- The well-paved path from Ukhimath to the settlement of Goundar travels through a forest populated with rhododendrons, oaks, pines, and maple trees. A few wild creatures and some stunning birds can be found in the vicinity. You arrive at your next rest stop after a short, easy hike, and spend the night there in a hotel, lodge, or tent.

- The journey begins in the village of Goundar and is initially gradual before becoming a bit steeper but still moderate later on.

- You can reach the little Bantoli village after trekking for 1 km from Gaundhar, where you'll see the unrivaled splendor of the Madmaheshwar Ganga and thick woodlands. The Madmaheshwar Ganga, or Mourkhanda River, which originates in Chaukhamba, and the River Madmaheshwari, which originates in Nandikund, meet here. The trail passes past this lush Bantoli town before ascending steadily to upper-Bantoli. Now, a difficult hike leads to the Madmaheshwar Valley's final destination, where the revered holy site resides.
