About Rupin Supin Trek
An offbeat Himalayan gem — forests, meadows, remote villages & a panoramic summit
The Rupin Supin Trek is one of Uttarakhand's most beautiful offbeat Himalayan adventures, offering trekkers a perfect blend of forests, meadows, mountain ridges, remote villages, and stunning summit views.

The Trek Route – Forests, Thach & High Ridges
Covering approximately 32 to 35 kilometers over six days, the trek takes participants through dense oak, deodar, and rhododendron forests, beautiful alpine meadows locally known as "Thach," and scenic Himalayan landscapes that change dramatically with altitude. The trek begins with a scenic drive from Dehradun to Khanyisani Base Camp, passing through beautiful mountain roads, river valleys, pine forests, and traditional Himalayan settlements.
Vijay Top – The Panoramic Summit
One of the major highlights is Vijay Top, the highest point of the journey at an elevation of 3,800 meters (12,467 feet). From the summit, trekkers can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the majestic Swargarohini and Bandarpoonch ranges. The sunrise and sunset views from the surrounding ridgelines create unforgettable moments for photographers and adventure enthusiasts alike.
