Perched high in the Garhwal Himalayas, the Brahmatal Trek is one of the most enchanting winter treks in India — a perfect blend of myth, adventure, and mountain magic. Located at an altitude of around 12,150 ft, this trail takes you through ancient forests, frozen lakes, and wide alpine meadows, offering majestic views of some of India’s most celebrated peaks — Trishul, Nanda Ghunti, Chaukhamba, and Neelkanth.
According to legend, Lord Brahma is said to have meditated beside this very lake — hence the name Brahmatal. Today, it stands as a serene high-altitude destination where spirituality meets the silence of snow-covered landscapes.
The trek begins from Lohajung, a quaint mountain village, and gradually ascends through oak and rhododendron forests, opening up to stunning campsites such as Bekaltal and Brahmatal Lake. The final climb to Brahmatal Top rewards trekkers with an uninterrupted 180° view of the Garhwal and Kumaon ranges — a sight that leaves even the most seasoned travellers spellbound.
Whether blanketed in snow during winter or carpeted in green during spring, the Brahmatal trail offers the quintessential Himalayan experience — peaceful, scenic, and deeply rejuvenating.
