Nestled in the scenic Kumaon region of the Himalayas, the Pindari Glacier trek is a favorite among both novice and seasoned trekkers. Located within the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, this glacier is the origin point of the Pindar River, which eventually merges with the Alaknanda River at Karanprayag. The trail winds through the southern expanse of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary, offering trekkers mesmerizing views of towering Himalayan giants like Maiktoli (6,803 m) and Panwali Dwar (6,683 m). Along the route, the trail diverges at Dwali â?? with one path leading to the Pindari Glacier and the other heading towards the Kafni Glacier.
What makes this trek truly special is its accessibility and the sheer variety of landscapes it offers. From vibrant rhododendron forests and wide alpine meadows to serene valleys and glacial streams, every segment of the trail is a visual treat. The trek culminates at the Pindari Glacierâ??s zero point, standing tall at approximately 3,660 meters, where panoramic views of the mighty Nanda Devi and surrounding peaks leave a lasting impression. Ideal for those seeking adventure amidst pristine wilderness, this trek promises an unforgettable Himalayan experience.

Options to Reach Kathgodam Railway Station (Haldwani)
Take an overnight train to Kathgodam railway station (290 km 6-7 hours) which is well connected to Delhi, Kolkata, Dehradun and Lucknow.
Take an overnight bus to Haldwani Bus Stand, Delhi Anand Vihar ISBT provides bus services to Haldwani (don't go to Delhi Kashmere Gate ISBT) and then take a cab to the pickup point, which is 6 km away and takes 15 minutes.
( We always recommend going for the govt. Buses over the private ones outside the bus station as based on the experience we have found that there are very high chances of delay involved with private buses. Also, govt. Buses are always more reliable. Whichever bus you choose, just make sure to reach Kathgodam at least by 05:30 am. )
Take flight to Pantnagar airport, about 27 km, is the nearest airport with direct flights to Delhi, if coming by flight then come one day early.
( If you prefer to travel from Kathgodam to our base camp independently, you can either take a government bus or book a private cab. Your trek coordinator will provide guidance on how to arrange for the bus or cab booking. )
