ABOUT
BRAHMATAL TREK
The trek to Brahmatal, a lake where Lord Brahma is said to have meditated according to mythology, is one of the few treks that can be done during the winter months when most trekking routes are closed. Lohajung, the Brahamatal trek’s base camp, is a small town with a lot of mythological significance. It’s important to connect with the locals and learn about the town’s history. These stories provide insight into the local culture and values. The Brahmatal trek, which is on the opposite side of the popular Roopkund, is a great winter choice. One of the many reasons to do this trek is to see the spectacular Himalayan range from the trail. Read More
DETAILed ITINERARY
Day 1: Arrive in Lohajung (7,650 ft)
Make your way to Lohajung. If you want to travel with us, we will pick you up from Dehradun at 7 a.m. and drive you to Lohajung. 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. By the evening, we’ll arrive in Lohajung and check into a guesthouse for the night. Lohajung, at 2300 meters, is also a small mountain pass that connects the Gwaldam and Wan sides of the mountain. Spend some time in the evening at Lohajung’s small market, which closes very early, or take in a beautiful sunset from the balcony of your guest house. Eat breakfast and go to bed early for a restful night’s sleep.
Day 2: Lohajung to Bekaltal (9,900 ft) – 6 km
Start your trek with a packed lunch after breakfast. Follow the climbing human-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 8 kilometers long and takes 4-5 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.
Day 3: Bekaltal to Brahmatal (10,600 ft) – 5 km
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.
Day 4: Brahmatal to Brahmatal Top (12,650 ft) & back to Brahmatal – 6 km
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 Brahmtal ( 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. Go back to the camp.
Day 5: Brahmatal to Lohajung – 11 km
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 and snow-covered trail. By the 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.
Day 6: Depart from Lohajung
It’s time to leave the beautiful Lohajung village by taking lots of memorable moments of life.
