Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : From Dehradun to Lohajung

  Dehradun is the last railway station in these hills, so the best way to reach Lohajung is to start your ride from here.
  
  Upon reaching Lohajung, you are exposed to the magnificent Nanda Ghunti peak and if you’re having a good day you just might catch the exuberant colors of the Nanda Ghunti at dusk. Lohajung acts as the focal connection between the two astoundingly beautiful treks Roopkund and Brahmatal. It has a beauty of its own surrounded ancient trees of Rhododendron and alpines.
  
  A small concentration of a dozen or more villages serves as the Centre point of Lohajung. A provisional store is present where you can fulfill your clothing, winter accessories and other needs. However, don’t rely too heavily on these shops and carry your vital things beforehand. The quality available at Lohajung market store is not up to the standard quality and may cause hazards to you while trekking. It is advisable to buy your winter trekking from a good trusted brand or store.

• Day 2 : Lohajung to Bekaltal Lake

  Brahmatal Trek as it helps to navigate better. From the chowk /market in central Lohajung, move towards Bisht General Stores. It is a manmade trail and demarcated for travelers’ convenience. You are required to make your way through a forest trail scantily clad with houses in the upper part of Lohajung. You will spot Mandoli village to your left after a brief trek through the trail.
  
  The confluence of the Kail and Pindar rivers occurs at Kail Valley and is possible to view after a climb further up, on the left side. The water pipes providing freshwater to Lohajung act as guide points as they follow the trek trail. Moving along the trail we come at a point on the left called budla (a small cluster of homes).
  
  The entire periphery of the Mt Trishul and Nanda Ghunti is visible from here will which refresh your mind and keep you motivated throughout your trek. They offer exquisite scenery during all the seasons of the year. The dense forests on the gradual sloping land act as the icing on the cake.
  
  A little over two km into the trail and you find a small bridge which is meant to help you cross the stream flowing under it. 2hrs into the trek to arrive at begum which is a sort of resting point for the long journey that lies ahead. Also, this place offers some breathtaking views of Nanda Ghunti and Swaare village.
  
  Walking along with the splendid views of the Bugyals, we come across another stream. It takes roughly an hour from this place to reach the splendid Gujrani stream. From here, it takes another hour of steady walking. The Brahmatal trek distance is commonly known for its frozen state making the journey cold and breezy.
  
  Khop Daliya is an adjacent lake and serves as a spectacular place for camping. There may be chances that you will get to see the beauty of the spread Brahma Kamal (lotus) on the frozen lake.

• Day 3 : Bekaltal Lake to Brahmatal Lake

  The leisurely stroll in this gently ascending meadow brings us to the highest point of the day. Onwards it is a gradual descent into Brahmatal. All throughout the day’s ordeal, you can see Almora, Nainital side of the valley. The huge mountains are also visible scantily. The campsite in Brahmatal is situated at an elevation of 10400 ft. and just a half km away from the lake.

• Day 4 : Brahmatal Lake to Brahmatal top and back

  The journey begins with a 40 min brisk walk through the forests and then brings us out into the green meadows and to the bottom of the big climb to the top. Upon reaching the summit a spread of mountains open to give you a scenic view..
  
  Chaukhamba, Mandir Mana, Nilgiri, Neelkanth, Trishul, Maitoli are just some of the mountains in the Panchachuli range which are visible from here.

• Day 5 : Brahmatal Lake to Lohajung via Jhandi top

  The gentleness of the descent from Brahmatal to Lohajung makes the trek last about 7 hrs. The route is retraced to Khabekhal and then deviated into another route which directly leads down to Lohajung.
  
  The view along this descent is mesmerizing and quite astounding if you haven’t seen them before. The Brahmatal trek is incomplete without the scenic glances of the mountain ridges, like nothing you have seen before.
  
  During the course of the journey we pass through a small place called Daldum which is quite beautifully covered by trees. 30 mins later into the trail, we reach Malling, a good water source which is located outside the vicinity of the forest area.
  
  On walking further for an hour, we come across Burali which is a small place with a few houses. Villagers in this area farm during the cultivable seasons that last for a few months to meet their basic needs.
