Overview
DEV ROOPA TREK
The Dev Ropa Trek is one of the least travelled routes in the Himalayas, and as a result, it is one of the most breathtaking. The erratic journey into the heart of Chandrakhani Pass, with its rich Himalayan flora and fauna, highland meadows, and, eventually, the expansive fields of Dev Ropa, will leave one speechless. The walk is full of exciting experiences, the kind of which one may anticipate when travelling through the Himalayas. A few days spent in complete seclusion in the middle of the wilderness would imbue a person with an unadulterated reverence for Mother Nature. The term "descent of the God" derives from the words "dev" and "ropa," which together mean "god." The location of Dev Ropa is very much like what the name says it should be. The huge flatlands of Dev Ropa are as large as the various football fields, and there are a few teeny little rivers that wind their way across the area. It would be difficult to adequately describe the magnificent paths that we hiked on throughout the trip. An wonderful hiking adventure awaits those who make their way to the historic town of Naggar. The journey to the isolated town of Rumsu brings hikers through some of Naggar's most beautiful natural settings. As we climb higher, we make our way through some of the most old woods, which are filled with conifers as well as oak, chestnut, birch, and walnut trees.

After enjoying ourselves to the fullest at the summit, we start our journey back down to Kala Pot, where we will pitch up camp for the night.

It is a lovely place to hang out at for some peace and quiet at the campground.

The moment seems to have finally arrived as one takes in the sight of these elongated peaks that are topped with snow and these huge meadows that are decked with Himalayan vegetation. When you've finished your meal, take some time to gaze at the night sky. Tent camping is available in Bakore for the night.

We will begin the ascent to Dev Ropa, our most eagerly anticipated destination, today. After three challenging ascents, we will finally arrive at Dev Ropa.

The people hold this location in the highest regard as a holy site, and it really is a miracle, just as the name implies. Being positioned at such a height, one would be taken aback by how expansive the fields are. After getting close enough, have some refreshments and then go exploring. In the tents, night had fallen.

➽ Preparation for Trek
As you well know, the great Himalayan trek is one that requires careful preparation, a strategy that allows for enough flexibility to adapt to whatever challenges may arise.
Therefore, here are some things to consider before setting out on your trek:
⦿ Physically – You should start working out at least a month before signing up for a program if you want to be physically prepared for the rigours of a journey. Strengthen your legs by jogging and working out regularly to increase your stamina. To better acclimatise to the environment and increase your resilience on the walk, you should give up smoking and undertake breathing exercises twice a day. Engage in vigorous physical activity, such as playing sports, doing Yoga, or running.
⦿ Mentally –
Getting in shape physically is essential, but mental preparation is just as crucial for a successful walk. Take time to enjoy your regular activities, maintain a healthy diet and sleep schedule, and unwind before embarking on a hike. Predictions regarding the journey should not cause mental worry. Spend time with your closest pals to recharge your batteries and renew your spirit. Pre-trek preconceptions are unwarranted since the first contact with the other trekkers is certain to be a source of inspiration and energy. Conditions during the walk will contribute to the increase in mental readiness. The mental repercussions of physical disadvantages will not be ignored. So, when you hike, pay attention to different regions of your body and purposefully relax them. If you want to enjoy your hike, you should learn to loosen up a little, particularly in the hips. Think about your descent as a simple dance, and enjoy the natural rhythms that the path and your body can discover together gradually, whether you're on a flowing downhill route or a frightening slope. Try out a few new walking techniques to add some fun to your commute without worrying about getting somewhere in particular. Maintaining mental fitness mostly requires a willingness to relax and take in the journey, rather than subjecting oneself to undue stress.
⦿ Technically-
Get the right size hiking boots and go for it, from a technical standpoint. You should make use of 60 litres. To become acclimated to carrying heavy items, it is recommended to utilise a backpack on a regular basis. Get a hiking stick, a water bottle, some thermal socks, a fleece or feather coat, some long pants, a poncho, some flip-flops, and any devices you may need like a camera or a power bank (DSLR or digital camera).
