Known for its breathtaking views of towering Himalayan peaks, this trek offers an enchanting mix of dense forests, frozen lakes, and open meadows blanketed in snow.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced trekker, the Brahmatal Trek is an unforgettable experience for those seeking the thrill of winter trekking.
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive to Lohajung, the base camp for the Brahmatal trek. The journey takes you through picturesque landscapes, charming villages, and winding mountain roads. Upon arrival, check in at a guesthouse and take some time to explore the small yet beautiful hamlet. In the evening, there will be a briefing by the trek leader, followed by a hot dinner. You will spend the night at Lohajung, acclimatizing to the altitude before starting the trek.
After a hearty breakfast, you will begin trekking through dense oak and rhododendron forests. The trail gradually ascends, revealing breathtaking views of the valley below. As you move further, you will reach Bekaltal, a stunning high-altitude lake surrounded by snow-covered trees. The lake often freezes in winter, creating a magical setting. After setting up camp near the lake, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and a warm meal before spending the night in tents under the starry sky.
The journey continues with a trek through enchanting snow-covered trails. As you ascend, the tree line starts to fade, revealing vast open meadows blanketed in snow. The panoramic views of Mt. Trishul and Mt. Nanda Ghunti make this section of the trek truly mesmerizing. Upon reaching Brahmatal, you will set up camp near the frozen lake, which holds a special place in Hindu mythology. The evening is spent admiring the surreal landscape and enjoying a warm meal before resting for the night.
The most exciting day of the trek begins early as you start the final ascent towards the Brahmatal summit. The climb is rewarding, offering a 360-degree panoramic view of the majestic Himalayan ranges, including Trishul, Nanda Ghunti, Chaukhamba, and more. After spending some time at the summit, capturing stunning photographs, and soaking in the breathtaking scenery, you will begin your descent towards Daldum. The trail down is easier, leading to a scenic forested campsite where you will stay overnight in tents.
The final stretch of the trek takes you back to Lohajung, retracing your steps through the snow-covered forest trails. Upon reaching Lohajung, you can relax, celebrate the successful completion of your trek, and explore the village. After lunch, you will begin your journey back to your onward destination, carrying unforgettable memories of the Brahmatal Trek.
