Prepare a light luggage for the trekking nut remember to carry all essential items. Since the oxygen content is low as you climb up the hill, it would be safe to carry an oxygen cylinder with you. A raincoat is a must since it rains a lot here. The trekking is difficult. The path is narrow with only 3feet width and it usually starts raining after noon. The weather is cold and extremely foggy and this makes it difficult to see around. So it is always safer to begin the trekking early morning by 6am.
The first 2km trekking is easier since the path is paved with cement. There are farms on both sides of the path. This is the first resting place. The next 4km trek is through forest area and soon you will reach a breath-takingly beautiful meadow with lovely brooks and lush green plants everywhere. The Rudranath trekking will be an un forgettable experience in your life.
