Daanda in local language means a hill top. So this location as the name suggests is located on a hill top having a 360 degree view of the surrounding valleys & snow capped Himalayan peaks. Dashrath Ka Danda at an altitude of around 2200 mts is located in the state of uttarakhand, very close to the spiritual town of Rishikesh.

This trek is an ideal weekend trek with the start and finish point easily accessible and not too far from Delhi. Also the trail is in a totally remote region with no habitation so gives one a complete wilderness experience. Distance to the top is about 7/8 kms and can be covered easily in about 5/6 hrs. Once on the top you set up campfor the night and enjoy the starlit canvas with a crackling bonfire. Set back the next day for Pav ki Devi.
