Brahmatal Trek

Brahmatal Trek is a celestial lake located 3,444 meters above sea level, hidden in the Himalayan meadows. The summit of Brahmatal Trek is at 3,718 meters. During winter, from December to March, Brahmatal Lake is entirely frozen. All trekking routes to Brahmatal have snow-covered trails, and the summit crown of Brahmatal is snow-capped. Trekkers can easily reach the snow-covered peak of Brahmatal without difficulty. 

During the trek, you may encounter a variety of wildlife, including Barasingha and Himalayan foxes, White bear, Himalayan wild goat (Black & white), Ibex/Thar, as well as Himalayan wild goat (Black & White), Ibex/Thar, which licks the mountain slopes to disperse medicinal juice of Shilajeet, Katukki… Monal, an effervescent Bird in Uttarakhand, welcomes you into the mountains with feathers in a rainbow palette. These encounters with nature’s wonders make the trek even more memorable. 

Since the beginning of time, Lord Brahma has considered Brahmatal his abode for meditation. Brahmatal confirms the form of Brahmkamal, the primordial flower in the Himalayan region of Uttarakhand. Brahmatal is located in Chamoli Garhwal. The Brahmatal Lake is surrounded by Deodar, Rhododendron, Thuner (Taxus Baccata), Khorsu, etc., ensuring that there is always enough oxygen. 

Summer is also a great time to stroll through this beautiful valley, with its lush green vegetation. At this time of year, animals venture to the plateau to graze on the Himalayan wet grassland. The elusive land of Brahmatal is a place where every traveller feels a close connection to other famous Himalayan summits throughout the year. Upper Kunji’s meadow is a great alternative grazing area for brave farmer travellers. Upper Kuji remains a hidden treasure trove of Himalayan serenity for trekkers and locals alike. 

Brahmatal, a lake tucked away in the deepest parts of Brahmatal, is steeped in the mythos Uttarakhand Himalayas. Brahmatal is a rare Himalayan destination that can be reached by trekking in December, January and February. The landscapes change from dark and shadowy oak forests and rhododendrons to snow-covered meadows, lakeside camping near Bekaltal, and spectacular high peaks glimmering against a brilliant sky. What sets this trek apart is the rare opportunity to view colossal ice-capped peaks such as Mt. Nanda Ghunti, which are rarely found on other treks. Mt. Trishul, a low-lying trek, can also be viewed from here, adding to the trek’s unique appeal.

The gradual ascent of rolling hills, the steep slopes, and the thrill of the unknown are what make the Brahmatal Trek so exciting. This route is suitable for both beginners and experienced trekkers, offering a unique adventure in the heart of the Himalayas. The trek is mainly under forest cover, which reduces the risk of altitude sickness. It will provide you with a thrilling winter experience, with the sweet, mellow sound of falling snow, a fantastic trail, and the silence of the oaks and rhododendrons. This trek is a perfect choice for shutterbugs, as it offers diverse frames such as snow-laden forests, white-gold high peaks in Alpenglow, and an alpine mountainscape of a single tree perched on the icy shores of the Brahmatal Lake.

Brahmatal Trek offers breathtaking views of mountain ranges such as Chaukhambha, Deoriatal Chandrashila, Bandarpoonch, and Dayara Bugyal, making it one of the best treks in the Himalayas. The view of the white wall of the Trishul massif on the second day of the trek is unbeatable. As you climb the ridge towards Jhandi Top, these views are closer. From Jhandi Top, you get a central view of the mountain range, with Mt Trishul to your left and Mt Nanda Ghunti to your right. The Ronti Saddle, which connects Mt Trishul to Mt Nanda Ghunti, is also visible from here.

As you trek, the majestic Mt Trishul and Mt Nanda Ghunti guide your path, and their towering presence is a constant reminder of the awe-inspiring nature of the Himalayas. The trek’s highest point can be accessed from the side facing either of these giants, adding to the sense of adventure and wonder. This trek is truly a gem among the top treks, offering stunning mountain views that will leave you breathless.

Know Everything About Acute Mountain Sickness

Acute Mountain Sickness is a medical condition that can occur when individuals travel to high altitudes, typically above 8,000 feet. It is caused by the decrease in air pressure and oxygen levels in the air as altitude increases. Symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness may include headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and difficulty sleeping. To avoid Acute Mountain Sickness, it is important to gradually adjust to high altitudes and seek medical attention if symptoms worsen. To learn more about this condition, check out the videos by Trekup India.

The journey will begin at Rishikesh. Our transport manager will meet you at ISBT Rishikesh at 6:15 AM and drive you to Lohajung, which is the village where we will start our hike. Lohajung is located in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand and is about 250 kilometers away from Rishikesh. The journey to Lohajung takes between 10 and 11 hours and transportation is provided by Trekup India in either Bolero, Tata Sumo or traveller vehicles. Once you arrive at Lohajung, rooms will be allocated in the guesthouse.

