass day. Follow the leader through the steeper ascent and seasonal snow sections.
Cross Rupin Pass to Ronti Gad
Twin-sharing tent at Ronti GadStart around 05:00 with packed breakfast and lunch. The operator splits the stage into approximately 4 km to the pass in 6-7 hours and 4 km down to Ronti Gad in 2-3 hours. The steep Rati Pheri and pass approaches require the guide's condition assessment.
Ronti Gad to Sangla and Optional Shimla Transfer
No overnight stayDescend approximately 13 km over 5-6 hours to Sangla. If the return transport add-on is booked, continue approximately 225 km to Shimla, listed at seven hours. The source suggests a 09:00 walking start, so arrival may be late; confirm timing and allow an onward-travel buffer.
