Trek Overview.

Deoban trek in the Gharhwal Himalayas is a rewarding trail, and
doesn’t see much footfall, making it ideal to find oneself in solitude
with nature in the outdoors. This trail allows you to enjoy the peace of
woods, the scenic campsites, and the enchanting view of mountains.

The Deoban trek takes us through wonderful oak and pine forests and
if we are in luck we can witness the full bloom of the rhododendron
flowers also on the way. Make sure to carry a pair of binoculars to spot
some exotic Himalayan species of birds. All of this with a promise of
magnificent views of towering snow-capped mountains including
many 6000mts + Peaks of the Shivalik Range to accompany you during
your climbs!
