The expedition
Overview
Thirteen days through Kumaon’s remote border country — from the sacred heights of Adi Kailash and Om Parvat to the hidden Darma and Johar valleys, Milam village and the tea gardens of Kausani — before riding back to where it all began, Haldwani.
Route: Haldwani → Dharchula → Darma valley → Nabi → Adi Kailash → Om Parvat → Dharchula → Munsiyari → Milam → Munsiyari → Kausani → Haldwani. A full loop of about 1,300 km, with a trek to Zero Point in the Darma valley and a night with a local family in Milam.
Important: this trip includes a few long stages. First aid and transfer to the nearest medical centre are provided by our support vehicle, as helicopters and ambulances are rarely available. Phone coverage is limited and satellite phones are restricted, so contacting emergency services can be difficult. As on any mountain route, road quality and difficulty depend heavily on current and recent weather.
