A simple day-by-day plan for this package.
Day 1: Haridwar to Sagar Village (The Base)
Pick up from Haridwar. Drive via the holy confluences of Devprayag and Rudraprayag. Reach Sagar Village (near Gopeshwar) by evening. Check into a local homestay, meet your guide for a trek briefing, and prepare your gear. Overnight stay in Sagar.
Day 2: Sagar Village to Luty Bugyal / Panar Bugyal
Start the 10km steep ascent early in the morning. Trek through dense forests of Oak and Rhododendron. Reach the high-altitude meadow of Panar Bugyal ($3,400m$), offering spectacular views of Trishul and Nanda Devi peaks. Overnight stay in Alpine tents.
Day 3: Panar Bugyal to Rudranath Temple Darshan
Trek 8km across the ridge through Pitradhar (The Point of Ancestors). Reach the ancient cave temple of Rudranath. Take a holy dip in the Narad Kund and attend the evening Aarti. Witness the sunset over the Chaukhamba peaks. Overnight stay in basic guesthouse/tents near the temple.
