Overview
The most lucrative method to find your way back to yourself is by travelling. Having a journey that sets you free. A Newfound land discovery that helps you discover those travelling parts of you. That’s what HikerWolf specializes in, helping you to discover all the hidden, secluded routes to places that will make you feel brand-new by the end of the trip and our one such trip is the mighty Brahmatal trek. Somewhere between the bottom of the climb and the summit is the answer to the mystery of why HikerWolf loves to climb. Daunting snow-capped mountains of the Himalayas, the scenic view from Brahmatal trek will definitely convince you to settle in Uttrakhand. Let’s embark on a journey together to a place so close to our hearts and so beautiful for our IG feed.
Itinerary
Upon your arrival at Haridwar early morning (report at 6:00 am), HikerWolf will pick you from the railway station or bus stand at 6:30 am and we will be travelling whole day towards Lohajung.
By early evening, we will reach Lohajung where we will be overnight staying in a guest house.
Before we could begin the summit, have some breakfast. We’ll commence the trip to Bekaltal.
En route, let your eyes enjoy some awe-inspiring views of Nandaghunti Peak.
Trek through the forests of oaks and firs. Conclude a 4-5 hours long trek to reach Bekaltal. We’ll stay in tents overnight.
Enjoy the snow-covered pathways that lead us to Brahmatal. It will take around 4 hours to complete the trek. The trails go through a forest and when we reach Telindi top, behold the enchanting views of the mighty Himalayas. We’ll continue to walk to arrive at Brahmatal or Khabekhal Lake.
Right after breakfast, get ready to climb to the top of Brahmatal. Tread along the tricky pathways which go through Chota Jhandidar and Bada Jhandidar. This trail is encircled by a mountain ridge with valleys on both sides. It will take 2.5 hours to reach Brahmatal Top.
Revel in the glimpses of magnificent Himalayan Ranges. Mt. Trishul is very close along with the views of Nandhaghunti. From the top, you can revel in the exotic views of snow-covered Himalayan Ranges.
Proceed to the next campsite in Daldum and the trek will take up to 3 hours to finish. Again, forests will be accompanying you through these trekking trails.
Today, you will trail back to Lohajung along the same path you took to reach Brahmatal. Once you reach here, check in to your guest house and take a rest. After that, we will explore the beautiful Mundoli village near Lohajung and visit a nearby museum or play cricket. The night would be lit with Campfire, Dance, and Music. Overnight at guesthouse.
Conclude the trek and depart to Haridwar early morning to reach there by evening.
Also, if time permits you may plan to visit Har Ki Pauri for Ganga Aarti. Trippers can make their bookings to their respective hometowns post 10:00 pm.
