Brahmatal is Uttarakhand's finest winter trek — a trail through snow-laden oak and rhododendron forest leading to a frozen alpine lake with jaw-dropping views of Mt Trishul and Nanda Ghunti. The summit ridge gives a 270° panorama of the Kumaon Himalaya.

The combination of a snow forest, a frozen lake, and a summit view of 7,000m peaks in a single 6-day trek is hard to beat. One of the best winter treks in India for first-timers on snow.

This is for you if…

  • Basic trekking fitness comfortable in sub-zero temperatures
  • No prior snow experience needed
  • Comfortable camping at -10°C with provided gear
  • First-time winter trekkers welcome

Skip this if…

  • Cold intolerant with no sub-zero experience
  • Expecting summer conditions or bare trail
  • Cardiac issues or altitude sensitivity

Carry good-quality sleeping bag rated to -15°C. Summit ridge can be icy — microspikes provided by operators. Leeches absent (winter), but frostbite risk on exposed skin.
