Nandi Kund Trek Overview

Nandi Kund Trek is located in the northeast Garhwal area and combines natural beauty, religious feeling, and thrill. This trek is at a height of 8850 m and finds itself nestled with towering snow-capped peaks and enchanting greenery around, and all these are dominated by Chaukhamba all through the trek. Nandi Kund is calm water crystal clear which gives the majestic look of the peaks and thus, has a very soothing and tranquil atmosphere. The Nandi Kund trek is a spiritually rewarding trek situated in the Garhwal Himalayas part which is still not explored fully by the trekkers. Starting from the source of river Ganga known as Nandi Kund to the challenging Ghiya Vinayak Pass, this trek is going to be an experience on its own. No matter if one is an experienced trekker or a believer in spirituality, Nandi Kund Trek, is one of the commendable treks.
