Brahma Tal Trek

Brahma tal is a lake nestling in the depths of the Himalayas. Winter sweeps alluringly on the slopes here, one can be steeped in mythos, making Brahma Tal one of the rare Himalayan destinations. Changing vistas, from deep and shadow forests of oaks and rhododendrons to snow-covered meadows, the alpine Brahma tal lake vicinity, and a climactic vision of fabulous high peaks glittering across a brilliant sky makes this trek breathtaking and adventurous. The colossal ice-capped peaks like Mt. Nanda Ghunti and Mt. Trishul are accessible to view on a low-lying trek like this trek is which is Garhwal Himalayas. Diverse frames, from snow-laden forests to white-gold high peaks in alpenglow, and a desolate alpine mountain-scape of a lone tree standing on icy shores of the Brahma tal lake make up the composition of this trek.

History of Brahma Tal

Brahma tal named after Lord “Brahma” and “tal” which means lake. The glacial lake is prettily perched in an opening amidst the mountainous region. While the lake sits in the centre its beauty gets more amplified by the overlooking peaks and the nearby trees on its nape.
