Overview

Sandhan Valley Full Descend Trek – Samrad to Dehene (Complete Canyon Trek)

The Sandhan Valley Full Descend Trek is not just another trek—it’s a life-changing journey that helps you face your fears and reconnect deeply with Mother Nature. Known as the “Great Grandfather of All Treks” and famously called the Valley of Shadows, this is one of the most intense and unforgettable trekking experiences in India.

Inside the valley, sunlight barely reaches the ground. You are completely cut off from the outside world, surrounded by dead silence, towering rock walls, lifeless boulders, and icy water ponds. As you move through the narrow canyon, every echo of your footsteps, every rappelling section, and every splash of cold water sends a rush of adrenaline through your body.

This is not just a trek.
This is a 24-hour experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.
