About the Brahmatal Trek

The Brahmatal Trek is a spectacular Himalayan winter trek in Uttarakhand, beginning from Lohajung in the Chamoli region. The trail passes through enchanting oak and rhododendron forests, scenic alpine meadows, and the beautiful high-altitude lakes of Bekaltal and Brahmatal.

During winter, snow-covered trails and frozen lake surfaces, depending on weather conditions, create a magical mountain landscape. The trek's high ridgelines offer breathtaking views of prominent Himalayan peaks, including Mount Trishul, Nanda Ghunti and Chaukhamba, subject to visibility.

With an approximate trekking distance of 28 km and a maximum altitude of around 12,250 ft (3,734 m), Brahmatal is an excellent choice for reasonably fit trekkers seeking a memorable winter adventure.
