Village Visit (2N 3D): Walk through the un-explored settings, ask, be curious, observe. It’s the part of Uttarakhand left behind. Seku village (5500 ft / 1700 mts), 2 hrs walk from Kuflon, an alternate trek route to Dodital, it is one of the very few villages in the region to have been least affected by the regular influx of outsiders. Mainly an agro-dependent economy, it has started moving towards seemingly greener pastures. Nonetheless the settings of the village offer a mix of the past and the encroaching modern influence.
Kuflon N Around (3N 4D): Get familiar with the natural environs while we take you for an easy nature trail along the Assiganga. Find yourself in fewer numbers amidst the varied Himalayan birds.
Get used to the topography of the Lesser Himalayas. A challenging 3-4 hrs hike the next day, to Mandanbitti base camp (7000 ft / 2200 mts), is the first step.
Siladooni Overnight Camping 2100 mts (3N 4D): Siladooni bugyal is used mainly as pastoral grounds by the local villagers. Although located in the same valley as the renowned Dodital trek, it never made it to any tourist trekking itinerary, because till now, it hasn’t been explored.
The campsite is surrounded by thick forest and is home to barbets, thrushes, woodpeckers and other myriad Himalayan bird species. The water holes made by the villagers for their cattle are favorites with the wild animals and chance to catch them unaware is high for the early risers.
Siladooni is a year round option, best for souls who are ready to sweat it out in the mountains and at the same time want to utilize the time in hand to observe the beginning of the greater Himalayan ranges.
Brown Trout and Fishing for it: A two minute walk to the ‘Assi Ganga’, which has its origin in the famous Dodital lake, the river is good for Brown trout, in addition to various local species of fish.
Cost for angling:
Rs 350 per trip per
person + Rs 100 angling permit per rod per day. Gillie (helper) &
Fishing tackle(Calcutta made 2 piece bamboo rods, single action reels,
limited hooks - no flies) provided. It is recommended if one has their own
rod and tackle
