Day 2

Pump up yourselves with some amazing breakfast to begin the most scenic summit. We’ll head towards Bekaltal. The whole route is so surreal. You don’t get the chance to trek around pine and fir trees, which is as huge as any building in our cities. The time where you quit on the city life for a while and dwell in nature. To accompany the view, we’ll also get a chance to glance at Nandaghunti Peak.

We’ll trek for 5 hrs and the distance covered would be for 8 km.

We’ll stay in tents overnight. Just some illuminated tents and silence. All around you would be trees and a million stars twinkling for you. We’ll light up a bonfire to keep you all warm and share ghost stories to scare you all of. We’ll have a wholesome meal and take rest to climb up Brahmatal the next day.

Day 3

After having an amazing breakfast, we’ll freshen-up and leave for Brahmatal. The route is all covered in snow. Make snow angels if you dare. The cold weather and snow will make you feel as if you’re in a pretty winter wonderland.

It would take us 4 hrs to complete the trek. The trails go through a forest and when you reach Telindi top, behold the enchanting views of the mighty Himalayas. We’ll continue to walk to arrive at Brahmatal or Khabekhal Lake. We’ll disperse for the night and again sleep in tents. With the same set of silence, serenity, and cold air around you.

We’ll call it a night once all of us have had enough fun and made memories. <3
