Fachu Kandi Pass Overview

Fachu kandi pass, is a mountain pass that connects Sankri, a base for many treks in Uttarkashi, to the Yamunotri Valley, concluding at Hanuman Chatti. The pass compares to the likes of Hampta Pass or Sar Pass in terms of altitude, which is relatively low at 4,275 meters, but make no mistake, for this is both a scarcely trekked route, with virgin meadows along the way and unparalled beauty of the Himalayas in its full glory.   The trek starts from Sankri village following the route of Kedarkantha almost upto Juda ka Talab, The trek takes us to the rare ridge section of Phulara ridge, which in itself is a beloved trek within the trekkers community. We get to camp on the peripheries of Pushtara Meadows and even visit a glacial lake, Saru Tal before we finally crossover the pass into the Yamunotri valley.   The fachu kandi pass trek combines the thrill of these 3 treks, namely – Phulara ridge trek, Saru Tal trek and finally the pass, rising just above 14,000 feet. Furthermore if one has enough time, Kedarkantha summit can be added to the itinerary as well, making this very unqiue as you have the possibility of having been through 4 unique trekking routes in under 7-8 trekking days.
