Highlights Of The Brahmatal Trek
- Brahmatal is one of the few treks where two glacier lakes fall at a high altitude, with a trail of snow in peak winter.
- Camping near an alpine lake makes the Brahmatal trek a special memory.
- The trek to Brahmatal is easy to moderate, but if you are inexperienced in trekking, then prepare yourself mentally and physically.
- While driving across the mountain on a clear day, you will see the whiteness of the Garhwal Himalayas range in the distance, and the river Ganga will give you company.
- Along the journey, you come across the three major holy Hindu places: Devprayag, Rudraprayag, and Karanprayag.
- The Devprayag is the place where you see the Alakananda and Bhagirathi Rivers conflux. After that, in Rudraprayag, Alakananda and Mandakini merge together. The Kranaprayag conflux is the third place where the Mandakini and Pindar River conflux happened.
- The Brahmatal Trek is covered with heavy forest, and folk tales revolve around each passing village. The white carpet of snow gives you one of nature’s love and coziness.
- Reaching Lohajung before sunset, your eye catches a beautiful sunset on the mountain peaks and the painting in the sky. Lohajung brings two majestic Himalayan range views of Mt Trishul and Mt Nanda Ghunti peaks.
