About the Brahmatal Trek in February
Brahmatal Trek is arguably the most approachable frozen-lake snow trek in the Indian Himalayas. Spanning four days and approximately 22 kilometres, the route climbs from the basecamp village of Lohajung (2,300 m) through dense oak and rhododendron forests, past the smaller lake of Bekaltal, onto the snow-covered meadows at Tilandi, and finally up to the frozen Brahmatal lake at 3,850 metres. It is here that a spectacular ridge walk opens onto an unobstructed 270-degree panorama of Mt. Trishul (7,120 m) and Nanda Ghunti (6,309 m).