The drive from Rishikesh will take you along mountain roads where, on clear days, you can glimpse the Garhwal Himalayas from a distance. Along the way, you will enjoy a peaceful landscape accompanied by the River Ganga. During the drive, you will come across the three main holy confluences in the country: Devprayag, Rudraprayag, and Karanprayag. Devprayag is the site where the Alakananda River merges with the Bhagirathi River, resulting in distinct teal and turquoise hues. Srinagar is another town you will pass through before reaching Rudraprayag, where the Mandakini River meets the Alakananda River. About 33 kilometers away from Rudraprayag is the third confluence, Karanprayag, where the Mandakini River meets the Pindar River.

Lohajung is situated close to the magnificent Nanda Ghunti peak. If we reach the peak before sunset, you will be able to catch stunning sunsets over the mountain’s peak and paint it with stunning shades. There’s an interesting folklore related to the name of the village. The locals claim that Goddess Parvati had a “jung” (war which means war in Hindi) with the demon Lohasur, which is where the village gets its name from. Lohajung is home to a small market, where you can purchase trekking gear and other essentials that may be helpful for your journey.

Lohajung is a town situated at the top of the mountain; therefore, you should expect the weather to get cold, particularly at night, and it could also be rainy and foggy depending on the season. Bring appropriate clothes to allow you to adjust to the changing weather.

What should you pack for the Brahmatal Trek

Ali Brahmatal Trek is a high-altitude trek. The trekking gear you have to have for this particular trek differs from normal treks. Thus, read this whole segment. There is an important question that the trekker who is doing trek asks, like what all things to carry while trekking. Below, we have provided the details on everything you should take; an easy way to remember is by Head to foot or foot to head. We have prepared from Head to foot.

Things to Carry, pack for trek

Head Gears

When trekking it's important to carry headgear to protect your head and face.

Heading out for Brahmatal Trek? Don’t forget to carry headgear to protect your beautiful face and head from the sun, wind, and dust! It’s an essential accessory that keeps you safe and comfortable throughout your adventurous journey. So, make sure you pack it before you step out into nature!

  1. Head Lamps are essential for the night, and most importantly, headtorchs keep your hands free while trekking.
  2. Hats or Cap– Cap will protect you from winds and sometimes freezing temperatures for the night. Hats protect you from the sun during the day and also ensure they have a strap so the hat doesn’t blow from the wind.
  3. Sunglasses– you will need specific sunglasses for trekking. The glasses should protect from UV rays, fit your face perfectly so it doesn’t fall while you climb, jump, or cross an obstacle, and be according to the weather conditions of the place; the glass should be made to fit different weather conditions.
  4. Buff / Balaclava– You must carry this to protect your mouth or neck from extreme temperatures and keep it warm.

Clothes

When trekking in high altitudes, prepare for cold weather by wearing layers. Layering traps heat, keeps you warm, and allows you to easily adjust your clothing as temperatures fluctuate.

Layering is important for different seasons when trekking to Brahmatal Trek. When planning a high-altitude trek, it is important to prepare for the cold weather. Wearing layers is the best approach as it provides both protection and flexibility when the weather changes frequently in the mountains. Layering helps to trap heat and keep your body warm, while at the same time allowing you to easily adjust your clothing as the temperature fluctuates. By wearing layers, you can enjoy your trek comfortably and stay safe in the unpredictable mountain weather

  1. For spring, summer, and monsoon treks, consider wearing three layers: a woollen sweater, a fleece, and a padded jacket.
  2. For autumn treks, add one more fleece layer to make it four layers.
  3. For winter treks, you may need five layers with thermals, a woollen sweater, two fleeces, and a padded jacket.
  4. T-shirt/sleeve shirt– Bring three T-shirts and two quick-dry trek pants, wearing one and carrying the others. Long sleeve shirts help to protect from sun UV rays. We recommend synthetic T-shirts as they get dry quickly when they get wet.
  5. Hiking / Trekking Jacket– down jackets (-5 to-10 C) or two-three-layer jackets.
  6. Thermals– at least two pairs of thermals help keep the body warm during cold weather.
  7. Undergarments– you can carry them according to your habitual and hygiene requirements.
  8. Gloves– 1 pair of gloves will keep your hand warm and nice.
  9. Trek Pants– Bring 2 to 3 comfortable trekking pants. Trekking pants play a significant role, as they are designed for comfort and mobility, making trekking easier. It should be Synthetic so that it gets dry quickly when wet.
  10. Rain Wear– you can carry a raincoat or Poncho. During long rains and snowfalls, the waterproof jackets start leaking. Still, the Poncho and raincoats keep you dry, so choose accordingly.

Tip: If you choose a raincoat on your trek, carry a small waterproof cover so things inside your backpack can’t get wet. If you carry a Poncho, you don’t need to worry. It protects both you and your backpack.
