Day 2 Trek from Loharjung Didina (5.5-6.5
Hours Trek)
 Begin your Roopkund trek with a voyage to Didina
Village through the iron bridge of Raun Bagad
built over the Neel Ganga River. There are two
routes to trail to this bridge. The first option
is the route that is a moderate trek going
downhill and cutting through a variety of lush
thickets till Raun Bagad. The other option is
taking the route through Wan from where the
village of Kulling is only 6km away followed by a
steep climb to Raun Bagad. From the two routes,
the former is more picturesque with regard to the
forested region that you come across while the
latter is easier to traverse. One you arrive at
the iron bridge, climb uphill for about an hour
and a half to reach Didina village.
