Milam Glacier Tour Overview
Milam Glacier is a major glacier of the Kumaon trekking in Himalaya. It is situated in the tehsil of Munsiyari, part of the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, India, about 15 kilometres northeast of Nanda Devi.
The base for Milam Glacier is Munsyari (2290 Meters) in Pithoragarh district. From Munsyari the trek will take us to downhill along Gori Ganga River. From Bogdiyar to Rilkot, there is a thickly forested region where the land opens into the Gori Ganga Valley. While crossing Gori Ganga River below Burfu Village, we will observe an uninterrupted view of Nanda Devi and Hardeol peaks up to Milam Glacier.
This mixed glacier system is the source of the Gori Ganga River, and offers breathtaking views of an area that abounds in natural beauty. The last point of Milam Glacier at 3872 meters is the nodal point for a variety of high grade routes and peaks.
Passing through the vibrant valleys of the Gori Ganga and the high alpine meadows, one cannot resist admiring the impressive waterfalls and forests of Rhododendron, conifers, chestnut and bamboo.
