Vijay Top Trek Overview
Vijay Top Trek is an emerging winter and alpine trekking destination nestled in the Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, near the village of Sankri in Uttarkashi district, Uttarakhand. Standing tall at an altitude of 3,750 meters (12,300 feet), Vijay Top offers a spectacular 360-degree view of prominent Himalayan peaks including Swargarohini (I-IV), Black Peak (Kalanag), Bandarpoonch, and even parts of the Har Ki Dun Valley.
What makes the Vijay Top Trek truly special is that it’s still largely unexplored and untouched by heavy footfall, making it one of the best less-crowded treks in Uttarakhand. Ideal for trekkers seeking raw, untouched beauty and solitude in the Himalayas, this trail takes you through dense oak and pine forests, scenic high-altitude meadows (bugyals), and snow-blanketed trails during winter.
Unlike more commercial treks like Kedarkantha or Brahmatal, Vijay Top remains under the radar, giving you an authentic experience of trekking in the wild, with no artificial camps or crowds. The trek begins from Sankri, a quaint Himalayan village known as the base camp for many famous treks, and meanders through remote hamlets, thick forests, and ridge walks before culminating at the summit of Vijay Top.
In winter, the entire route is draped in fresh snow, making it a perfect beginner-friendly snow trek with just the right level of challenge. During summer and autumn, the trail transforms into a colorful paradise with blooming wildflowers, clear skies, and uninterrupted mountain views.
Whether you’re a first-time trekker looking for an offbeat Himalayan adventure, or a seasoned hiker searching for a new trail to explore, Vijay Top Trek is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.

Vijay Top Trek Detailed Itinerary
Distance: ~210 km
Time: 8–9 hours
Altitude Gain: 640 m (Dehradun) → 1,800 m (Khanyasni Village)
Route: Dehradun → Mussoorie → Nainbagh → Purola → Mori → Netwar → Khanyasni
Your adventure to Vijay Top Trek, one of the most offbeat winter treks in Uttarakhand, begins from Dehradun, a popular base city for Himalayan treks. Whether you arrive by train, bus, or flight (via Jolly Grant Airport), Dehradun is well-connected to major cities like Delhi, Chandigarh, and Haridwar.
The road journey from Dehradun to Khanyasni Village, your trek base, is an experience in itself. The drive winds through picturesque hill towns and remote Himalayan settlements. The initial stretch passes through the famous Mussoorie Hill Station, after which you descend into the Yamuna Valley and drive along river gorges, dense pine forests, and fruit orchards.
After Nainbagh, the route gradually climbs towards Purola, one of the last major towns where you can find ATMs and basic shops. Post Purola, mobile networks begin to fade, and the landscape turns more rugged and remote. From here, the road leads through Mori and Netwar, charming Himalayan villages nestled along the Tons River.
The final stretch to Khanyasni (a lesser-known village near Sankri) offers spectacular views of the Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, known for its rich biodiversity and peaceful environment. Unlike Sankri, which is often crowded due to treks like Kedarkantha and Har Ki Dun, Khanyasni remains quiet, offering trekkers a chance to begin their journey in true solitude.
Upon arrival, you’ll meet your trek leader and team. After check-in, you’ll get a detailed briefing about the trek, gear check, and some time to explore the local surroundings. Prepare for the next day’s trek as you settle into the peace of the mountains.
Distance: ~5–6 km (trek)
Time: 4–5 hours
Altitude Gain: 1,800 m → 2,600 m
Trail Type: Gradual forest ascent with clear paths and meadows
On Day 2, your trek officially begins as you leave the peaceful village of Khanyasni and enter the forested wilderness of Govind Pashu Vihar National Park, a protected Himalayan zone rich in alpine flora and wildlife.
The trail climbs steadily through thick pine, oak, and rhododendron forests, with the occasional clearing offering views of distant snow-capped peaks. The terrain is gentle and well-defined, making this part of the trail suitable even for first-time trekkers or beginners in the Himalayas.
As you gain altitude, you’ll notice the drop in temperature and the shift in vegetation – from subtropical trees to high-altitude conifers. The trail remains peaceful and far from commercial trek routes, making it a dream for those who crave a less crowded, offbeat trekking experience in Uttarakhand.
You’ll reach Sarutal Campsite by afternoon. This serene campsite is nestled near a hidden alpine lake or “tal” (which may dry up in some seasons), surrounded by undisturbed forest slopes. The evening is perfect for acclimatization, basic stretching, and getting accustomed to life in the wild.
