The first day starts with a ride from Chandigarh to Shimla. From Shimla, you will have to drive to Narkanda and then drive to Nirmad, which is the biggest village of Himachal Pradesh. After we reach Nirmad, you will have to cross the river to get to Baghipul where you retire for the night. The distance between Shimla to Baghipul is approximately 140 km. There are local buses and shared taxis which will connect you with the same. There are plenty of guesthouses and hotels in Baghipul to choose from.

Start early by taking a cab ride to Jaon, which is a small village and get ready for walking. We get the first glimpse of the Shrikhand peak from the village itself. The trek starts from Jaon and the first stop comes after 3 kms at a village called Singhaard. You can stop at Singhaard for some rest and refreshments. Then head out to your next destination, Barathi nala which is again about 3 km from Singhaard. Here you cross a bridge and move on to Thachru, which is at a distance of 10 km. This part of the trek is tough as the climb is steep. Here you have to climb the 80-degree steep land known as Danda Dhaar. This part of the trail is covered in Deodar forests. We reach Thachru and camp here for the night. During the yatra time, there are single/shared tents available. Food is also easily available at an affordable price.

This day starts at 4 am and have a sumptuous breakfast and start walking towards Bheem Dwar. The first 3 km of the trail is a straight climb from Thachru to Kali ghati. From Kali Ghati you get a 360-degree view of the mountains around you. From Kali Ghati you move on to Bhim Talai which is around 1.5 km away. This distance is downhill. You can stop at Bhim Talai for some tea and refreshments. After some rest move on to Kunsa. This place is surrounded by big waterfalls and has an enchanting scenery. The next destination will be Bheem Dwar, which is a place full of rare flowers and shrubs. Bheem Dwar is used as grazing grounds by shepherds. We will reach Bheem Dwar by the end of the day and camp there for the night. You can find multiple tents to stay and ample food.

This day also starts early, with your headlamps on you start walking and reach Parvati Bagh at the crack of the dawn. At Parvati Bagh you can find the rare Brahma Kamal. This place is just below the Shrikhand Mountain. You continue walking towards Nain Sarovar for another 2 km. This lake is considered to be formed by the tears of Goddess Parvati. This lake remains usually partially frozen. After a short stop at the lake, move on to our final destination Shrikhand peak. This part of the trek is quite tough as it is full of moraines. You have to cross many small peaks in order to reach the Shrikhand peak and soon reach Bheem Baiee where you have to cross many stone tunnels and moraines again. From here you can see the peak clearly. In about an hour you reach the peak and the enchanting views fill you with a sense of victory. After taking gazillion pictures, start to retrace your steps to Bheem Dwar, where you camp again for the night.

Start early and descend back to Jaon, where you can retire for the night at one of its numerous guesthouses
