Brahmatal Trek

One needs to reach Lohajung which is the initial base for starting the trek. We have kept the pickup point from Dehradun which is around 300 km away. One can enjoy the small mountain ranges from here on in Dehradun. You need to make sure to reach the bus stand prior to 10-15 min so as to not miss the trip. Enjoy the beautiful curvy roads sided by arrays of Deodar, Pine, oak trees and so more. The roads lead you to a heaven full of peaky mountains. You will be lucky enough to enjoy the snow-covered massifs if you are planning to make a trip in the winters as it has a lot to deliver and imprint in your mind. The many curvy streams of rivers seen from the top view and the gorges look magnificent giving you a chilled vibe to redesign your mind in a new way. We will be covering both the Kumaon as well as the Garhwal region along the way from Dehradun to Lohajung.
Once you reach Lohajung, you will be staying here for the night to get enough rest before starting your trek the next morning. You will be reaching by the afternoon or evening time only. Think of it as a chance to enjoy the accompany of the locals. You will be more than joyful to enjoy their warm behaviour. If you get the chance, always grab the opportunity to enjoy the ancient running history from the old people who love sharing their stories over a ‘Garma – Garam Chai’. Make sure to sleep early as you need to start your trekking by 9:00 AM the next day after your Breakfast. Have a Good Night Sleep and remember to withdraw Cash from here itself as you won’t be getting neither network nor an ATM after this.

On Day 2, after the completion of your breakfast and sightseeing the nearby tourist spots you will start your trekking which is a 6.3km trek taking around 4-5 hours till BEKALTAL via the MANDOLI village . Enjoy the picturesque path that you’ve always dreamt of trekking enjoying the sequel of tranquillity and excitement taking over the body. Let NANDAGHUNTI mountains accompany you showing off it’s the best view all the way. You will be awestruck by the beautiful old and twisted hands of the ageing Rhododendrons forming a layer of canopy over your head. Though curvy and dangerous if not taken care of yet the excitement-filled inside you would make feel walking down an aisle. Be ready for your first base camp at this place. Enjoy the fun and laughter with your co-mates with a warm bonfire and a good meal followed by certain entertainments.

Day 3, calls for the next most exciting trek, i.e. the Brahmatal Trek which is again an approx 8km trek taking about 4-5 hours. Trekking along the magnificent lush green forests covered with snow, steep trails gearing up the trek to a different level, where the Telindi Top awaits for your arrival with a wide view of the enchanting Himalayas. Get to hold the cold fresh air and then continue the trek till you reach Brahmatal (or Khabekhal Lake). Overnight tents would be arranged with a proper meal of the night. Make sure to keep yourself hydrated and warm as it calls for a spine chilling night.

And then comes the most awaited Day 4, wherein we will be trekking to the Top summit of Brahmatal – The Brahmatal Peak which is a 7.6 km trek covering the peak and Daldum (Camping site) taking around 5 hours to complete. A full 360° view of the Himalayas to which on the right side lies Mt. Trishul and Nandaghunti close by. The trek though becomes steep and difficult continuously asking you to change your mind and quit yet one will be unaware of the fact which awaits you after the completion of this whole journey. En route, you will be covering the Chota Jhandidar and Bada Jhandidar enjoying the magnificent yet tricky trails enriched with a mountain with ridges on both it’s sides. After a full glimpse and intake of this memorialized view, we would be trekking further to our resting camp in Daldum. Enjoy the last night in the snow-capped peak sharing and making your memories with the other trekkers accompanying each other.

Day 5 calls for the returning and accomplishment of the trek from Daldum to Lohajung. An overnight stay in Lohajung, that night calls for the last weaving of memories as the next day calls for a return back to Dehradun.

(Today, after having taken enough rest and memories from the trip, we are returning back to Dehradun and reaching by 6:00/7:00 pm in the evening. A good Adios will be bid to our trekkers and a hopeful Vamos will be expected in return!)
