Overview

Brahmatal trek trail is unique for the range of colours one gets to see during the trek for the flowers that are blossoming on either side of the trail, soothing the eyes of a trekker with nature’s beauty. Brahmatal trek’s speciality also lies in the fact that in this trek route, you experience not one but two distinctive mountain glacial lakes at such a great height – Brahmatal Lake and Bekaltal Lake, with each having their unique features in terms of beauty and ambience.

At a height of 3,400m above sea level, Brahmatal Lake is a frozen alpine glacial lake. As said in Hindu mythology, the lake gets its name from Lord Brahma, who is said to have meditated here. Hence, Brahma-Tal, or Brahma’s Lake. The beauty of Brahmatal trek is the abundance of mountain glacier-fed lakes you find in this route. On your way to Brahmatal Lake, you will come across another lake, Bekaltal. Surrounded by evenly spread out beautiful oak trees, Bekaltal has a beauty of its kind. According to locales, Bekaltal is where Lord Brahma hides. Well, after seeing the beauty and the serene ambience of the lakes, the myths and the legends the locals have to tell you to seem even more believable as these majestic creations of nature seem perfect to be a God’s abode.

Brahmatal trek is of mainly 6 days, covering a distance of about 30kms. What makes Brahmatal trek so special is that it is probably the best trek route one can experience that has forest, meadows, lakes as well as summit. The trek route gives you an experience of a walk through the heavy canopy of forests of silver oak and rhododendrons, beautiful colourful meadows with vibrant flowers, lakeside camping and stargazing at Bekaltal, the serene ambience of Brahmatal lake, the humbling sight of humongous mountain peaks against the backdrop of a large spectrum colours of the evening sky. The trek starts from Kathgodam. After a car ride, it then involves a brisk trek from Lohajung, which serves as the base camp of the trek to Bekaltal, Brahmatal to Brahmatal Top via Tilbudi and back through Khorurai, in 6 days.
