Brahmatal Trek

The Only Trek In Winter That Goes To An Alpine Lake

One of the top moments of a Himalayan trek is when you trek to an alpine lake. Unfortunately, in winter, most alpine lakes on our treks are out of bounds and its the most beautiful trek.

Yet, on the winter Brahmatal trek, you not only trek to an alpine lake but also camp near it. Getting an opportunity to trek to such a lake in winter is what makes the Brahmatal trek special.

When you stand beside the frozen lake at Brahmatal, you are already at around 12,000 feet. The setting is magnificent. The lake is in a crater, the waters crystal clear, a shrine sits beside the lake, and a lone tree stands on the far bank. And just beyond the rim of the lake, you are looking at two of the most beautiful mountains in our country — Mt Trishul and Mt Nandaghunti.

If the snow is not too much, we will camp just beyond the lake. The experience of camping in such a setting is in itself an experience.

While all the attention is on Brahmatal, let’s not forget Bekaltal, another lake trekker, fell in love with. Lower down, surrounded by thick forests and enchanting folklore, Bekaltal, too, is a wondrous sight. On treks, we do not find such big lakes inside forests. Yet, on this trek, we not only trek to Bekaltal, but we camp near it at Gujreni.

The forest walks on this trek over a carpet of snow are one of the best that we have. They are enchanting yet not overwhelming. You can see a distance through the forest, with snow hanging heavy on the boughs of the trees.

Also, each campsite on this trek is special. Look out for our campsite at Gujreni. Nestled in a clearing within the forest — it has become special with Beyond Hike trekkers. The Tilandi and Brahmatal campsite is our trekker favourites too.

Brahmatal is a relatively new trek in India. Yet, within a few years, it has become very popular. There is a good reason for it — the trek has almost perfect settings for a winter snow trek.

If you want to avoid the crowd, though, do the trek in January, February and March. The snow is better than in December, minus the crowd on the trail.

Brahmatal Trek is considered one of the best winter hikes that will sober up all Indian hikers with delectably snowy and white peaks.
