Spend a week in the Kumaon Himalayas of Uttarakhand and explore the pristine snowfields of the Pindari Glacier. On this 7-day, moderately difficult trek, you'll climb uphill on steep inclines to reach an altitude of 12,300 feet. En route, you'll encounter the roaring Pindari Ganga River, forests full of rhododendron trees and the sprawling icy cover of the Pindari Glacier. Views of towering, snow-capped peaks like Mt. Nanda Kot and Mt. Nanda Khat greet you from the Pindari Glacier, truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience for adventure seekers.
The Pindari Glacier, located near the southern rim of the Nanda Devi National Park, offers a lesser-known and off-beat opportunity for trekkers. The trail to reach the glacier gives you the chance to hike over hard ice and view the vast stretches of snow-covered land. All throughout, peaks of the Nanda Devi mountain range extend above you, reaching into the clouds. The trail takes you through thick jungles, past small river streams and into barren rocky landscapes, making it a perfect week-long experience for trekkers.
