Brahmatal Package

Package Overview

Brahmatal Trek
Magnificent camping near frozen Lake of Brahmatal Trek.
Nothing lasts forever, not even the cold January snow. One peculiar kind of trek which comes to mind while talking about trekking under harsh conditions, deprived of many resources yet blissful experiences, is the Brahmatal Trek . It is an understatement to call Brahmatal Winter snow Trek, one of the most awe-inspiring treks in India.
Some precious moments make life worth living for us. Similarly, the frozen lake that’s part of the Brahmatal Trek is insidiously beautiful with the icy land proving to be an ideal place to camp and enjoy the timeless moments in life. The Brahmatal Winter Trek is still a hidden one and considered an undiscovered treasure, untouched by humans. The silent echoes of the ancient forests are so still enough that you can even hear the crackling of dead forgotten leaves beset on the snowy path you happen to traverse.
March and April, this time of the year appeals trekkers from across the globe and invites travel enthusiasts from different age groups.
The simple reason behind the gathering of about thousand people from the world is the views of the summits that stun the onlooker, and the breathtaking scenic views of the Brahmatal Trek, totally engulf the travelers. You may greet the crystal clear blue skies which encompass the whole horizon geometrically. Every side you ponder, you see the mighty Himalayas guarding you against the monstrously icy winds from the North. A regular day would include seeing at least 4 ranges 7000 ft. and above.
However, the Brahmatal temperature in December is astonishingly cold and is inconvenient for travelers to trek along this side.
View of frozen lake in winters
Emerging out of the forests, to reach the highest point during the Brahmatal trek and watching the sunshine over the snow-clad mountains can be one the one of the most eye-opening and self- affirming views that you can capture. While the pristine lake murmurs, do look forward to camping along its side on the snow. Pray that the sky is clear for it will be lit by stars that will glow brightly on the surface of the Brahmatal lake.



What makes this Trek different
Trekking to Brahmatal will give you many sites such as the view of peaks Nandaghunti, Mrugathani, Trishul, etc., trek through streams, conifers, peaceful hamlets, beautiful valleys, etc.
Several trekking routes to explore are a perfect place to capture the stretching sky’s breathtaking view and those fields covered with white snow. This trek is just opposite to the famous Roopkund trek, which is one of the most attractive factors.

What makes this tour very interesting
› No high-altitude mountain sickness due to coming near to the forest region. And this is an easy trek as compared to others.
› The trail isn’t that abrupt and sheer in comparison to different treks. So, beginners, families, and students can easily try this trek.
› You were given to see such a lot of heavenly bodies at one location like the panoramic view of the Himalayan ranges, meadows, lakes, pine forests, an extraordinary variety of flora and fauna surpassing via bona fide Garhwali history and Kumauni and valleys of Chivalric mountain ranges
› During the wintry weather season, this fascinating Brahmatal trek remains protected in snow and the white sheet of snow makes it appear to be a magical wide snow-land.

Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : Rishikesh To Lohajung

  The journey uphill from Rishikesh to Lohajung will take you cruising through mountain of Garhwal. This is going to be a hectic 8 hour drive, despite the marvellous changing vistas of the mountains. For the first few hours, the course of our journey will be running parallel to river Kosi, flowing softly. Soon, a blustery Pindar river will meet our path.

• Day 2 : Lohajung to Bekaltal

  The first day’s trek spanning 5 hours will kick off from Lohajung up a snaky trail going into the forest. After a short while the forest will give way to a small village named Mandoli to your left. Here you can fill your bottles and take a first major hiatus. The trail continues in mostly gradual ascent curves. A little way higher, you will come across the valley where two mountain rivers Kali and Pindari confluence. This is the Kali valley, lying in a splendid green scrap even in the midst of wintry heights. We will trek on further to stumble upon a huddle of mud huts. You are going to find a grove of rhododendron here that sure grows red and heavy from February to March, but at the peak of winter, the trail will be pretty matte.
