Together we make big things
The Nanda Devi East Trek starts from the beautiful town of Munsyari (2290m) and the route ascends up the Gori Ganga river gorge which separates the Nanda Devi group from the beautiful peaks of the Panch Chulli group. You trek through the Gori Ganga gorge which is narrow initially, then opens up into the wide expanse of the gentler trans-Himalayan region. There are quaint Himalayan settlements on the way and villages like Burphu and Martoli have houses that are at least one hundred and fifty years old reminding every one of the extent of Indo-Tibetan trade.
Nanda Devi continued to be “the stuff dreams are made of” as its reconnaissance and climbing lore never wavered. The two peaks and 1 and ¼ mile ridge make this one the most distinctive mountains in the Himalaya and largest mountain that resides fully within the boundaries of India.

The area to Nanda Devi was inaccessible for many years but open for trekkers in all its glory. The peak is the highest solely situated in India and second highest after Kanchenjunga. The area is ringed by smaller mountains making the area difficult to enter and set the tone for the legendary recons trips in the golden ages of mountaineering.
