Nanda Devi East and Milam Glacier

This is a superb trek in the Garwhal Himalaya exploring the rarely visited Nanda Devi East Base Camp and Milam Glacier.

Garwhal Himalaya is a beautiful area of the Himalaya adjacent to the western end of Nepal and includes the famous mountain of Nanda Devi which at 7,816m is the highest peak that sits wholly within India. This part of the Himalaya attracted many of the famous explorers and mountaineers with most of them trying to unlock the secret of approaching Nanda Devi.

This trek follows the Gori Ganga gorge to the village of Milam and then approaches the East Base Camp of Nanda Devi. From the ruins of Milam village one can see it was once a large village, it used to be a significant trading centre for caravans crossing high passes to reach Tibet. The trail enters one of the most dramatic mountainous areas of the Himalayas near to Nanda Devi and the surrounding peaks in the Sanctuary, this scenery combined with the fascinating historical background of the region make this a superb trek.
