Devi Darshan Trek
The trek is for those who wish to see the Himalayan ranges but do not have the inclilnation for the tougher treks. Three 'siddh peeths' - Chamba, Surkunda Devi and Kunjapuri, are on the top of hills in a triangular form, named after Goddess Durga. From each temple the others are visible, and present a panoramic view of the mighty garhwal Himalayas and the Doon Valley.
Each temple is approachable by motor and by shorts treks of an hour each from nearest motor heads. Each temple at the top of the hills, deeply inspires you to transcend into meditation and spirituality.
This specially designed hiking and trekking tour to Surkunda Devi in Garhwal Himalayas is a combined effort of a team of certified mountaineers and travel agents in India aiming at making travel economical and affordably cheap for the budget trekker walking in the himalayas as well as maintaining quality at par with the world-class standards. We feel our job, as tour operators and trek guides, is to design treks giving our customers a memorable experience in trekking adventure.
