About the Trek
Brahmatal is a magical 5-day winter trek in Uttarakhand, celebrated for its pristine frozen lake and breathtaking snow-clad Himalayan landscapes. The trail offers panoramic views of Trishul and Nanda Ghunti and culminates at the Brahmatal summit at 12,500 ft.
Starting from the quaint village of Lohajung, trekkers pass through tranquil alpine meadows and dense forests of rhododendron and oak before arriving at Brahmatal Lake — often completely frozen in winter. This easy-to-moderate route is an ideal introduction to high-altitude Himalayan trekking.
