Dev Ropa Trek starts at Kasol (Parvati valley, Himachal Pradesh), not in Kochi — so the plan below adds the travel legs, the time they take, and what they cost. From Kochi, plan to arrive at Kasol the day before the trip starts. An extraordinary offbeat expedition into the mystical "Garden of the Gods" (Dev Roopa) at 13,780 ft (4,200 m), as charted by Himalayan Hikers. Trek from the dramatic cliffs of Waichin Valley through ancient untouched oak and birch forests to Bogdan Thach.
