The Nanda Devi National Park administrative team has decided to re open an alternate trekking route to theĀ valley of flowers. The Kunthkhal-Hanuman Chatti trekking route will again come back to life after being under a glacier since 1970. The 25 km long track cost about 1.5 crore to repair to make it usable for trekkers.
The new track takes about 17 hours on an average to complete. 11 km of this track is steep climb to an altitude of 4500 meters to Kunthkhal where trekkers can stay overnight. The remaining 14 km of the track is gentle slope that links to Hanuman Chatti at the Badrinath National Highway.
After being closed for 45 years, a trek route near Valley of Flowers has finally been opened for adventure seekers to enjoy the view. The route is from Kunthkhal, which is in Valley of Flowers, to Hanuman Chatti. This stretch offers the marvelous view of glaciers, gorges and rivers, on the way.
