Rawal peak Day hike

Day hike to Chakha Meadow

Starting near the Kalpa–Roghi road, this trail follows a glacial stream upward through dense cedar and spruce forests before opening onto Chakha Meadows. The ascent gains roughly 800 metres — steady and manageable for reasonably fit hikers, worth every step. At the top, Kinner Kailash stands directly across the valley, close and commanding in a way that stops you mid-breath. The meadows are wide, grassy, and cut through by cold natural streams — a rare place where you genuinely want to slow down. An early morning start is recommended to make the most of the trail and catch the stunning views at the top.
