Visiting an alpine lake is one of the highlights of a Himalayan adventure. Unfortunately, most of the alpine lakes we visit on our excursions are closed during the winter. The winter Brahmatal hike, on the other hand, is not for the faint of heart.

The Trek
The winter Brahmatal trek, on the other hand, takes you to an alpine lake and allows you to camp nearby. Indeed, if there isn’t too much snow, we’ll set up a tent right beyond the lake. Camping in such an environment is a unique experience in and of itself.
While everyone’s attention is drawn to Brahmatal, don’t overlook Bekaltal, another popular trekking destination. Bekaltal is a magnificent area lower down, surrounded by big trees and enchanted tales.
We rarely come across such massive lakes tucked away in the forests on our excursions. On this trip, however, we will not only travel to Bekaltal but will also camp in Gujarati.
This trip’s woods walks, which took place in the midst of a blanket of snow, were among our favorites. They’re engrossing without being too much. A long way may be seen through the woodland.
Furthermore, each campsite along this trip is distinct. Keep a lookout for our campsite in Gujarati. It’s tucked away in the woods and has become a popular destination for Indiahikes trekkers. The Tilandi and Brahmatal campgrounds are popular among our trekkers.
In India, Brahmatal is a relatively new hike
Nonetheless, in just a few years, it has grown incredibly popular. There’s a reason for this: the route has practically ideal winter snow walking conditions.
If you want to avoid the crowds, visit in the months of January, February, or March. The snow is better than it was in December, but the trail is less crowded.
When Is The Best Time To Visit Brahmatal?
Except during the summer and monsoons, Brahmatal is a fantastic trip to undertake at any time of year. Each season – spring, autumn, and winter – gives the stroll a distinct character.
Spring is a wonderful season to see Himalayan rhododendrons and go birdwatching, as this is one of the best Himalayan treks for birdwatching. In the autumn, you may enjoy crisp mountain vistas, and in the winter, when the landscape is blanketed in white, you can stroll through snow and see frozen lakes.
Brahmatal Trek in the Spring
From the Tilandi campground, looking towards the top. Jyoti Ranjan is the photographer for this image. While Deoriatal-Chandrashila is frequently mentioned while discussing rhododendrons, few people are aware that Brahmatal is also a lovely spring trip.
Rhododendrons line the slopes of the mountain (Buransh). In the spring, the hillsides are ablaze with dark pink and scarlet rhododendrons.
Imagine this happening against a backdrop of melting. However, you may notice lonesome trees in bloom as early as Lohajung. After that, keep an eye out for the stretch between Bekaltal and Tilandi as you begin your trip.
You enter a rhodo forest right after you leave Bekaltal, and the flowering blooms form a canopy over your head as you journey. Finally, near the finish of the walk, around Khoriri, keep an eye out for photos.
Early spring is the best time to visit Brahmatal for a magnificent experience (March). As a result, you’ll be able to travel in the snow while admiring the blooming flowers. During this time, areas of Tilandi will be covered in snow.
By mid-April, the majority of the snow on the trail and in the surrounding area had melted.
What I like about Brahmatal
From Bekaltal to Tilandi Brahmatal, the Rhododendron forest offers mesmerizing forest walks. The Rhododendron devoted area, in particular, has stayed with me! Just outside of Bekaltal, a well-defined section of Rhododendron forests may be found.
The Rhododendron woodlands are a visual delight. The trunks are usually bare and smooth woody. Although the trees aren’t especially tall, they provide a lovely canopy at the summit. They’re close enough to form a perfect green roof above your head.
This is what you see all year long. If you visit between March and April, you will be greeted by a pink flowering roof. If you visit during the winter, you will be greeted by a white snowy carpet!
