Trek Info
Why Brahmatal Is A Must Do Trek
Trek that comprises an alpine lake is always a treat and when you can witness not one but two alpine lakes on the same trek, it is an incredible experience. During winters, while most lake treks are out of bounds, Brahmatal Trek remains accessible, allowing you to enjoy the serenity of the mountains and the glacial lakes even in the winters.
Brahmatal Trek is one of the most popular treks in the Indian Himalayas. A perfect blend of adventure and serenity, this is one of the unmissable treks. Brahmatal Lake is popular for its scenic beauty as well the mythos associated with it. Nestled in the nooks of Garhwal Himalayas, the trek lets you experience the varied Himalayan landscapes. From shadowy forests to snow-covered meadows and lakeside campsites, the treks offer many surprises.
The magnificent lake stands at 12000 ft. with Mt. Trishul and Mt. Nanda Ghunti towering in the skyline. If there isn’t too much snow, you can camp beside the lake itself, making for a surreal experience. Also, while Brahmatal is getting all the hype, let us not completely forget about Bekaltal, another equally astonishing Lake amidst the snowy meadows.
Sighting an alpine lake in dense forest covers is a rare thing and yet this trek offers two such gems. As you trek through the forests, the snow hanging heavy on the leaves and branches creates a dreamy setting. While this is a fairly new trek, owing to its beauty and charm it has become immensely popular. Another great thing about this trek is that it is suitable both for experienced as well as a beginner or not-so-experienced trekkers.
About The Trek
A jewel in the Himalayas, the Brahmatal Lake remains beautifully covered in blankets of snow and offers stunning views of the Garhwal Himalayas. A perfect trek for thrill-seekers and nature-lovers alike, Brahmatal Trek offers ample opportunities to acquaint yourself with the profound natural presence that is the Himalayas.
The trek takes you through pleasant valleys, quaint hamlets, gushing streams, and forest covers with an unparalleled Himalayan view. The trek starts at Lohajung and traverses through Bekaltal, the first glacial lake that you will encounter on the trek, Brahmatal, Brahmatal Pass, Tilandi top, and again ends at Lohajung over 6 Days.
A perfect specimen of a winter trek, you will tread along blankets of snow under pine covers with might Himalayan peak views keeping you company. The trek is equally beautiful in spring as well. Our trek leaders are mountaineer certified and accompany you along the trek to ensure that you have a safe trekking experience keeping it as comfortable as possible.
We offer comfortable vehicles to transfer you from Rishikesh to Lohajung and from Lohajung to Rishikesh. Our local guides will also entertain you with many fun facts and folklores associated with the treks. The entire team of TTH makes sure that you have a wonderful experience in the mountains.
What Can You Expect At The Trek
The maximum altitude of the Brahmatal Trek is 12,200 ft and is graded as an easy to moderate trek. This means that you will have longer trekking days than an easy trek with a few steep climbs throughout the trek. However, there are no technical sections. The trek includes both ascents and descents and while it is suitable for beginners and less experienced trekkers, the snow on the trail can increase the difficulty of the trek. Trekking in snow requires a good deal of endurance, which is why we recommend being physically fit and preparing for the trek well in advance.
We chose the trek route to give you the best possible experience of the trek. When you are booking a trek with Trek The Himalayas, you are booking for an incredible experience that extends beyond the trek. The itinerary of the trek is a tireless effort of our team to allow you an immersive and transformative experience.
In spring (March – April) temperature during the day daytime remains between 15 – 20 degrees C and can drop drastically at night, hovering around 1 – 5 degrees C. In autumn (mid-Sep to mid-Oct), its a pleasant temperature between 13 – 18 degrees C during daytime and can drop to as low as -3 degrees C during the night. Winter (Dec – Jan) brings a lot of snow and during the day its 8 – 12 degrees C and at night it can fall to as low as -8 degrees C. At high altitude camps, the temperature is usually very low, which is why we recommend dressing appropriately in layers and carrying enough warm clothes to sustain the cold weather conditions.
