Brahmatal Trek Description

Brahmatal is an high altitude alpine lake situated in the Chamoli district of Uttrakhand at an altitude of 10,190 feet, while the summit of the trek, “Brahmatal Top” is situated at an elevation of around 12,250 feet. The trek takes about 5-6 days to complete including the drive from Dehradun or Rishikesh. The Brahmatal Trek is one of the best winter treks in Uttarakhand perfectly suitable for beginners and experience alike. The trek is famously known for its beautiful snowfields, frozen lakes, and the enchanting views of the Himalayan peaks from its summit top. It provides you a beautiful experience to explore the famous mountain peaks of Uttarakhand Himalayas including Mt Trishul (7120m), Nanda Ghunti (6,309 m), Chaukhamba (7,138 m), and many more.

Also, one can have a unique experience of two beautiful glacial lakes, Bekaltal and Brahmatal with their religious significance related to lord Brahma (Creator God) and an opportunity of camping experience beside the lakes (far away at a certain distance from the water bodies).

Along with its high altitude lakes, and the prominent views of the Mountains, the trekking route has many meadow sections, that turn into a winter wonderland, when a white carpet of snow covers the entire landscapes surrounding the trail. It’s really an unforgettable journey into the heart of the Himalayas that takes one through beautiful forests of oak, cedar, and rhododendron, vast meadows, clearer view of Mt. Trishul, and witnessing valleys, with famous trekking spots such as the ‘Ali Bedni Bugyal’ and the mysterious lake of ‘Roopkund.’

To do this trek, one has to start from a small village called Lohajung and head towards the Himalayas, passing through dense forest that transitions to another lake and opens into vast meadows, reaching the high points of Jhandi Top. The name ‘Lohajung’ is connected to a mythological story of the goddess Parvati. However, you are in Devbhoomi Uttarakhand (the Land of Gods), where it is common to find many destinations linked to mythological stories.

The trek is also suitable for seasoned trekkers. What better than a short trek to get started on bigger adventures in the region like Kuari Pass and Pangarchulla?

Drive Time: 9-10 hours

Altitude: 7,600 ft

Our journey will begin from the Yoga Capital of the world – Rishikesh; pickup is included in our Brahmatal package. Reach Natraj Square in the early morning so that we can cover the distance and have ample time for you to rest and recharge for the trek on day 2.

The drive would be filled with the beautiful scenery of mountains, hills, colorful homes and meandering roads. On our way, we will cross 3 Prayags, which means the confluence of 2 rivers. First, we will encounter Devprayag, the last Prayag, where river Alaknanda meets river Bhagirathi to form the holy river Ganga. Then, we cross Rudraprayag, where Alaknanda joins the Mandakini River. The last prayag we encounter is Karnaprayag, where Alaknanda meets Pindarganga.

At Devprayag, you can clearly see Alaknanda’s greenish-blue water and Bhagirathi’s brownish water mixing; it is a site to behold.

We will reach Lohajung by evening, and after that, you’ll be free to explore the surroundings.

After a delicious dinner, we will rest for the night and charge up for the trek the next day.

Trek Distance: 6 km

Trek Time: 4-5 hours

Altitude: 9,875 ft

Today marks the beginning of our trek; after an energy-packed breakfast, we will start walking going through the hustle of the Lohajung Market area towards Bekaltal.

As we walk deeper, the terrain will change into a rocky and slightly steep climb, testing your fitness level. After a short distance, you will come across Mandoli village on your left side.

After walking for 1.5 – 2 km, you can spot Gwaldam Ranges, on your right, which is situated in Gwaldam village, between the Kumaon and Garhwal regions of the state.

Further in the trek, you will find tatches and small water streams made up of Kali and Pindari rivers, and later, you can spot Kali Valley, the confluence of these two rivers as well. After a while, you will reach Khop Tal or Khopariya Tal, a small seasonal lake; after a quick rest, proceed again, as Bekal Tal is not far away.

After a short walk, you will reach Bekal Tal, our first campsite. This is a beautiful, entire lake dedicated to Nag Devta; you can also spot a stone-arranged temple of Nag Devta near the lake.

We will spend the night here under sparkling stars beside this peaceful lake.

Trek Distance: 8 km

Trek Time: 7-8 hours

Altitude: 11,150 ft

Be ready for a day filled with long hours of hike to reach the Brahmatal, the 2nd most anticipated part of the trek, 1st being the summit of Brahmatal.

