- Overview
Brahmatal Trek — Overview
“Brahmatal” is a preserved lake nestled at an altitude of 3,200 meters in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand. Every aspect of this region radiates beauty, and its geography is welcoming to trekkers of all skill levels. The landscape is serene, and local legends hold that the land is safeguarded by the Goddess “Nanda.” The flora and fauna thrive, offering a vivid spectacle at every turn. Brahmatal trek is also considered one of the beginner-friendly treks in the Garhwal region, making it an ideal starting point for those new to Himalayan adventures.
Rhododendrons and various species of oak trees line the paths, making the journey through the dense forests of the Chamoli Garhwal district vibrant and engaging. The wind carries whispers of the valley, bringing chills of the summit and reinforcing a deep-seated belief in achieving your destination. Access to Brahmatal Trek is granted through Lohajung, Didna, and Wan, with the necessary permits provided by the Uttarakhand Forest Department.
Nature sustains itself, and our company is dedicated to recycling, preserving serenity, and maintaining the authenticity of all natural resources in the valley. As we respect nature, we also expect travelers to uphold this balance with us. Brahmatal Trek is a celebrated and classic winter trek in Uttarakhand, yet it also offers distinct charms during the summer, spring, and autumn. The highlight of the trek is the grand and expansive view of Mt. Trishul and Nanda Ghunti, which are truly spectacular.

To commence the Brahmatal Trek from Lohajung to Didna Village, you’ll first take a local vehicle to Kuling, a journey that lasts about 30 minutes. From Kuling, the trek starts with a downhill walk to the Neel Ganga river. After crossing the river, the ascent toward Didna Village begins. This segment of the trek takes you through a forest filled with rhododendrons, Himalayan bamboos and oaks, adding a vibrant natural backdrop to your trek. Once in Didna, a small village known for its quaint farms and fishing opportunities, you can explore the local area.
