About
Pindari Glacier
Trek | |
 As one treks along the
route surrounded by the majestic Himalayas, every inch
becomes a fresh song of nature and at every curve the
eyes embrace a new landscape more beautiful than before.
Reaching the upper levels, the trees fall off, the pines
cease and the road enters an enchanted garden of fern,
wild flowers ands rhododendron.
The glacier over 3.2
kilometers in length and 1.5 km. broad, backed by mighty
mountains, loom-up on the traveler with a gorgon gaze,
leaving an indelible impression of grandeur. Situated on
the Nanda Devi and Nanda Kote peaks, it extends from
3657 M to above sea level, on an open, undulating piece
of ground. To the east is a lofty moraine constituted of
gravel, mud and blocks of snow embeded in ice. It owed
its existence to vast quantities above, which melted by
the noon day sun, is frozen at night.
A ground past,
over the glacier, at a height of 5393 metres leads to
the Trails’s Pass. A trip to the Pindari Glacier is well
within the capacity of any trekker, amply rewarded by
magnificence of the majestic grandeur of the Himalayas,
the beauty of mountain flora and fauna, the snowy
ranges, gurgling hill torrents and roaring water-falls
and the rays of the morning sun splitting into manifold
spectral hues, making visible every drop of dew on every
blade of grass while in the distance, over the
mountains, come the plaintive notes of a shepherds’
flute. The incredible wealth of colour and beauty never
ceases to amaze, as with every curve of a meandering
rivulet, and every corner rounded is present a new
spectacle.