Some sections of the trek may have hard snow, which can be quite slippery. Our team will provide you with microspikes if deemed necessary. Do not try to make a new path on the trek by yourself, land on the footsteps left behind by the trek leaders and previous trekkers. Our technical team are all mountaineering certified experts and will lead you and guide you in such sections.
At high altitudes, the chances of AMS are quite high, which is why the itinerary we curated for the trek is such that it allows you to acclimatize well. Yet we are always on alert for any signs of AMS in our trekkers. Our Trek Leaders are also Wilderness First-Aid Responders so you can be assured to be in safe hands throughout the trek.
Major Attractions
Brahmatal Lake
This is undoubtedly the major attraction of the Brahmatal Trek. The trek revolves around this glacial area, which although not very big but quite scenic. The Lake sits in the middle of Oak covers and in the winters, it becomes an undulating white canvas of snow. The lake is like a crystal clear oasis amid snowy blankets.
Rhododendron Forests
The beautiful Rhododendron trees with their crimson blooms add a lot of beauty to the scenery. These beautiful trees can be spotted in many Himalayan treks and the Brahmatal trek is one of them. The Brahmatal trek takes you through centuries-old Rhododendron and Oak forests. When in bloom, the Rhododendron decorates the trail with shades of crimson and pink and is an absolute feast for the eyes.
Mesmerizing Views
Brahmatal Lake Trek offers unsurpassed mountain views from Tilandi and Jhandi Top. So many Greater Himalayan Ranges welcome you once you reach the point. Keep your cameras at the ready, these are the perfect spot to capture the beauty of the Himalayas.

Note
The journey commences at Rishikesh. Our representatives will pick you up from TTH Head Office, Rishikesh (Tapovan) at 6:00 AM and we will drive to Lohajung, the base village for our trek. Lohajung is located in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand and is 250 km away from Rishikesh. It takes about 10-11 hours to reach the village. Transportation to Lohajung will be arranged by Trek The Himalayas in Tata Sumo or a similar vehicle. Reaching Lohajung you will check into the guesthouse.
From Rishikesh to Lohajung, you will drive across mountain roads, and on a clear day, you can see the Garhwal Himalayas in the distance. Drive along with a tranquil setting with the River Ganga keeping you company. Along the way, you will come across three of the five major holy confluences of the country; Devprayag, Rudraprayag, and Karanprayag. Devprayag sees the confluence of Alakananda and Bhagirathi River. You can see distinct turquoise and teal colors of two rivers merging together. Passing Srinagar, you will come across Rudraprayag, the confluence of Mandakini and Alakananda River, and about 33 kms from Rudraprayag lies the third confluence on your route, Karanprayag - the confluence of Mandakini and Pindar River.
Lohajung brings you face to face with the majestic Nanda Ghunti peak. If we arrive before sunset, you can catch a beautiful sunset on the mountain peak, painting it in incredible hues. There’s interesting folklore revolving around the naming of the village. The locals say that Goddess Parvati had a ‘jung’ (war in Hindi) with a demon named ‘Lohasur’ here and hence the naming of the village. Lohajung has a small market as well where you can purchase trek gear and essentials that might be valuable on your trek.
Lohajung is a high-altitude village so you can expect it to be cold, especially at night and it can also be rainy and foggy depending on the season. Pack appropriate clothing to help you adjust to the weather.
This is the first day of trekking and we will start from Lohajung to Bekaltal campsite. After a hearty breakfast, we will start towards Bekalatal and along the way, you will be greeted with mesmerizing views of Mt. Nanda Ghunti. Trekking to a coniferous forest of Oak and Firs, the trek concludes at the Bekalatal Campsite after 4 to 5 hours. You will stay overnight here in twin-sharing camps.
