Brahmatal Trek
Fitness Regime for your Himalayan Treks (Comprehensive plan to make you fit for any trek in 4 weeks)
Uttarakhand is a home to various beautiful treks like Roopkund, Ali Bedni Bugyal or Deoriatal Chandrashila. Each trek offers a magnified view of big white mountains however, Brahmatal Trek steel the focus from all. It offers one of the most beautiful views of Mt Trishul and Mt Nanda Ghunti.
The reason is that, right on your second day of trek, massive Mt Trishul emerges of the beautiful rhododendron and oak tree forest. The mountain ranges close up to you as you traverse through the ridge towards Jhandi Top point.
You almost come to the center of the mountain view when you reach Jhandi Top. On a clear sunny day, the mountain range shines like a golden chain illuminating its sharp ridges. The highest point of Brahmatal Trek is Brahmatal Top which is at the height of 12250 Ft, which we will cover on the third day. A whole new set of mountains like Mt Neelkanth, Mt Hathi Ghoda and many more opens up to your left while Mt Trishul and Mt Nanda Ghunti stands on your rights.
The high point of the trek is the Brahmatal Lake which is considered sacred by locals and trekkers. It is the most calm and relaxing point of your whole trek.