After a steep hike of 1 km, you will reach Telandi Top; the area resembles a bugyal, plain grassland type. From this vantage point, you can spot Trishul I & II on your left and peaks like Devtholi Mrigthuni on the right.

After walking 7 kilometres, with short breaks in between, we will reach Jhandi Top, our highest ridge point. Jhandi Top is known as it because you will find a Mahadev Temple here with a huge Trishul here (Trident-like) with, a tied Damroo (Power Drum), and many flags.

From this point, many peaks that were far away now look closer, like Nanda Ghunti, Bethartoli, Trishul (I & II), Mrigthuni, Devtoli, and Maiktoli.

Brahmatal is situated after a short descent of 1.5 km from Jhandi Top at an elevation of 10,190 ft. Be more cautious, as the trail down is filled with rocks. The long hours will feel all worth it once you reach Brahmatal; the beauty and serenity will leave you in awe.

No wonder it is believed that Lord Brahma, the creator, chose to meditate on this site for a while as it provides the perfect place for it.

Reflect back on life, rejuvenate beside the lake, and rest for the night after a well-deserving hot dinner.

Time: 4 hours

Altitude: 12,500 ft

Trek Distance: 6 km

Today, we will cover the most anticipated trek part, the Summit Top. Though the climb is technical, it is steep, and during winter, snow takes the difficulty a level up.

The way to the summit is through ridge walking via two ridges, though it is not a narrow walk.

The first ridge will be inclined as we go upwards, and the second one open up to an open space at the top. From the top, you can spot all the peaks mentioned before, like Mt. Nanda Ghunti and Trishul, but a closer look just hits differently. The summit provides you with perfect and closer views of the Himalayan ranges.

Spring is the optimum time for trekking if you want to witness the region’s flora without the harsh winter filled with snow and the blazing heat of summer.

Months – September to November

Temperature – Day: 10℃ to 15℃ | Night: 0℃ to minus 5℃

In autumn, the trees will be shedding their leave, and the trail will be of brown colour palette, filled with gold of Maple, brown of rhododendrons and almost black needle-like leaves of pine.

Despite the season, the steep summit climb of Brahmatal is the highlight of the trek.
In winter, the trail will be covered in thick snow, which gives you the chance to walk in knee-deep snow.

Trekkers are advised to start following a workout routine that includes both cardio and strength training. Being fit will help you enjoy the trek without pausing every few minutes to catch your breath.

Aim to run 5 km in 40-45 minutes.

Treks are all about fun, adventure, finding yourself, etc, but only for those who are mentally and physically fit. Because activities like treks, especially a Himalayan trek, challenge you on different levels in unimaginable ways and situations.

Brahmatall trek falls under easy to moderate level trek depending on your chosen time of the year. In summer, spring & autumn, you will find this trek easy. Known as one of the best winter treks in India, the snow takes the difficulty a level higher, making the preparation mentally and physically more important.

The good part is that the trail is easy to follow, and the terrain is manageable, even for kids. Facilitated with a proper workout regime you can really take note of the surrounding environment and not waste time in catching your breath.

For summer, spring, and autumn seasons, you can follow an easy-level fitness routine.

For Winter, you have to workout more because of the added difficult factors like cold climate, snow, and fog. The trails will have some snow in the beginning which will be hard in nature and hence slippery too. Moving forward, at the higher level the snow may reach your knee or waist level, and walking on powdery snow takes the test of your balancing skills, stamina level, endurance, and overall strength of your body.

An easy level and weekend treks require a basic fitness level, where you should focus on building your stamina and strength. Start with walking/running and include a 45-minute to 1-hour workout (cardio + strength training).

A level-up in a fitness routine is required for an easy to moderate level trek like start aiming to run 5 km in under 40 mins, and strength training is a must.

FAQs on Brahmatal Trek

Both Brahmatal and Kedarkantha treks are excellent options for beginners, but they offer slightly different experiences, and your choice may depend on your fitness level, desired views, and preferred trekking style.

If you’re looking for an easier trek in terms of difficulty, with panoramic views of mountain ranges and endless valleys, Kedarkantha is a great choice over Brahmatal.
If you prefer a more challenging trekking experience and enjoy serene, scenic frozen lakes along with expansive Himalayan views, then Brahmatal Trek is ideal.
For a trek with a dramatic summit climb, Kedarkantha is the one to go for.
If you’re looking for a destination with fewer crowds on the trail, you should opt for the Brahmatal trek over Kedarkantha. Although both destinations can be crowded during peak winter, Brahmatal tends to be less crowded compared to Kedarkantha due to its relatively lower popularity.

