Pindari Glacier
The Pindari Glacier is a glacier found in the upper reaches of the Kumaon Himalayas, to the southeast of Nanda Devi and Nanda Kot. Geography The glacier is about 9 kilometers long and gives rise to the Pindar River which meets the Alakananda at Karnaprayag in the Garhwal district. The trail to reach the glacier crosses the villages of Saung, Loharkhet, crosses over the Dhakuri Pass, continues onto Khati village (the last inhabited village on the trail), Dwali, Phurkia and finally Zero Point, Pindar, the end of the trail.

The Pindari Glacier is also famous for other adventure sports like Ice climbing and Mountain biking. Retreat Several surveys have mapped the retreat of Pindari over the years. The glacier was first surveyed by G.de P.Cotter in 190 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
