What the trek fee includes

Specifically, the cost includes the following:

The cost of transport from Kathgodam to Lohajung and return has to be borne by the participant. Indiahikes has arrangements with local transporters to pick up trekkers from Kathgodam railway station. The vehicles are available at the station from 6.00 am on the day of the participants arrival at Kathgodam. The vehicles are connected with the arrival of the Ranikhet Express from Delhi which reaches Kathgodam at 6.40 am.

The transport vehicle is usually a Sumo (6 people sharing). It costs about Rs 750 one way (could be slightly more or less depending on the number of participants in the vehicle). The money has to be paid directly to the transporter. Sometimes the Sumo is substituted by a bigger vehicle like a Tempo Traveller or a push back mini bus.

 

Train ticket booking: Indiahikes does not book any train ticket from Delhi to Kathgodam or return. Instead, for booking of more than 3 participants, the 3AC train fare is deducted from the trek fee payable. Participants have to make the train booking themselves.