It is advised to withdraw cash from Rishikesh itself. You might find other ATMs en route, but they remain mostly cashless and stopping vehicles like this also hampers our timeline.

The trip cost of the Brahmatal Trek varies from INR 6,000 to INR 11,000, depending on the itinerary, group size, services, starting point, and the time of the year, you are planning for trekking.

Being a local tour operator and listed as a certified trekking company, HDT offers the Brahmatal Trek Package (6D/5N) without Transportation at INR 5999/- +5% GST Per Person and with Transportation from Rishikesh to Rishikesh with INR 7,999/- +5% GST Per Person.

The best time to do the Brahmatal Trek for experiencing snowfall is in peak winter from mid-December to January. During this period, it experiences the best snowfall of the season, and the entire trail is covered with a blanket of fresh snow, creating a beautiful winter wonderland in the Uttarakhand Himalayas. At this time, it attracts all the nature and adventure enthusiasts from all over India, making this trek a “must-do” in peak winter.

Snowfall typically begins at the start of December, peaks in January, and lasts until early February. However, unexpected snowfall has occurred in past years; in 2019, it was recorded in mid-October, and in 2022, it started in early February. Therefore, predicting the exact timing of snowfall can be uncertain. If you are planning to experience the best snowfall, it is strongly advisable to get regular updates from current weather forecasts.

The Brahmatal Trek is generally less crowded compared to other popular treks like Kedarkantha, Chopta Chandrashila, Kuari Pass, especially during off-peak times. However, during the peak winter season (December to mid-February), it can still attract a huge number of trekkers, though it remains relatively quieter due to its lower popularity. The lower popularity of Brahmatal proves to be a boon for nature lovers, and after February, you may find yourself walking alone on the snowy trail of Brahmatal, experiencing the calm and peace in the nature of the Himalayas.

The Brahmatal Trek covers a total distance of approximately 24 kilometers for the entire route, starting and ending at the same point at the Lohajung base camp. This 24 km-long trail takes 5–6 days to complete, passing through beautiful dense forests of oak and rhododendron, Telandi Top, Jhandi Top, Gujreni, the frozen Bekaltal Lake (9,875 ft), expansive meadows, snowy landscapes, the high-altitude Brahmatal Lake (11,150 ft), and finally reaching Brahmatal Top (12,250 ft) with the view of Mt Trishul and Nanda Ghunti mountain range. It is a moderately difficult walk, and during the journey, you will gain an elevation of 4,650 ft, starting from Lohajung at an altitude of 7,600 ft (2,317 m) and reaching the maximum altitude of 12,250 ft (3,734 m) at Brahmatal Top.

Yes, the Brahmatal Trek is a safe and enjoyable trek, suitable for beginners. It has well-marked trails and manageable elevation gains. The trek is classified as easy to moderate in terms of difficulty, while passing through forests with a gradual ascent and reaching the maximum altitude of 12,250 ft (3,734 m) with the total trek distance of 24 km. However, arrival at altitudes above 8,000 feet increases the chances of AMS, but proper acclimatization and basic physical fitness are sufficient to prevent this challenge. And, to convert the difficulty of the winter snow into a wonderful experience, proper gear, following beaten paths over the snow-covered trails, and following your guide’s instructions are sufficient.

Brahmatal is one of the most beautiful winter treks in the Himalayas. Its snow-covered trails, dense forests, beautiful frozen lakes, and most rewarding views of Himalayan peaks all make Brahmatal a unique winter trekking destination and famous among adventure and nature enthusiasts. Brahmatal Lake is connected with a mythological story of Hindus, where Lord Brahma meditated for many years in the past. This mythology adds great spiritual significance to the lake. Along with the religious aspect, the lakes of Brahmatal and Bekaltal have unique natural beauty, especially when they get frozen in winter. The trek provides views of some of the most prominent mountain peaks of the Himalayas, including Mt. Trishul, Nanda Ghunti, and Maiktoli, as well as other visible peaks such as Chaukhamba, Nilkanth, Kamet, Hathi-Ghoda, etc. Also, the famous and mysterious Roopkund Lake and the vast meadows of Ali Bedni Bugyal can be seen from the trail of Brahmatal.
