Aancha Top Trek Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Dehradun to Ranachatti (Drive: 160 km, 7-8 hours)

Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Dehradun. The drive passes through Mussoorie, one of Uttarakhand’s most popular hill stations, and you’ll see the Yamuna River for the first time at Bhediyana. The scenic highway winds along the river through deep valleys and dense forests.

At Naugaon, the road splits – the left leads toward Kedarkantha territory, while you take the right toward Barkot and deeper into Yamunotri Valley. On clear days, you’ll spot the Bandarpoonch massif from the road, and just before Ranachatti, Dinnala Bugyal comes into view with its two pointed ends—Jhandi Top and Aancha Top—standing tall.

Accommodation: Homestay/Guesthouse at Ranachatti (2,134m) Evening: Trek orientation, safety briefing, and acclimatization walk through the village

Day 2: Ranachatti to Bamsingh (Trek: 4 km, 3-4 hours, Altitude: 2,804m)

The starting trail has some rocky terrain leading through villages and beautiful terraced farmlands before entering the forest area. Today’s trek begins with a gentle ascent through lush oak and rhododendron forests filled with bird songs and flowing streams.

As you gain altitude, panoramic glimpses of surrounding peaks begin to reveal themselves. The final stretch opens into a wide meadow—Bamsingh campsite—known for its open grasslands and fantastic sunset views, with distant snow-capped ridges glowing orange during dusk on clear days.

Altitude Gain: 670 meters Accommodation: Alpine camping at Bamsingh Highlights: First meadow views, rhododendron forests, sunset panoramas

Day 3: Bamsingh to Dinnala Camp (Trek: 4 km, 4-5 hours, Altitude: 3,277m)

Today’s route takes you deeper into high-altitude terrain with a mix of steep climbs and gentle traverses through thick forests, where vegetation changes and the air becomes thinner and cooler as you gain altitude. The trail alternates between forest sections and small meadow clearings.

A kilometer ahead, a small meadow provides a refreshing break before you continue through more forest stretches and cross a lively mountain stream. On reaching Dinnala Camp, you’re greeted by sweeping views of the valley below and a close-up look at surrounding ranges in this peaceful, secluded setting.

Altitude Gain: 473 meters Accommodation: Alpine camping at Dinnala Highlights: High-altitude forests, mountain streams, stargazing opportunities

Day 4: Dinnala to Aancha Camp via Aancha Top Summit (Trek: 8 km, 7-8 hours, Summit: 3,818m)

Summit Day! This is the most rewarding and challenging part of your trek. An early morning start takes you toward the three glacial lakes of Dinnala Bugyal. These lakes look stunning in every season—pristine white in winter, lush green in summer, and reddish-orange hues in autumn.

After exploring the lakes, the real highlight begins with a steep 200-meter climb onto a ridge where even rhododendrons disappear, standing amidst magical views of the Gangotri and Yamunotri ranges. The mountains hidden until now suddenly reveal themselves in full glory.

The trail follows the ridge for hours with a 2 km gradual ascent among grand views leading to Aancha Top. At the summit (3,818m), you’re rewarded with breathtaking 360-degree panoramas of snow-covered peaks, deep valleys, and untouched Himalayan wilderness.

After soaking in summit views, descend gradually to Aancha Camp nestled in serene alpine meadows.

Maximum Altitude: 3,818 meters (12,526 feet) Accommodation: Alpine camping at Aancha Camp (3,475m) Highlights: Summit achievement, glacial lakes, ridge walk, panoramic mountain views

Day 5: Aancha Camp to Ranachatti (Trek: 12 km, 5-6 hours, Descend to 2,134m)

Begin your descent through wide alpine meadows offering mesmerizing Himalayan views before re-entering the dense oak and pine forests. The downhill walk is easier and gives ample time to enjoy the landscapes crossed earlier, reaching Ranachatti by afternoon.

Altitude Loss: 1,341 meters Accommodation: Homestay/Guesthouse at Ranachatti Highlights: Relaxed descent, final mountain views, celebration evening

Day 6: Ranachatti to Dehradun (Drive: 160 km, 7-8 hours)

After breakfast, bid farewell to the mountains and begin the scenic drive back to Dehradun through valleys and forested roads. The return journey takes you once again along rivers, cliffs, and lush mountains, giving final beautiful glimpses of Uttarakhand, arriving in Dehradun by evening.

What Makes Aancha Top Unique?

Comparison with Other Popular Treks

Aancha Top vs Kedarkantha:

Aancha Top vs Gulabi Kantha:

Both treks are in Yamunotri region of Uttarakhand with almost the same altitude and difficulty level, very similar to each other with the same Himalayan peaks visible.

Key Differences:

• Aancha Top: More recently discovered, even less crowded
• Gulabi Kantha: Slightly more explored but still offbeat
• Both offer solitude and pristine beauty

The Spiritual Connection

Yamunotri is one of the biggest pilgrim sites of Uttarakhand known for spirituality, where many sages and devotees have been visiting this region for centuries, with many devotees and nature lovers adding Aancha Top Trek to their meditation journey.

The entire valley carries sacred significance as the source of River Yamuna, making your trek not just an adventure but a spiritual journey through Dev Bhoomi (Land of Gods).

Glacial Lakes of Dinnala Bugyal

One of the trek’s unique features is encountering three glacial lakes spread across the Dinnala meadows. These pristine water bodies change character with seasons – frozen in winter, crystal clear in summer, reflecting surrounding peaks like natural mirrors.

Ridge Walk Experience

The narrow ridge walk to Aancha Top summit is unlike any other beginner-friendly trek. For hours, you walk with mountains rising on both sides, creating an exhilarating sense of being on top of the world while remaining safely accessible.
