Budget Hotels in Ukhimath

So that's how our trek ended, we came down into the town Ukimath, we took a hotel for night stay as there was only one bus direct to Haridwar at 5 in the morning from Ukimath and we can not miss that at any cost, That night we had an amazing dinner at some local Bhojanalay, we ate like a monster bcoz the food was so excellent there. We had wine and a nice tight sleep and yes at morning we came back to the reality, where no one knows the real you, the city life.Well there is so much to share about my expedition, so may beautiful pictures to share but now i am putting a full stop here, Go now Visit Chopta and live the nature by own.

The fourth temple in the order, the place where the middle torso of the Lord Rudra is worshipped , the temple is at an altitude of 3289 mts and is located on the slope of a ridge 30 kms from Guptakashi. The trek point beginning is the village of Raasi which can be reached from Ukimath. One reaches Ukimath from Haridwar after a 8 hour road journey.The journey from Ukimath to Raasi is generally covered in around two hours and passes through small villages en route called Mansuna ,Raounke ,Ulliana . The mode of transport to all these places is either the jeep or small mini buses. There is only one bus which goes every day to these places and for the jeep well one has to wait till respectable number of passengers are accumulated. Basically the pace of life is slow and involves lot of waiting and planning in case one has to move in these interior parts of Uttarakhand. This is not the place of android phones and multi-tasking lifestyle.By 630 in the evening I was at Raasi and the walk from the road till Umeid’s house was a bit awkward as I was subjected to curious stares from just about everyone, as it happens in small villages the word spreads quickly that an outsider has come for trekking. Anyways with a smile on my face I greeted all those whom I met and soon was at ease. The evening was spent in the company of the local school teacher and we had quite an engaging discussion on various topics. In the between I did sneak up to the terrace and looked at the great army of stars in the clear mountain night gazing down upon me

Around 3PM reached Ukhimath and boarded a local taxi and reached Sari Village which is around 40mins from Ukhimath.The taxi dropped us at the start of the trek. There was a small dhaba of Mr. Negi, where we had tea.

It was around 4 when we had lunch and headed towards our next stop along the way to Chopta, Deoria-Tal and took a bus to Ukhimath (nearest village to Deoria-Tal) however we were advised to take halt in Ukhimath instead of trekking another 3km in evening because of safety issues. So we searched for out perfect camp stay under star city of Ukhimath and planned to see another beautiful temple next morning. Our day one of the trip ended at a good note and we slept in anticipation of even more exciting day two.

Ukhimath is famous in Uttarakhand because of Deoritaal and the temple at Ukhimath.The entire road from Joshimath to Ukhimath is motorable..It would be a good idea to visit Ukhimath and Deoria Taal on the same day and travel to Chopta to save time..One has to make a steep climb to reach Deoria Taal.. The entire lake is very holy and it is said that a snake rules the lake here in the form of a NAAG Devta.In Janmashtami the Naag comes out of the lake and local people gather all around to seek blessings..
