The trek from Mana village to Sathopanth-tal is tough and requires local guide. The ideal time to trek is from May to October. This route is trekked by very few people and requires porter to carry tent and food. One has to reach Mana village by road from Badarinath by passing Indian Army camp which is about 3km far. At Mana village you can find India’s last tea shop. You can only see River Saraswathi flowing for very small length here.
Trek from Mana village to Laxmiban is picturesque. One can see Vasudhara falls on the other side.
When you trek you will follow Alaknanda river (tributaries of Ganga river). At one place one can see the birth place of Alaknanda emerging from a glacier.
Trek from lakshmiban to Chakrathirth is little tough and one will pass by couple of water falls at Sahesradhara.  Enroute one can see Bhodhi vruksha which are found nowhere else. One has to get steep down to go near the Alaknanda River.
Trek from Chakrathirth to Sathopanth –tal is even tougher. But the beautiful view of the mountains alongside is breath taking. One can see snow avalanche happening some times.
Night view at Sathopath-tal is breath taking. There are no street lights and the view of stars are amazing.
Once can see Milkyway and can spot few meteorite too.
The view of Sathopanth-tal is mesmerizing which is in the shape of love. One can take chilly dip in the ice cold water.
One can trek to Swargarohini mountain . But climbing Swaragrohini requires mountaineering gear. One has to pass by Suryakund and Chandra kund.
If one gets up early in the morning, one can see golden glow of himilayas when the first rays of Sun kisses the mountains.
