Brahmatal Trek 4N5D

• Drive to Lohajung which takes about 9-10 hours from Rishikesh / Kathgodam with stunning views of high altitude peaks like Trishul, Maiktoli, Nanda Devi, Ghori Parvat, Nanda Khat, Hathi Parvat, and Ghori Parvat. Take a small halt at “Teen Dhara” for refreshments and capture the moment as the views here are seriously unforgettable. Lohajung serves as the beginning point and the base camp for the Brahmatal trek.

The first day of the trek starts from Lohajung to Bekaltal which takes about 4-5 hours. Get up early in the morning, have breakfast and get ready to begin. Just beside Lohajung follow the ascending human-made stone trek. Along the way, you would encounter some startling views of the Nanda Ghunti Peak. The walk is mostly inside the jungle of the Conifer, Cedar, Oak and Fir.

Today is the day to trek to Brahmatal Lake where Lord Brahma meditated many years ago. It takes about 5-6 hours to reach Brahmatal from Bekaltal Campsite. The trail starts steeply into the Oak and Rhododendron forest which leads to the meadow of Telandi top. In the winter, you will see the meadow of Telandi turns into a vast snowfield and crossing the area, a gala of thrill.

Today is the most visually mesmerizing day of the entire Brahmatal trek. Get up early by 05:00 AM, have breakfast and get ready to climb to the top of Brahmatal. The trek to the top of Brahmatal requires around 2½ hours of steep climbing. Along the way, it would be all ascents. We would pass through some treacherous trails at Chota Jhandidar and Bada Jhandidar. After this we would be leaving this pristine lap of Mother Nature. After having breakfast, start walking to Lohajung from Brahmatal followed by some steep descending trail. It takes 4-5 hours to trek down to Daldum through thick oak and rhododendron forests once again. You will reach Daldum in the evening.

Depart from Daldum to Rishikesh / Kathgodam Bus Station early in the morning, preferably before 06:30 AM since the journey takes 8-9 hours. Expected to reach Rishikesh / Kathgodam by 06:00 PM.

Brahmatal Trek is a kind of easy winter Trek with a fantastic view of the majestic mountain peaks. It is a perfect Trek for beginners.

Brahmatal trek climbs to 12,250 feet and we rate it as moderate. A moderate rating refers to marginally longer trekking days with a few steep climbs in between. So, the Brahmatal trek is a notch more difficult than the easy-moderate treks like Kedarkantha and Dayara Bugyal.

Brahmatal provides a panoramic view of the Himalayas with Mt. Trishul and Nanda Ghunti, a bird’s eye view of the majestic Roopkund Trek and ample opportunities to capture the majestic snow-covered peak with their camera.

All major mobile networks including BSNL, Airtel, Vodafone. Idea work at Lohajung. You will not get any network ahead of Lohajung.

The best season to explore Brahmatal is either winter or in the springs. During winters (December, January, February) weather normally remains clear and the panoramic beauty of the surrounding is unmatched.

In winters, during the day, the temperature will range from 10-15 degrees Celsius. The nights will get cold dropping the temperature to 0 to -8 degrees Celsius. The higher the altitude you gain, the colder it gets.