The trek to the Bekaltal campsite is 6 km long with a gradual incline. The paths are well-defined here and a short walk into the trail will lead you to the first mountain settlement, Mandoli. Mandoli village will be on your left as you tread along the trail. The trail keeps ascending gradually, twirling along the mountains, curving and bending along the way. You will be able to spot the Kali Valley, the meeting point of Kali and Pindari Rivers. After Mundoli, you will mostly walk to dense forests of Oak, Fir, and Cedar along with a distinguished amount of Rhododendron trees. The forest has a distinct woody scent. Late winter and early spring see the Rhodendron in bloom, adding blush to the beauty of the mountains. The trail remains blanketed in snow during the winter months.
2 hours into your trek, you will come across the next landmark, a 10 m long wooden bridge that runs over a stream. You can ration water at this water source. Crossing the bridge you arrive at Begum, a scenic and tranquil resting point. Nanda Ghunti dominates the skyline here and one can get amazing mountain views from here as well the splendid sight of Navali & Bagdi Bugyal. 20 minutes of further walking brings you to Gujreni and you will spot two streams here. Some trekkers also prefer to camp at Gujreni, we will move a little further and camp beside Bekaltal. Gujreni is also a great spot for bird watching and you may spot Himalayan bird species like Asian Barred Owlet, Woodpeckers, Solitary Snipe, and Blue-fronted Redstart here.
You are now at the last part of today’s trek. Trek for an hour and a half more and you will arrive at the grassy shores of Bekaltal. The lake is 15 minutes away from our campsite. Once the tents are set up, you can refresh and head to the lake in the evening. The Bekaltal Lake rests beautifully amidst an Oak forest and the still lake waters after the hike is a truly welcoming sight.
The Lake is surrounded by a dense cluster of Oak trees and the lake water remains brown all year round. The distinct brown color of the lake is due to a high amount of organic matter dissolved in the water. These organic matters stain the color of the water and it receives a brown undertone. Sometimes when the weather is a little chillier, a thin sheet of ice forms over the water. After watching a beautiful sunset from Bekaltal, head back to your camps where a delicious dinner awaits you at night. After dinner, sleep comfortably in your tent.
It’s a 7 km long trek today that will take you to Brahmatal. Traversing along forest trails you will arrive at Telindi top with the most enchanting views of the Himalayas and a further walk through the snow-covered meadows will take you to Brahmatal campsite. We will stay overnight in tents.
Start your day with a glorious sunrise view at Bekalatal and after a hot and savory breakfast at the campsite, get ready to trek towards Brahmatal Lake. It is a steep climb through covers of Oak and Rhododendrons, which slowly softens into a gradual ascent making the trek a little easier. The trail gradually descends until you reach the Brahmatal campsite. The initial steep ascent follows the dense forest cover as the Bekaltal Lake slowly retreats away. The canopy of the forest here is so dense that it barely allows any sunlight inside. The lake of sunlight in the region sometimes sustains patches of snow even during the early spring months. Walk for another hour and you will arrive at Telindi top, a viewpoint that offers expansive views of Mt. Trishul & Mt. Nanda Ghunti. Another kilometer from Telindi top is the Jhandi Top, a stunning vantage point that allows you to capture unobstructed views of the mountain ranges ahead. The wide-open skies and the mountain line in the distance are going to leave you awe-struck. You can also get a bird’s eye view of the entire trail leading to Roopkund from here. Jhandi top is the highest point on the ridge and from here on it descends up to Brahmatal.
On reaching the campsite area, we will pitch the tents and you can go for a scenic walk by the Brahmatal Lake. Brahmatal Lake is 500 m away from the campsite. There’s also folklore associated with Brahmatal Lake. It is believed that Brahmatal was the meditating place of Lord Brahma long ago and the Lake waters are dedicated to him and hence the naming of the Lake. Spending some time at the Lake, head back to the campsite area, and post-lunch retire in your tents. The night temperature can drop really low here, as low as -7 degrees C during the winter. So it is recommended that you dress warmly and appropriately according to the weather.
