Nanda Devi (7816 M) is India’s second highest mountain. It is a massif with two peaks namely the Nanda Devi East (7434 mtrs.) and Nanda Devi West (7,816 mtrs.). Nanda Devi East Base Camp Trek is the perfect way to witness the beauty of the sister peaks – standing in the centre of a ring of peaks – majestic and aloof. The trek is approached through the Rishi Ganga gorge, one of the deepest in the world. The trek begins from Munsiyari that offers excellent views of the Panchachuli peaks and then passes through the Ramganga and Saryu valleys. 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. Munsiyari is the base for trekkers to Milam, Namik, Ralam glaciers & the Nanda Devi Peak. The region is adjacent to Nanda Devi National Park which is one of the most spectacular wilderness in the Himalayas. It is home to a variety of Flora & Fauna. If luck is favoring you on this trip you might even sight the elusive Snow Leopard or the Himalayan musk deer.

We will trek in the same gorge. The trek is parallel to the river on a trail which consists of Bamboo thickets & Conifer trees. After about 5 Kms we come to a point where steam called Ralam meets Gori Ganga. The trail climbs from here to our next milestone which is a tea shop at Radgari. Trekking along the river we arrive in Bugdyar which is a beautiful camping site. It also has a small rest house. There is a memorial in Bugdyar which is dedicated to Villagers and army personnel who died in an avalanche in 1989. A cruel reminder of what nature’s fury can do to a place and its people.
