After a brief introduction and orientation about the trek, we will proceed toward the trek Base Camp, i.e. Lohajung village.

The changing landscape of forested hills, terraced fields, mountain streams, and charming Garhwali villages with occasional views of snow-capped mountains will certainly make your day. In route we will also cover Devprayag (one of the panch prayag), where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda river meets to form the holy river Ganga, Karnaprayag where Alaknanda and Pindar river meets, creating a magnificent view and the Dhari Devi temple.

After a comfortable and refreshing night at Lohajung village, Day 2 of the Brahmatal hiking trail itinerary will be marked as the actual beginning of the trek. Today, we will trek toward the Bekaltal - a high-altitude, beautiful alpine lake surrounded by dense forest and mountain views.

The trail today is steady with a moderate climb. Trails generally have a moderate climb with a few steeper patches. It will wind through the oak and rhododendron forest, which will keep on getting denser with gain in altitude. On the trails, you will also get occasional clearing, which will serve as a rest point and photo opportunity. After a short trek of about 2 hours, we will reach a wooden bridge crossing a clear mountain stream, which also serves as the only water source for today’s trek. It is advisable to carry 1-litre water bottle with you so that you can refill it from this source. A purification tablet or a portable water filter is also recommended for safety.

As you continue to trek, the forest gets thicker with time, and you may also find snow patches at some places en route, depending on the time of the trek. Ultimately, you will reach near the Bekal tal, a beautiful campsite in the clearings surrounded by towering oak trees.

During winter time you may get the lake partially frozen, making it even more beautiful. Walking distance from the camping location, there is a perfect viewpoint for sunset and sunrise. Once you reach the camping site, you will be served with hot and delicious food, freshly prepared with local spices, at the camping location. After dinner, take rest and prepare for the next day's trek

Day 3 of the Brahmatal hiking trail itinerary will be the most awaited day of the journey. Today we are going to trek from the Bekal tal to the Brahmatal lake.

After breakfast, we will start our trek and leave the oak-covered campsite. The initial 1 -1.5 hours of the trek will be tough with a steep ascent. This section is physically demanding but rewarding as it will take you above the tree line and open up the field for the view of magnificent snow-covered mountain peaks and deep valleys.

Once the initial climb is behind you, the trail transitions into a more gentle ascent winding along the ridgeline and through open snow fields during the winter season. Beautiful view all around the trails with pin-drop silence, which was broken by the crunch of your boots and wind whispering along the slope of the mountain.

After an hour of relaxed trekking, you will reach the Telindi Top, a scenic viewpoint on the trail that offers a panoramic view of the Garhwal Himalaya. This point also offers a perfect view of Mt. Trishul and Mt. Nanda Ghunti, making it a perfect place to take a short break, take photographs and get soaked in the grandeur of the landscape.

From Telindi Top, there is a gentle descent to the Brahmatal lake, which remains partially frozen during the winter season, surrounded by snow-covered ridges and pine trees. Once you reach the campsite location, you will get enough time to explore the region, stroll along the camping site. As the sun sets, a hot dinner will be served under the sky, with the chilling cold wind.

We are going to start early at 6:00 AM after having a delicious breakfast at our camping site. The initial trekking trail is going to be steep from the Brahmatal camping site to Brahmatal Lake. During the winter season, this portion generally remains covered in snow, making it a winter wonderland. But trails are going to be slippery and challenging, so ensure you are wearing your crampons properly.

Once you reach the Brahmatal lake, you will have time for a short break and a photo session. After that, we will continue to the Brahmatal peak, which will take us around 2.5 to 3 hours to reach. The trek to the peak is steep and at high altitude. On a clear day, you may spot Mt. Trishul, Mt. Nanda Ghunti, and even some part of the Roopkund trek.

From the summit you will get a proper 360-degree view of the surroundings and snow-draped peaks and deep valleys. We will spend some time taking pictures here and soaking ourselves in the beauty of nature.

After a short break, we will start our descent to Daldum, which sits at the lower altitude of 9350 feet. There is no water source on the trail, so it is mandatory for everyone to carry a 2-litre water bottle with you to keep yourselves hydrated. You will reach the camping site by late afternoon or evening, depending on the group size. On reaching the camping site, you will be served with delicious food under the clear sky.

Trek- 4km | Duration- 3 hours | Altitude Loss- 9350 ft to 7600 ft | Difficulty- Moderate | Starting- Daldum (8:00 A.M) | Stay- Stay house (Lohajung) | Meals- Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

On the final day of our trek, we will give it a relaxed start at 8:00 AM after having delicious food and some fun activities at our Daldum campsite. Today’s trek is just a 4 km descent to the Lohajung village, which serves as the base and endpoint of the Brahmatal trek.

The descent is mixed with gradual and steep sections. Initially, the descent will be gentle downhill, but after some time it will turn into rocky and slippery terrain, especially due to the snow patches. The trekking pole will come in handy in this section.

You will reach Lohajung late morning. It’s a satisfying circle and the completion of the trek. On reaching here, you will be checking into the homestay. You will be served with a hot lunch at Lohajung. Then you have a half day to relax and relish your accomplishment. It’s also a perfect time to explore the beautiful Hamlet of Lohajung.

In the evening hot dinner will be served at the homestay, accompanied by chit chat with fellow trekkers in your group and a kind of formal goodbye to them.
