Kumaon Himalayas, Uttarakhand 2018
The trek begins with an easy climb from Munsyari, but gradually it gets tougher as soon as it reaches Bugdiyar. The trekking trail passes through the extensive meadows, deep valleys, ancient villages, gorges and high altitude glaciers. The trek also traverses through an old trade route, cuts through moraine fields, thick forests and offers a view that is splendid in all senses.
The trail to the Nanda Devi East camp is certainly very impressive, and when we blend it with historical background, it certainly makes it to the best trek of India. This particular part of Nanda Devi has always attracted many climbers and mountaineers, many of them clandestine to approach Nanda Devi Peak.
