All AdventuresPindari Glacier Trek
Walk to a pristine Kumaon glacier beneath the walls of Nanda Devi and Nanda Kot
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.
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.
This is for you if…
- ✓Trekkers wanting a proper glacier destination without high technical difficulty
- ✓Good fitness for 6-day return journey
- ✓Kumaon forest and wildlife enthusiasts
