Ram Ganga
Mamik Glacier Trek Kumaon, Uttaranchal
Duration:
Maximum - 07 Days
About This Trek:
Ram Ganga-Namik Glacier (Recently
opened area with rough and tough walks) - Situated at the head of Ram Ganga
Valley, between Gauri Ganga and Pindar valleys. This has been a restricted
area, hence it has remained comparatively unknown to the trekking community.
The approach to this glacier is a delightful excursion. Leti is the roadhead
which can be reached from Bageshwar via Bharari and Samadhura. Leti (2050m) is
a big village where porters can be hired.
