The
most easily accessible glacier
in the Kumaon region, the Pindari
Glacier has a beauty of its own.
Situated between the snow-capped
Nanda Devi and Nanda Kot Mountains,
Pindari is a big and steep glacier
measuring 3km in length and 0.25km
in breadth. River Pindar originates
from this Glacier and flows down
to confluence into the river Alaknanda.
The trekking route to the glacier
traverses along the southern wilderness
of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary offering
some beautiful views of peaks
like Panwali Dwar (6683m) and
Maiktoli(6803m). A trek to the
Pindari Glacier is a "soft
adventrue" experience and
well within the capacity of any
trekker who is amply rewarded
by the magnificance and grandeur
of the towering Himalayas.
The Wayfarer group conducts regular
treks to the Pindari region from
its own bases at Wayfarer Solitaire
in Ranikhet and Wayfarer Retreat
in Vijaypur. The trek begins from
Bageshwar which is an important
Hindu pilgrimage center. The Pindari
Glacier is about 3 kilometers
long and is fed by the South-Western
slope of the Outer wall of the
Nanda Devi Sanctuary.
