The Brahmatal Trek leads you to a mystical lake in Chamoli, Uttarakhand, believed to be created by Lord Brahma through meditation. This 5-day, 24 km trek offers unmatched Himalayan views, including Mt. Trishul and Mt. Nanda Ghunti glowing against snowy backdrops. Along the way, you encounter Bekaltal, oak and rhododendron forests, rich birdlife, and rare wildlife like Himalayan foxes and monals. Steeped in mythology, culture, and spirituality, the trail echoes tales from the Mahabharata and ancient temples. Starting from Rishikesh, Dehradun, or Kathgodam, Brahmatal is one of the safest and most rewarding winter treks, suitable for both beginners and experienced trekkers, and equally stunning in spring and autumn.