If you’re trekking in winter (December–March), expect fresh snow on the trail and a snowy campsite, which makes this section a great introduction to snow trekking in Uttarakhand.
Distance: ~6–7 km (trek)
Time: 4–5 hours
Altitude Gain: 2,600 m → 3,100 m
Trail Type: Moderate ascent through mixed forest and open alpine meadows
Day 3 takes you deeper into the mountains as you trek from the tranquil Sarutal Camp to the scenic high-altitude meadows of Badang. The trail begins with a steady climb through dense forests of oak, rhododendron, and bhojpatra, gradually transitioning into wide open bugyals (alpine pastures) as you gain elevation.
This section is where the landscape truly opens up, offering uninterrupted views of surrounding ridgelines and distant snow peaks. The route remains untouched by commercial trekking crowds, which is why Badang has remained a hidden gem for trekkers in Uttarkashi.
In spring and early summer, these meadows are alive with wildflowers and lush green grasses. In winter, a thick blanket of snow covers the entire region, turning Badang into a white wonderland. This makes it one of the most beautiful offbeat campsites in Uttarakhand for both summer and winter treks.
You’ll reach Badang Camp by afternoon, with ample time to explore the area, relax, and soak in the breathtaking surroundings. This campsite sets the stage for the summit push to Vijay Top on the next day.
Distance: ~8 km (round trip)
Time: 6–7 hours
Altitude Gain: 3,100 m → 3,750 m (Vijay Top) → 3,100 m (return to Badang)
Trail Type: Steep ridge ascent followed by descent
Today is the most exciting and challenging day of the Vijay Top Trek as you head towards the summit of Vijay Top (3,750 m) — one of the most underrated trekking peaks in Uttarakhand. The day begins early to catch the best light and clear skies at the summit.
The trail climbs steeply right from the start, moving across undulating ridgelines and gradual open slopes. As you ascend, the landscape becomes more dramatic with snow patches (or a full snow blanket in winter) and panoramic views expanding with every step.
The summit of Vijay Top offers an unforgettable 360° Himalayan view:
Swargarohini I–IV towers majestically in the background
Black Peak (Kalanag) looms nearby
Bandarpoonch, Rupin-Supin ranges, and even parts of the Har Ki Dun Valley are visible on a clear day
The summit is peaceful and untouched — no crowds, no noise — just endless views and mountain silence. This is what makes Vijay Top one of the best lesser-known summit treks in India.
After spending some time at the top for photos and rest, you retrace your steps back to Badang Camp. The descent is easier, though you must tread carefully if snow or loose gravel is present.
Distance: ~7–8 km (trek)
Time: 4–5 hours
Altitude Loss: 3,100 m → 1,850 m
Trail Type: Continuous descent through forest trails, grasslands, and traditional Garhwali settlements
After the exhilarating summit day, Day 5 is a rewarding descent through dense alpine forests and open pastures as you make your way from Badang Camp to the remote and culturally rich Bhitri Village. The trail offers a peaceful and scenic route, with the sound of chirping birds, rustling leaves, and occasional glimpses of Himalayan wildlife.
This day introduces you to the rural charm of Uttarakhand, where shepherds and locals still follow centuries-old mountain traditions. The trail is lined with ancient trees, mossy rocks, and wildflowers, especially in spring. You’ll pass small grazing fields and water streams that provide a fresh, natural experience far removed from commercialized trekking routes.
As you descend to Bhitri Village, a hidden gem in the Mori block of Uttarkashi, you begin to feel the transition back into human civilization — but still far away from urban chaos. Bhitri, with its wooden homes and traditional architecture, offers an authentic experience of Garhwali life.
This marks the end of the wilderness section of your journey and sets the stage for your return drive the next day
Distance: ~200 km
Time: 8–9 hours
Altitude Loss: 1,850 m (Bhitri) → 640 m (Dehradun)
Route: Bhitri → Netwar → Mori → Purola → Nainbagh → Mussoorie → Dehradun
Your Vijay Top Trek adventure comes to a close today as you drive back from Bhitri Village to Dehradun, retracing the scenic mountain roads through dense forests, river valleys, and remote villages of Uttarkashi district.
The return drive is a visual treat, especially in the morning light, as the route follows the beautiful Tons River valley, weaving through pine forests and terraced mountain farms. You’ll pass through villages like Netwar, Mori, and Purola, known for their culture and architecture.
Take time to absorb the serene landscapes, local life, and memories of the past six days of Himalayan exploration. You’ll reach Dehradun by early evening, marking the end of one of the best offbeat treks in Uttarakhand — still untouched by commercial tourism.
