Bharadsar Lake Trek

The Bharadsar Lake trek is a challenging journey that starts in the pine forests of Himri, with steep terrain. To avoid taking the wrong path, it is essential to seek directions from local villagers. Located at an altitude of about 4400 m above sea level between the rupin and supin valleys , the Baradsar lake is close to the border of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. This is one of the unexplored Himalyan terks in India and is becoming famous among the trekkers. The initial path is through a green valley and takes you to rocky surface which make it a bit difficult.

After a rigorous 4-hour uphill trek on the first day, you will reach Bitri village, home to around 100 families. Your first day’s campsite will be at Saaru Taal, a picturesque meadow with a lake.

The second campsite, Badaang, is located higher up on the same slope. It involves a moderate trek covering 7km with an elevation gain of over 2200ft.

The journey from Badang to Dhal Dhar, your 3rd campsite, is arduous and lengthy. You will begin by hiking through the Oak forest near your campsite, with the village Liwadi visible nearby. The Dhal Dhar campsite is in a narrow valley, with the hill covered in white Rhododendron bushes. There is no water available along the entire route.

The following day’s trek to Dev Bhasa is short, lasting around 2 hours. It involves an initial 500ft climb followed by a descent to the campsite.

The trek from Dev Bhasa to Bharadsar camp is the most challenging and longest of the six days, passing by Bharadsar Lake. The journey involves navigating rocks and moraines carefully.

The next day’s trek includes a steep descent to Upper Rehala from Dev Bhasa before retracing the path back to Dhal Dhar.

The last day begins with an easy downhill walk, but the descent from Bitari is steep.

Know Everything About Acute Mountain Sickness

Acute Mountain Sickness is a medical condition that can occur when individuals travel to high altitudes, typically above 8,000 feet. It is caused by the decrease in air pressure and oxygen levels in the air as altitude increases. Symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness may include headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and difficulty sleeping. To avoid Acute Mountain Sickness, it is important to gradually adjust to high altitudes and seek medical attention if symptoms worsen. To learn more about this condition, check out the videos by Trekup India.

Head Gears

When trekking it's important to carry headgear to protect your head and face.

Heading out for a trek? Don’t forget to carry headgear to protect your beautiful face and head from the sun, wind, and dust! It’s an essential accessory that keeps you safe and comfortable throughout your adventurous journey. So, make sure you pack it before you step out into nature!

  1. Head Lamps – When trekking at night, headlamps are essential to illuminate your path while keeping your hands free. Headlamps come in different sizes and lumens, so it is essential to choose one that suits your needs.
  2. Hats or Cap – Caps or hats are also necessary when trekking in different weather conditions. Caps protect your head from the wind and freezing temperatures at night, while hats provide shade and protection from the sun during the day. It’s essential to ensure that your hat has a strap to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
  3. Sunglasses – Sunglasses are also essential for trekking. Your sunglasses should protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and fit your face perfectly to avoid falling off while climbing, jumping, or crossing obstacles. The glass of your sunglasses should also be designed for different weather conditions to provide optimal visibility.
  4. Buff / Balaclava – Lastly, a buff or balaclava is a must-have to protect your mouth or neck from extreme temperatures and keep them warm. Buffs and balaclavas come in different materials, thicknesses, and designs, so it’s important to choose one that suits your needs and preferences. Depending on the weather conditions and your activities, you can wear them as neck warmers, face masks, or headbands.
With these essential items, you can enjoy trekking safely and comfortably, no matter the weather or time of day.

Clothes

When trekking in high altitudes, prepare for cold weather by wearing layers. Layering traps heat, keeps you warm, and allows you to easily adjust your clothing as temperatures fluctuate.

Layering is important for different seasons when trekking. When planning a high-altitude trek, it is important to prepare for the cold weather. Wearing layers is the best approach as it provides both protection and flexibility when the weather changes frequently in the mountains. Layering helps to trap heat and keep your body warm, while at the same time allowing you to easily adjust your clothing as the temperature fluctuates. By wearing layers, you can enjoy your trek comfortably and stay safe in the unpredictable mountain weather