Get ready to reach the highest point on your trek today, the Brahmatal Pass. We will trek to the pass and descend to our campsite in Daldum. Walking through a mountain ridge, it takes about 2.5 hours to reach Brahmatal Pass. The highest point on the Pass unfolds exotic views of snow-covered mountains. Relishing the view, we will move towards the Daldum campsite.
Beginning with a steep ascent, you will arrive at the beautiful Brahmatal Lake 20 minutes into the trek. The Lake is settled beautifully amidst a clearing that remains steeped in snow during the winter months. Beyond the lake, the trail continues to ascend gradually merging with the ridge. Passing through Chota Jhandidar and Bada Jhandidar, you will walk along a magnificent ridge that slopes on either side. During winters, the ridge is covered with snow and our team will provide microspikes and gaiters depending on the conditions of the snow. It takes about two and a half hours to reach the peak and astonishing views of mountains welcome you on the top. It is a grand spectacle of various mountain peaks including Chaukhamba, Neelkanth, Nanda Ghunti, Kamet, Trishul, and Hathi Ghoda Parvat. It feels as if you are watching the mountain ranges on a theatre screen, it is such a surreal sight.
From this point, it is a downward trek to Daldum, which takes about 3 hours. The trail slowly retires into the valley below. This part of the trek is also covered with a forest of Oak and Rhododendrons. At the Daldum campsite, you will enjoy a delectable dinner before you retire in your tents.
From Daldum take the trail on the left to reach Lohajung. It\'s a short trek of 4 km and takes about 3 to 4 hrs. The descent to Lohajung takes place along a well-marked trail crossing a few streams and again through the forest cover of Oak and Rhododendron that you came along. It’s the same path that you came in initially. Crossing the forest cover, you will come across a group of shepherd’s huts used by locals to keep their livestock. Follow the stone-paved path from here, this path connects the mountain villages to Lohajung. Once you reach Lohajung, you can freshen up at the guesthouse and in the evening explore the settlement. Sunset from Lohajung is quite impressive as we mentioned before. So you can enjoy a nice sunset here and also head to the local market if you want to buy yourself a souvenir from the trip. A piping hot dinner will be served at the guesthouse. Have a good night’s sleep and we will drive back to Rishikesh tomorrow.
Today we will drop you off at Rishikesh marking the end of the incredible trip. Having your final tea with the TTH team, we will head out towards Rishikesh. Rishikesh is 210 km away from Lohajung and it approximately takes 10 hours to drive back. You will reach Rishikesh by 6:00 pm. The time taken to reach Rishikesh may vary depending on the traffic and road conditions. We will drive along the same mountain roads back to Rishikesh. From here on you can book your journey onwards or spend a few more days sightseeing around Rishikesh, Dehradun & Mussoorie. These are great tourist destinations and will not disappoint you.
At first you have to reach Rishikesh, after that TTH will take care of your further travel plan.

If by a rare consequence TTH calls off/cancels a trek:
At TTH, we almost never call off or cancel our treks. But in the rare event that we do call off or cancel a trek due to any unforeseen circumstances or natural catastrophes like continuous rain or snow, thunderstorms, snowstorms, landslides, floods, earthquakes, or any other natural calamity that prevents us from carrying out a trek in a safe manner, unforeseeable circumstances like local riots, curfews, pandemics, lockdowns, government orders, or any such situations that prevents a safe trekking experience, TTH will issue a voucher summing up to the same amount as your trek fee. The voucher can be redeemed on any of the treks over a period of the next year.
Note
In the rare event that TTH shifts a trek:
As we mention always, weather conditions at high altitudes are extremely unpredictable and can change at any time of any day. Also, situations like natural calamities or political unrest, pandemics and lockdowns, etc are out of our control and if an event cannot run under any such circumstances that we do not directly have control over then we will try to give you an alternative trek, which means your trek will be shifted from one trek to another, which will be safer and more favourable.
In these cases, a voucher is issued to mitigate the difference in cost between the two treks. You can redeem the voucher at any time over a period of one year from the date of issue. A refund fee or refund of the difference is not applicable.
