Short Trek: From Sari (approx. 6,400 ft), hike 2–3 km to Deoria Tal area (approx. 7,900–8,000 ft). Trail is well-paved, steady uphill; 60–90 minutes for most hikers.
Evening: Settle at a designated campsite/guesthouse near Deoria Tal as per local regulations. Sunset over Chaukhamba, hot dinner, and night sky viewing.
