About This Trek
The Phulara Ridge Trek is one of India's best-kept secrets and offers an experience rarely found in the Himalayas—a continuous, multi-hour ridge walk. Unlike most treks where you cross a ridge in a matter of minutes, this trek keeps you walking right on top of a sweeping ridge for the entire day, rewarding you with uninterrupted 360-degree views of the Garhwal mountains. As you walk the ridge, majestic peaks like Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, and Black Peak walk alongside you. The trail begins from the beautiful village of Sankri and takes you through pristine pine and oak forests that burst with rhododendron colors in the spring. The transition from dense forest to expansive meadows at Sikolta and Bhoj Gadi is absolutely mesmerizing. If you want high-altitude thrill without the extreme difficulty of a pass crossing, Phulara Ridge is unmatched.
