Lohajung (2350 mts, 7700 feet) is your base camp for the trek. Lohajung, in Chamoli district is in the interiors of Uttarakhand.

Getting to Loharjung: From Old Delhi station, take the Ranikhet Express that leaves at 10.40 in the night. It will get you to Kathgodam which is its final stop at around 6 am.

Indiahikes can arrange for a pick up from the Kathgodam railway station. The route to Lohajung is via Almora - Gwaldam - Tharali - Debal - Mundoli - Lohajung (many Sumo drivers may not know this).

If you are unable to get a ticket on the Ranikhet express, take a bus from Anand Vihar ISBT to either Haldwani or Kathgodam. You can negotiate a Sumo to Lohajung for around Rs 5,000. 

Alternate route: From Delhi get to Rishikesh/Haridwar and hire a Sumo to Lohajung. The route would be through Devprayag - Srinagar - Rudraprayag - Karanprayag - turn right to Tharali - Debal - Mundoli - Lohajung. However, most taxi operators may not have heard of Lohajung and so you'll have to show them the direction as given here.   

By bus: If you would like to save costs then a combination of bus and shared jeeps is a good option. Take the first early morning bus out of Rishikesh that is heading to Badrinath. By mid-afternoon you should be at Karanprayag. Get down here and take any bus to Tharali (any bus/jeep to Gwaldam will go via Tharali). If bus is hard to come by, take a shared jeep (available near the Karanprayag bus stand). Tharali is by the Pindar river and is about 44 kms from Karanprayag (2 hrs). From Tharali you get shared jeeps that take you to Debal. From Debal take another shared jeep to Lohajung.

There is a direct bus from Rishikesh private bus stand that goes to Mundoli/Lohajung. It leaves Rishikesh at 4 am. Alternatively there is a direct bus from Delhi to Mundoli/Lohajung. It leaves Delhi Anand Vihar terminal at 9.15 pm, arrives at Kathgodam at 4 am and reaches Lohajung at 5.30 in the evening.
