Trek to Namik Glacier and Beyond
8 Nights / 9 Days
Explore Namik & Hiramani Glacier Treks with Wildtrek Holidays. Hidden in the Kumaon Himalayas of Uttarakhand, Namik Glacier and Hiramani Glacier are two breathtaking gems for adventure seekers and nature lovers. Nestled near Munsiyari, these glaciers lie at the base of the majestic Nanda Kot (6,861 m) and Trishul (7,120 m) peaks, offering travelers stunning Himalayan landscapes, alpine meadows, waterfalls, and rich cultural encounters.
The Namik Glacier Trek is renowned for its pristine beauty and historical significance, as it is believed to be linked with the ancient Indo-Tibetan trade route. The trail takes you through remote villages, lush forests of oak, rhododendron, and deodar, with panoramic views of peaks like Nanda Devi, Nanda Kot, and Panchachuli. Flowing hot springs, sacred temples, and age-old folklore add to the charm of this trek. Close by, the Hiramani Glacier offers equally mesmerizing scenery with glistening ice fields, verdant valleys, and untouched Himalayan wilderness.
Both glaciers are ideal for trekkers with a spirit of exploration, combining natural beauty with the unique Kumaoni culture. It’s less crowded, making it a perfect choice for trekkers seeking solitude and raw adventure. Whether it’s camping under starlit skies, interacting with warm local communities, or capturing snow-clad peaks, these treks promise an unforgettable Himalayan journey. At Wildtrek Holidays, we craft well-planned trekking experiences to Namik and Hiramani Glaciers with expert guides, safe itineraries, and personalized services.
