pindari glacier
The Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, endowed with abundant natural beauty, has long drawn trekkers from all over the world. For many years, the area has provided the best bait in the form of retreats to adventure seekers, to which no trekker on this planet can say no. The trek to Pindari Glacier is one such trekking trail that will take you through spectacular landscapes, snow-clad glaciers, and far-flung villages of the Kumaon region that you may have only seen in fairy tales and will stay with you for the rest of your life!
The best part about the Pindari Glacier trekking trail is that it does not test your endurance at every level; in fact, it is mostly smooth. However, don't expect it to be a walk in the park because the level of difficulty can sometimes be so high that trekkers are forced to leave their comfort zone. The trail becomes difficult as it crosses mountain ridges, spider-walls, and streams. However, the unearthly beauty of the final point, or Zero Point, will make you forget about all your difficulties.
Your trek to the Pindari Glacier, a Himalayan storehouse, begins in Loharkhet, a small village 20 kilometres from the Bageshwar district. After passing through remote areas such as Dhakuri, Dwali, and Phurkia, you will arrive at the trek's final destination, Zero Point. Trails leading to the glacier and through rhododendron forests traverse the southern wilderness of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary, providing spectacular views of peaks such as Panwali Dwar (6,683m) and Maiktoli (6,803m).
