Additional Information

About the Kafni Glacier:

The Kafni Glacier is an exhilarating trekking trail in the Kumaon region in Uttarakhand. The glacier is the source of the River Kafni that forms the tributary of the Pindar river which joins the River Ganga on its route. The Kafni Glacier trek is along a boulder-strewn path with a dense forest surrounding the mountains and expansive meadows. The enchanting villages, lofty mountains and pristine beauty of the region are what captivates the adventure seekers that trek this route year after year. On this trek, you will get spectacular views of the Nandakot and Nandanar as well as the Pindari Glacier.

Kafni Glacier Trek is nestled amidst scenic beauty and tranquility. Located in the district of Bageshwar within Kumaon region of Uttarakhand state, it has the Pindar Valley to its left, the famous peak of Nandkot beneath it, and the Nanda Devi Peak on the southeast.

Kafni glacier offers rise to river Kafni, which is an offshoot of river Pindar. Pindar itself is again, an offshoot of Alaknanda River, this is one of the two head streams of river Ganga.

About the Kafni Glacier Trek, Uttarakhand:

The Kafni Glacier trek lies on the same route as that of Pindari and Sunderganga but it deviates near the end of the route and as it reaches the Kafni Glacier. This glacier can be reached both from Almora as well as Kathgodam depending on the route chosen. The common beginning point for both these routes is in Bageshwar. The trek starts from Loharkhet and turns to Dhakuri which is a gentle incline that leads to Khati. From here trekkers pass through several quaint villages before reaching Khatiya. The best part about this trek is that it passes through more regions which include Loharkhet, Phurkia, Diwali and then Kafni Glacier.

Kafni, though a small glacier, is very well-liked by the trekkers and adventure lovers. You will come across multi-coloured high altitude flowers like that of Rhododendrons, that will make your journey to this icy paradise an unforgettable experience. Kafni also gives way to magnificent views of Himalayan Treks like Nandakot (6,860 m) and Nandabhnar (6,236 m).

As a part of daily hygiene protocol, proper care of hygiene and sanitation is maintained all through to ensure utmost care and personal safety of the guests.
