Pindari Glacier Trek
|
Trekking Programme Duration : 11 Days
|
|
As
one treks along the route surrounded by the majestic Himalayas,
every inch becomes a fresh song of nature and at every curve the
eyes embrace a new landscape more beautiful than before. Reaching
the upper levels, the trees fall off, the pines cease and the road
enters an enchanted garden of fern, wild flowers ands rhododendron.
The glacier over 3.2 kilometers in length and 1.5 km. broad, backed
by mighty mountains, loom-up on the traveler with a gorgon gaze,
leaving an indelible impression of grandeur. Situated on the Nanda
Devi and Nanda Kote peaks, it extends from 3657 Metres to above sea
level, on an open, undulating piece of ground. To the east is a
lofty moraine constituted of gravel, mud and blocks of snow embeded
in ice. It owed its existence to vast quantities above, which melted
by the noon day sun, is frozen at night.
A ground past, over the glacier, at a height of 5393 metres leads to
the Trails’s Pass. A trip to the Pindari Glacier is well within the
capacity of any trekker, amply rewarded by magnificence of the
majestic grandeur of the Himalayas, the beauty of mountain flora and
fauna, the snowy ranges, gurgling hill torrents and roaring
water-falls and the rays of the morning sun splitting into manifold
spectral hues, making visible every drop of dew on every blade of
grass while in the distance, over the mountains, come the plaintive
notes of a shepherds’ flute. The incredible wealth of colour and
beauty never ceases to amaze, as with every curve of a meandering
rivulet, and every corner rounded is present a new spectacle. |
