Brahmatal, a celestial lake at 3444 meters above sea level, is hidden in the Himalayan meadows. The summit of Brahmatal is at 3718mtrs. 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, Uttarakhand. Brahmatal is located in Chamoli Garhwal. Brahmatal lake is completely frozen from October to March in winter. All trekking routes to Brahmatal have snow covered trails. The summit crown of Brahmatal is snowcapped. Trekkers can easily reach the snow-covered peak of Brahmatal without difficulty. You will find a lot of wild life along the trek route: Barasingha and Himalayan foxes, White beer, Himalayan wild go (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, with feathers in a rainbow palette, welcomes you into the mountains.
The Brahmatal, which is surrounded densely by Deodar, Rododendron and Thuner (Taxus Baccata), Khorsu, etc., ensures that there is always enough oxygen. Monsoon is a great time to stroll through this beautiful valley in lush-green vegetation. Animals venture to the plateau at this time of year 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.
There are many pull factors to this trek. 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. Because there are rarely colossal ice-capped peaks such as Mt. Nanda Ghunti, Mt. Trishul can be viewed on a low-lying trek such as this one.
The gradual ascent of rolling hills is what makes the slopes so steep.Brahmatal Trek This route is suitable for both beginners and more experienced trekkers. The trek is largely under forest cover, which reduces the risk of altitude sickness. The trek won’t deprive you of a thrilling winter experience. It will offer you the sweet mellow sound of falling snow, an amazing trail, and the silence of the oaks and rhododendrons.
This trek deserves a special mention from the shutterbugs. The diverse frames include:
- Snow-laden forests.
- White-gold high peaks in Alpenglow.
- An alpine mountainscape of a single tree perched on the icy shores at the Brahmatal Lake.

Because of their stunning mountain views, some of our favourite treks are among our most popular. You can think of Chaukhambha, Deoriatal Chandrashila, or Bandarpoonch, Dayara Bugyal. These magnified views of huge mountains are rare. Brahmatal, however, is the best trek. This view is unbeatable.
Here’s why. You can see the white wall of Trishul massif from your second day as you climb out of oak and rhododendron forest. These views are closer as you climb the ridge towards Jhandi Top.

Why You Should Do Brahmatal Trek?
1: The Rhododendron forest extends from Lohajung up to Bekaltal
Brahmatal is a forest paradise with stunning walks. The woodland walks allow you to explore the ages-old forest of Oaks and Rhododendrons. The thing that sticks with me is the special section dedicated to Rhododendrons! From Bekaltal, there is an area that is demarcated Rhododendron forests.
The Rhodo forests provide a delight for the eyes. The branches twist and spin with different shapes. The trunks are generally clean and smooth. They are low and create a lovely roof in the upper part. They’re close enough to make a great shade of green over your head.
You can see this during the entire year. You will see the pink-colored roof if you are here between March and April. If you visit during winter, you’ll receive a snow-white carpet.
2 : The meadows of the ridge starting from Tilandi towards Jhandi Top
On the second day, you ascend out of Bekaltal, climbing up some of the most gorgeous trees, including oaks and rhododendrons. When you reach the forest summit, you’re intrigued and eager to discover what is beyond the trees.
It is a meadow you enter from the summit, and right in front of you lies a wall of mountains in white. If you have climbed to the ridge (which is in a parallel line to Ali Bugyal of the Roopkund Trek), You will be able to see magnificent panoramas across The Trishul range.
It is clear that you’re climbing to the top, but the sheer size of the mountain ranges that are so close is unique for Brahmatal.
From there, up to Jhandi, the top, is among the top ridge walks in our mountains. On the one hand, you will see the Trishul mountain range that stretches out. On the other side, you can see mountains with layers of ranges arranged in the order of height into Deval or Tharali.
You traveled through these villages to get to the camp’s base. On your right, just below Trishul, The range extends across the Roopkund trekking route. Every single landmark, every campsite, and each climb of the Roopkund trek can be seen from the Brahmatal Ridge. I’ve never stood at one point and then walked to another, and that is, in fact, the most famous of all treks like this.

Best Time To Do Brahmatal Trek
Brahmatal Trek in Winter
While most trekking trails within the Himalayas close during winter’s peak between January and February, Brahmatal is easily accessible. It is accessible between December and February, after that, until spring.
This is excellent as winter snow can be heavenly on the Brahmatal trekking, even though it does make the trek slightly more difficult. The experience, however, is worthwhile.
In the winter, the rhododendrons and oak trees bow to the weight of snow and give a feeling of Narnia to your trek. It occurs as soon as you depart from Lohajung.
Beyond being snowy, the scene of the frozen Bekaltal Lake is captivating. Being near it gives the impression that it is frozen. However, be cautious when you step onto the frozen lake. The ice may need more robust to hold your weight based on the time of year.
A different highlight of winter is the opportunity to camp on the snow in Tilandi, which is awe-inspiring for sunsets and sunrises. As opposed to the autumn months, these bright colors are reflecting off the white snow-covered landscape.
Brahmatal Trek in Autumn
The blooms you saw during spring will have died and disappeared in the fall, leaving behind a shadowy canopy of rhododendrons and oak trees. This time of year is when trees shed leaves and provide a distinctive crunch when you cross their branches.
Once the setting is in place, look at the mountains’ views. These are the best in autumn and are clearest after monsoon when the air is clear from fog.
This season, carefully watch the mountain Sandhya has mentioned in her walk guide. The ridge is along Ali Bugyal of the famed Roopkund trail. You can view the vast Trishul range rise above Asia’s biggest meadow from this ridge. This is a fantastic view.
As you continue up the trail, you’ll reach Jhandi at the top; stunning mountain views, including Mt Chaukhamba, Mt Neelkanth, and Mt Hathi Ghoda, open up beneath the blue, autumnal sky.
Then there’s another characteristic of autumn that needs to be talked about more: the sunrise and sunsets. They’re the most beautiful of the season in the fall. Particularly at the Tilandi camping site because it’s situated on a mountain.
The words are not enough, But be aware of the sun setting when you get to Tilandi. It’s an incredible spectacle. The sun’s rays splash vibrant red shades over the skies. The next day, get up early and observe the glorious sunrise from the opposite side.
Also, autumn is an ideal time to hike for those who enjoy empty trails. However, it’s full throughout the season. If you want a peaceful experience, try to find dates following the Diwali/Dusshera holidays and before the start of winter. Currently, the Brahmatal trail can be the lowest level of activity.
Brahmatal Trek in Spring
While Deoriatal-Chandrashila pops up in discussions about rhododendrons, only a few know that Brahmatal, too, is a charming trek to do in spring. The slopes are dotted by the rhododendrons (Buransh). The hills appear bright in spring, with Rhodos in bloom, dark pink, and crimson. Imagine this as a landscape of melting snow!
You will find them only during the hike. But you might begin to spot trees with flowers near Lohajung itself!
Then, when you set out on your hike, make sure you look for the section that runs between Bekaltal and Tilandi. When you leave Bekaltal, it is a rhodo woodland, and blossoming flowers create an overhang for the head of your trek.
Also, watch for rhodos after the hike in Khorurai.
To experience a truly magical moment, trek through Brahmatal in the early spring (March). To walk on snow while you view the blossoms in bloom, at this time, there is snow that is higher than Tilandi. As the seasons progress, it recedes towards the upper altitudes around the Brahmatal Lake, which is situated at 12,250 feet.
In mid-April, all of the snow that was on the trail, as well as around it, had gone to melt.
