About this trek

Ranthan Kharak is a beautiful, little-known alpine meadow trek above Munsiyari, climbing through oak and rhododendron forest to open grasslands at around 3,700 m. It rewards trekkers with a sweeping panorama of the Panchachuli massif, Nanda Devi East and Hardeol.

Quiet, scenic and moderate, it is a perfect 3–4 day Kumaon trek for those wanting big Himalayan views without the crowds of the popular trails.

Packing list

  • Trekking shoes
  • Warm layers + down jacket
  • Rain shell
  • Headlamp
  • Water bottle
  • Sunscreen, cap & sunglasses

Safety notes

Acclimatise properly and carry warm layers year-round. Border-area routes need an Inner Line Permit and a registered guide.
