| How to get to the base camp Sankri |
|
If you are using the public transport, take the 6 am bus out of Dehradun to Sankri. It is a private bus that leaves just outside the Dehradun railway station on Gandhi Road. If you are taking a hired taxi, the route is pretty straightforward. First head to Mussoorie, then move down to Yamuna Bridge, via Kempty falls. Then follow the Yamuna on your left until you reach Damta and further on to Naugaon. Cross the Yamuna at Naugaon and head towards Purola. The route immediately turns scenic, with pine trees overlooking the road. At Purola break for lunch. From Purola the route gets more mesmerizing with the road winding through thick pine forests until you get to Mori along the Tons river. Follow the Tons to Naitwar, again through some breathtaking mountain scenery. At Naitwar, the road branches off to the right along the Supin until you get to Sankri an hour later. Note: Purola has the last ATM and Naitwar the last phone connections. Sankri has BSNL phone connections that work intermittently (both mobile and landline). Sankri does not have mobile signals. There is a BSNL landline at the GMVN guesthouse. If you are joining our trek batch, we can arrange transportation for you from Dehradoon to Sankri and back. The mode of transport would be Sumos with six people sharing a Sumo. The approximate cost per person would be Rs.1340. Delhi to Dehradoon: Book the Nizamuddin - Dehradoon A/C special train from Nizamuddin station at Delhi. The train reaches Dehradoon at 5.30 a.m. Our vehicles will be ready to pick you up from the station at 6 a.m. Dehradoon to Delhi: After the trek is over, our vehicles will drop you back to Dehradoon in time to catch the Dehradoon Delhi A/C special or the Mussoorie express trains back to Delhi. |
