Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 1

Delhi to Chaukori

Reach Kathgodam by train from Delhi, where our driver meets you. Drive from Kathgodam to Chaukori (about 221 km, 4 hrs 30 min). Check in at your hotel in Chaukori. From Kathgodam the road climbs past Bhimtal and Almora and follows the Saryu valley up to Chaukori, a ridge of tea gardens and pine at about 2,000 m. Stop for lunch on the way. In the evening, walk to the edge of the tea garden to watch the last light on the snow peaks. Overnight stay in Chaukori.

  1. 1

    Chaukori tea gardens

    Old tea estates on the Chaukori ridge, with a wide view of the high Himalaya to the north.

  2. 2

    Himalayan sunset at Chaukori

    On a clear winter evening the snow peaks from Trishul to Panchachuli turn pink after sunset.

Day 2

Chaukori to Munsiyari via Birthi Falls

Today's travel: from Chaukori to Munsiyari (about 96 km, 2 hrs). The road climbs through Thal and along the Ramganga valley to Birthi Falls, where a short path leads to the foot of the long drop of water. Above Birthi the road crosses the Kalamuni pass at about 2,700 m, the stretch most likely to have snow on it in winter; our driver knows where to slow down and when to wait for the road crew. Reach Munsiyari by mid-afternoon, when the Panchachuli peaks across the valley turn gold. Evenings drop well below freezing in January, so keep a thermal layer, cap and gloves at hand. Overnight stay in Munsiyari.

  1. 1

    Birthi Falls

    A tall waterfall right beside the Thal–Munsiyari road, reached by a short walk; a favourite tea stop on the way up.

  2. 2

    Kalamuni Pass

    A forested pass at about 2,700 m with a small temple, often under snow from late December to February.

  3. 3

    Panchachuli view

    The five-peaked massif seen from Munsiyari across the Gori Ganga valley, best at sunrise and sunset.

Day 3

Munsiyari in the snow

After breakfast drive to the start of the Khaliya Top trail near Balati and walk up through oak and rhododendron forest; in winter the upper meadows are usually under snow, so the guide decides how far it is safe to go (a fit walker needs three to four hours up). In the afternoon visit the Nanda Devi temple on its ridge, the small Tribal Heritage Museum run by a local family, and Darkot village, where Bhotiya families weave woollen shawls and rugs. If it snows, simply enjoy the white town and the views from the hotel. Overnight stay in Munsiyari.

  1. 1

    Khaliya Top

    Alpine meadows at about 3,500 m above Munsiyari with a close view of Panchachuli and Rajrambha; a snow walk in winter, done with a local guide.

  2. 2

    Nanda Devi Temple

    A temple of the goddess on a ridge a short drive from town, with wide views of the snow peaks.

  3. 3

    Tribal Heritage Museum

    A small private museum of Bhotiya life and the old Johar trade route to Tibet, with tools, clothes and photographs.

  4. 4

    Darkot village

    A village of weavers below Munsiyari known for hand-woven woollen shawls, pankhis and carpets.

Day 4

Munsiyari to Almora

Today's travel: from Munsiyari to Almora (about 197 km, 4 hrs). Start after an early breakfast and drive back over Kalamuni and down through Thal and Seraghat to Almora, reaching by mid-afternoon. Walk the old stone-paved Mall Road bazaar for Almora's famous bal mithai and singori, and if there is time drive up to Kasar Devi for the sunset over the hills. Overnight stay in Almora.

  1. 1

    Almora Mall Road bazaar

    The old flagstone market lane of Almora, known for bal mithai, copperware and woollens.

  2. 2

    Kasar Devi

    A small hilltop temple outside Almora on a ridge known for its calm and for wide sunset views.

Day 5

Almora to Delhi

A relaxed morning, then drive down past Kainchi Dham, the ashram of Neem Karoli Baba beside the road, and Bhowali to Kathgodam and the plains. Drive from Almora to Kathgodam (about 82 km, 2 hrs). Board the train from Kathgodam back to Delhi (about 276 km), and the tour ends.

  1. 1

    Kainchi Dham

    The ashram of Neem Karoli Baba in a bend of the Shipra stream between Almora and Bhowali.

Tour Overview

Munsiyari is a small town at about 2,200 m at the end of the road in the Johar valley, facing the five peaks of Panchachuli. In winter the town, the forests around it and the road over Kalamuni often lie under snow, and the mountains look closer than ever in the clear cold air.

Snowfall Tour: Late Dec 2026 – Feb 2027 (snowfall season)

From late December to February, western disturbances bring spells of snowfall to Munsiyari and the ridges around it. Between the spells the sky is usually sharp and blue, which is when Panchachuli and Nanda Devi stand out best. Days are short and nights go well below zero, so this trip keeps the drives to daylight hours and leaves a full day in Munsiyari for the snow.

This 5-day, 4-night package starts and ends in Delhi. The route runs Delhi → Kathgodam → Chaukori → Munsiyari → Almora → Kathgodam → Delhi, about 1,152 km in all. Choose how you travel: cab, train or bus. Every price includes 3-star hotels with breakfast and all sightseeing transport.
