This
very high adventure trek starts at Munsiyari (2290M), situated
at a distance of about 120 kms from Pithoragarh. Munsyari
is a small beautiful hamlet with a scenic array of waterfalls
and home to the Johari Tribe who are famed for their ayurvedic
medicines and woolen shawls. Breathtaking views of the Panchchuli
can be seen form here and Munsyari is the base for trekkers
to Milam, Namik, Ralam glaciers & the Nanda Devi Peak.
The views from Milam Glacier of Trishuli, Hardeol and Rishi
Pahar are a sight to behold. The whole trip is dotted with
many such sightings, but one of the best highlights remain
the beautiful meadows at the Nanda Devi Base camp that would
delight one and all. If luck is favoring you on this trip
you might even sight the elusive Snow Leopard or the Himalayan
musk deer.
