The sun began to shine directly and harshly in the midst of the trip, over 28 kilometers and 9,000 feet above sea level later. The river was screaming and rushing in the opposite direction, and the wind was blowing quickly enough to force me to the brink of the 2 feet wider path. Despite the fact that there hadn’t been a single person or animal in sight along the trail for miles.
One of the best treks through remote regions and breathtaking scenery in the Kumaun Himalaya range is the Milam Glacier trip. The Milam Glacier, which is located on the Himalayan range’s southern slope, It comes from the Kohli and Trishul summits’ flanks. It is a tributary of the Pindar River and the Milam River’s source. The route is also changed to go to Nandadevi base on the way to the Milam Glacier Trek. Nanda Devi East Base, Gauri Ganga, Lilam, Railkot, Mapa, Martoli, and Munsyari are among the locations on this tour’s route. The Milam Glacier Trek offers the chance to discover and take in the splendor of the Indian Himalayas. The Munsyari to Milam trek starts here. The hike features moderate walking on good trails through rocky terrain and charming towns.
