A trekking trip to the Pindari glacier can prove to be a
really refreshing and memorable experience. The glacier is formed by the snow
precipitating from the Nanda Devi and other surrounding peaks located in the
Bageshwar district in the state of Uttarakhand in India. This 3.2 km long and
1.5km wide Pindari trek has been a favorite destination of adventure lovers for
several decades. Being one of the most easily accessible glaciers amongst all
Himalayan glaciers makes it a suitable trekking destination for adults as well
as children.
The Pindari Glacier trek commences from Loharkhet, which is
situated at an altitude of 1,760m and ends at the glacier located at an
altitude of 3, 860m. The trekkers cover a distance of nearly 104 and generally
complete the trip in 10 days. During the course of the trek, the participants
get opportunities to traverse over various wild streams and boulder ridden
tracks that cut through dense forests featuring a wide range of rare Himalayan
plants, trees and flowers.
The mesmerizingly beautiful environments that greet the
trekkers along the entire route make trip even more fulfilling and
satisfactory. Upon finally reaching the zero point at Pindari glacier, trekkers
often get the feeling of being on top of the world. The sense of becoming one
with nature makes them feel relaxed and refreshed and encourages them to take
on the challenges of their life.
However, given the popularity of this destination, it is
advisable for participants to make prior booking with renowned tour operators
to ensure that they get the best out of the trip. It is also a good idea to
compare the Pindari glacier trek cost offered by different tour operators along
with the facilities included in their individual packages to ensure that the
trekkers get to choose only the best package. The best time to undertake this
trekking trip is the summer and autumn season, when the natural beauty is at
its best.
