Trek to Brahmtal, a lake where Lord Brahma is said to have meditated as per mythology is one of the few treks which are possible in the months of winter when most of the trekking routes are closed. The trek is a great winter option & is on the opposite side of the famous Roopkund. The spectacular views of Himalayan range from the trail is one of the many reasons for doing this trek. Some of the prominent seven thousanders visible are Trishul, Nandaghunti, Chowkhamba, Nilkanth, Kamet, Hathi and Ghoda peaks.Most of the trail of roopkund trek can also be seen from this trek,including views of Ali Bugyal, Bedni Bugyal & junargali. The walk is mostly inside the jungle of conifer, Cedar, Oak and Fir which in itself is a soothing experience in the months of winter.
