Ralam Glacier – A Hidden Gem in Uttarakhand Himalayas
Ralam Glacier is a stunning high-altitude glacier nestled in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, near the Indo-Nepal border. Located at an altitude of 3,900 meters, this glacier is a paradise for trekkers and nature lovers seeking an offbeat Himalayan adventure. The Ralam Glacier Trek takes you through dense forests, alpine meadows, and remote villages like Ralam, Lingurani, and Sapa, offering breathtaking views of the Nanda Devi, Nanda Kot, and Panchachuli peaks.

This trek starts from Munsiyari, a popular base for many Kumaon treks, and follows a rugged yet rewarding trail filled with pristine Himalayan landscapes. Unlike the more crowded glaciers, Ralam remains untouched, making it a perfect destination for those looking to explore the raw beauty of the Himalayas. The best time to visit is May-June and September-October, when the weather is ideal for trekking.
