The Adventure
About This Adventure
The Pindari Glacier trek follows the Pindari river through some of Kumaon's finest oak and rhododendron forests to the snout of the Pindari Glacier at Zero Point (3,650m). Nanda Devi, Nanda Khat, and Nanda Kot tower above the glacier in a spectacular high-mountain cirque. One of Uttarakhand's classic and most accessible glacier destinations.
Highlights
What Makes It Special
Zero Point at Pindari Glacier — the glacial snout with the three Nanda peaks towering overhead — is a classic Kumaon Himalaya moment. The forest approach through ancient oak groves and the gradual reveal of the high peaks makes the journey as memorable as the destination.
