#Churdhar #ChurdharTrek #Himachal
Date of Journey: October 2018
First of all I would like to say thank you to those who chased me to complete this video. I went for this trek in October 2018. I did upload a trailer of the trek in October 2018.
You can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/Cgihgqh1xYg/v-deo.html
After uploading the trailer I gave up the idea of making a full video of Churdhar Trek, because of low response and secondly I shot most of the video with my mobile so the quality of video wasn't that good. But then few of my subscribers messaged me couple of times asking me about it. So then after 2 years I went through all my raw videos again and tried making a story line of my whole journey.
The story starts from Panchkula (near Chandigarh), from where we start our journey. Initially our route map was
Panchkula - Kumarhatti - Solan - Rajgarh - Nohradhar
But, from Kumarhatti, we took another turn towards Nahan because of a lot of traffic. And then we got lost. After driving about 60 km, we realized that we are much much off route and then we took another route to Rajgarh (advised by some localite). After driving for another hour, we reached Rajgarh, finally at 10:30 pm we reached Nohradhar. We wasted almost 2 hours in this chaos. And next day we had to start our Churdhar Trek early morning. But it's quite okay as unexpected things are suppose to happen on adventure.
Next day, our D day starts. Nohradhar to Churdhar is 18 km long trek with an elevation climb of 5000 ft (1524 m). Nohradhar is at an altitude of 7,000 ft (2133.6 m) and Churdhar is at an altitude of 12,000 ft (3657.6 m). In other words, Churdhar is on higher altitude than Leh (Ladakh). So, now you can imagine how difficult this trek could be, especially when you are not acclimatized. Our aim is to do up down in single day. That means we would have to trek for 36 km up down.

We reached the trekking point early morning at 5:30 am and met our guide. Then we started our climb in darkness with torch in our hand. The feeling was quite amazing and adventurous. We knew now that the challenge has begun and now there's no turning back. Finally after trekking through the difficult terrain and after too much of difficulties, we reached Churdhar peak at 1:30 pm. For many this was the end of day but for us it was just the half of adventure. Now we had to descend down back to Nohradhar.
Well we made it back to Nohradhar by 7:15 pm. Honestly speaking, we were dead tired and our phone's & camera's battery were also down. That's why we could not record anything thereafter.
I would like to thank Sushil for accompanying me on this journey. And also like to would like to thank our guides Amarpal and Rajpal without whom we would not have accomplished this.
