Itinerary

Expect to arrive in Lohajung in the late evening, between 8 and 9 p.m. The path passes through the picturesque Devprayag and Karnprayag regions. Check into a guesthouse for the night, have dinner, and sleep early. Lohajung, at 2300 meters, is also a small mountain pass that connects the Gwaldam and Wan sides of the mountain.

Start your trek with a packed lunch after breakfast. Starts by climbing the man-made stone trail just outside of Lohajung. The route offers spectacular views of Nandaghunti Peak. The walk is mainly within a coniferous forest with Cedar, Oak, and Fir trees. Bekaltal (2750 m) is a lovely lake that is normally frozen in January and February. The trek to Bekaltal is approximately 7 kilometers long and takes 5-6 hours to complete. Bekaltal Lake is surrounded by oak trees and makes for a lovely camping spot. We're going to spend the night here.

Early in the morning, we leave camp and begin our trek to Brahmatal (3400 meters), where Lord Brahma is said to have meditated many years ago. Monal, Uttrakhand's state bird, lives in this area. Your cameras will be busy today with views of peaks like Trishul, Bithartoli, and Nandaghunti. Brahmatal Lake is a small body of water that is difficult to spot from afar, particularly in the winter when it is fully frozen. We'll locate a suitable camping location near the lake and set up camp for the night. Winters can be bitterly cold here, but our camps and sleeping bags can keep us warm throughout the night.

Today is a simple day. Since we will be returning to the same camp, you can opt to bring a daypack and leave your backpack at the camp. We hike to the top of Brahmatal ( 3846 M). On your right, you'll see spectacular views of the Himalayan range. Mt. Trishul and Nandaghunti are two of the most famous peaks, which appear to be so similar that you might be viewing them on a movie screen. Head back to the camp even though you wouldn't want to leave behind the picturesque of the top.

The glorious trek comes to an end on this day. We'll return to Lohajung via the same trail after taking in the best views of the snow-covered trail and mountains. By late afternoon, we'll be in Lohajung. This day could be used to relax as well as explore the small town and listen to the locals tell mythological tales and learn about their culture. The guest house is where you should stay

Early in the morning you will bid adieu to this wonderful town and head to your onward destinations
