Pindari Glacier Trek Package
The Pindari Glacier Trek is one of the most popular and rewarding treks in the Kumaon Himalayas of Uttarakhand, India. Nestled between the Nanda Devi and Nanda Kot peaks, the glacier sits at an altitude of 3,660 m (12,000 ft) and offers breathtaking views of towering Himalayan ranges. Known as the “Soul of Kumaon Treks,” this trail is perfect for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike.
The trek follows the Pindar River from its source at the glacier, through charming villages, dense forests of oak and rhododendron, and open alpine meadows. Along the way, trekkers witness spectacular views of peaks like Nanda Devi, Panwali Dwar, Maiktoli, and Changuch. The grandeur of the glacier itself is awe-inspiring, with its mighty icefall stretching across the valley.
What makes Pindari Glacier trek special is its accessibility and cultural richness. The warm hospitality of local Kumaoni villagers, the serenity of the Pindar Valley, and the unmatched natural beauty make it a must-do trek for anyone looking to experience the Himalayas.