  1. For spring, summer, and monsoon treks, consider wearing three layers: a woollen sweater, a fleece, and a padded jacket.
  2. For autumn treks, add one more fleece layer to make it four layers.
  3. For winter treks, you may need five layers with thermals, a woollen sweater, two fleeces, and a padded jacket.
  4. T-shirt/sleeve shirt– Bring three T-shirts and two quick-dry trek pants, wearing one and carrying the others. Long sleeve shirts help to protect from sun UV rays. We recommend synthetic T-shirts as they get dry quickly when they get wet.
  5. Hiking / Trekking Jacket– down jackets (-5 to-10 C) or two-three-layer jackets.
  6. Thermals– at least two pairs of thermals help keep the body warm during cold weather.
  7. Undergarments– you can carry them according to your habitual and hygiene requirements.
  8. Gloves– 1 pair of gloves will keep your hand warm and nice.
  9. Trek Pants– Bring 2 to 3 comfortable trekking pants. Trekking pants play a significant role, as they are designed for comfort and mobility, making trekking easier. It should be Synthetic so that it gets dry quickly when wet.
  10. Rain Wear– you can carry a raincoat or Poncho. During long rains and snowfalls, the waterproof jackets start leaking. Still, the Poncho and raincoats keep you dry, so choose accordingly.

Tip: If you choose a raincoat on your trek, carry a small waterproof cover so things inside your backpack can’t get wet. If you carry a Poncho, you don’t need to worry. It protects both you and your backpack.

Foot Gears

When it comes to planning a trek, one of the most important aspects is to ensure that you have the right kind of foot gear.

  1. Trekking shoes which are waterproof and have ankle support. Walking / Hiking sandals which can be used off the trek, i.e., in the morning and evening hours when you reach the campsite, basically to get your feet rest from heavy boots, sometimes used for crossing streams and rivers, it’s more comfortable and safer than crossing barefoot or wetting your shoes. Sneakers (Optional) can be worn for normal driving days or used around the camp.
  2. Socks– you should at least carry 3 to 4 pairs.
  3. Microspikes & Gaitorswill be provided by Trekup India when required. You don’t have to carry them.

You can strengthen these muscle groups by performing pull-ups or bodyweight rows and improve your posture and balance while carrying a backpack. Additionally, more muscular back muscles can help reduce the risk of back strain and fatigue during long treks, making your journey safer and more comfortable.

3. Core Exercises

Core exercises like planks and Russian twists can help strengthen the core muscles, which are crucial for maintaining stability and balance while trekking on uneven terrain. 

a. Planks

Targets: Abdominals, obliques, and lower back.

Benefits for Trekking: Planks are an effective exercise that helps strengthen the core muscles. These muscles are crucial for maintaining stability and balance while trekking on uneven terrain.

  2. Clasp hands together and twist the torso to one side, bringing the hands towards the ground beside the hip.
  3. Return to the centre, then twist to the other side.
  4. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.

4. Full Body/Cardiovascular Exercises

Full-body/cardiovascular exercises like burpees and mountain climbers are excellent for improving cardiovascular endurance, strength, and agility. 

a.Burpees

Burpees are an excellent full-body exercise that targets your legs, chest, arms, and core.

  4. Perform a push-up.
  5. Jump feet back to the squat position.
  6. Explosively jump up into the air, reaching overhead.
  7. Land softly and repeat the sequence.

b. Mountain Climbers

Mountain climbers target the core, shoulders, chest, and legs. This dynamic, full-body exercise can significantly improve cardiovascular endurance and agility. It is an excellent functional workout for trekking preparation as it engages both the upper and lower body muscles while strengthening the core muscles.

How to Perform Mountain Climbers Exercises:

  1. Start in a plank position with hands shoulder-width apart and body in a straight line from head to heels.
  2. Drive one knee towards the chest, then quickly switch legs, alternating in a running motion.
  3. Keep the core engaged and the hips stable throughout the movement.
  4. Continue at a moderate to fast pace for the desired duration.

Incorporating bodyweight exercises into your training routine can help you build strength and endurance and prepare your body for the physical demands of trekking. Consistency and proper form are crucial to maximizing the benefits of these exercises and ensuring a safe and enjoyable trekking experience. Engaging your core muscles, including obliques, abdominals, and lower back, with Russian twists can improve your rotational stability and balance, preventing injuries and enhancing overall performance during trekking.

When incorporating strength training exercises into your workout routine, it’s essential to maintain proper form and technique to avoid injury. Start with lighter weights and gradually increase the intensity as you progress, focusing on compound exercises targeting multiple muscle groups simultaneously. Some examples of practical strength training exercises for trekking include squats, lunges, deadlifts, and pull-ups.

Remember to give your muscles time to recover between workouts, and remember to stretch before and after your workouts to prevent injury and improve flexibility. Combining strength training with jogging and proper stretching allows you to take your fitness to the next level and confidently tackle even the most challenging treks.
