We will enjoy our journey only when we reach to our destination safely...thinking about our safety is not nonsense i guess.. Its just a common sense to follow the instructions.

You will get all the trekking equipments in the Sankri village itself.Trek leader will tell you to rent it before starting the trek.Say for example, you will get the trekking stick for Rs 50 per day,shoe for Rs 300-350.
Never under estimate the use of trekking tick and shoe.Its a must unless you have the decathlon kind of trekking shoe or stick.
You will understand the use of shoe once you are in snow.
Yes. Kheerganga , Himachal trip can be the cheapest for you if you spend it wisely. you can check my kheerganga trek post. I have mentioned everything there. go through it once.
Honestly the trek rates aren't that high. It does seem expensive but the truth is it's not that expensive if you have gears.
To start with if you haven't been on any trek yet try visiting some small treks. If you are from Mumbai or anywhere in Maharashtra then you are sitting in middle of the Trekking state!! You can choose any good trek from here.
Later you can get yourself enrolled with any trek groups such as IndiaHikes or KailashRath or many others who arrange treks for North for under 15k including stay and food (obviously)
My recent trek to Himachal costed me 26k overall including roundtrip flights to Delhi and roundtrip buses to Kasol.
I have uploaded two blogs of my Kasol trek so do check those out!
Happy Traveling!

Tugnath is closed during winters and open when badrinath open,around April or May...best time to go chandrashila trek is in early or mid October...as it's got foggy in summers so you cant have any view...in winters it's is too cold or paths are blocked from snowfall.
Hello Tejas i am also planning for chopta and tungnath from delhi. So best way to reach tungnath is take a bus from kashmeri gate to haridwar or rishikesh try to reach as early as possible then take another bus to rudrprayag or ukhimath. Then you have to take the taxi to chopta. Its an amazing place and the view is awsome during witers. Please share your reviews after your trip.
Yes they do not allow solo permits. You may get in touch with an agent however, who can club you with other group for the permit. If you are worried about the costs for booking an agent (as they will offer you an entire package), just ask them to book the hotels for you, which you can choose online and let them know. Permit and immigration will be taken care by them.
Alternatively: If you are entering by road (the Phuentsholing border), stay overnight in Phuentsholing (doesn't need a permit). Ask the hotel authorities to help you out or go to the immigration and find your own group, with similar itinerary to club with for immigration purpose.
