Dear Mates, Get ready for the Himalayas, as we
at Trek Mates India, bring for you a Trek to
Pindari Glacier in Kumaun
region, Uttarakhand from 24th September
to 05th Oct ’15.
Some
Information about the trek
Region:
Kumaun, Uttarakhand
Duration: 9
days
Grade:
Moderate
Altitude: 3353
Mts
Best Time:
April - June & October - November
Easier than most of the other glaciers, it is not
possible to have confronted challenges of Himalayas and not being aware of it.
A delight to be trekked to witness 5 km of length and 2.5 km of width, this
glacier is exquisite sight to revere. Even families can jointly take the trip
and find some time to bond under the refuge of "mighty abode of
snow". To look at this particular icy monolith, one has to direct his eyes
between Nanda Devi and Nandakot mountains and he would be able to witness the
beauty there. The glacier is also responsible for the origin of Pindari river
that flows to meet river Alaknanda and goes on to become river Ganges later.
The route generally takes from Bageshwar followed by song and Loharkhet before reaching Dhakauli from where the actual trekking commences. The route takes one through small villages namely, Khati, Dwali and Phurkiya. This is one opportunity to lock in for lifetime.
Reaching zero point of Pindari glacier is one thing, but
the return journey could be made more interesting by adding to the list
attraction like confluences of Saryu and Gomti, Bagnath temple, Bajinath and
kafni glacier if time allows, that too in the month of April to July and sep to
Oct.
