Summiters Adventures

Situated at an altitude of 4267 mts lies the colossal Milam Glacier (3872m) at the base of the great Himalayan wall. It is spread around 37 sq kms, and is 16 kms long. Being surrounded by 52 towering peaks it is situated on the south facing slope of the main Himalayan range. This remarkable valley and mixed glacier system has the origin of the Goriganga River from the south of Milam Glacier. This scenic paradise offers breathtaking views of an area that abounds in natural beauty. The trekking tour to Milam Glacier makes an idle trek route in Himalayas. It is fed by the Nanda Devi on the west, and the Panchchuli and Kalabandar glaciers from the east. Nanda Devi is the second highest mountain in India, and the highest entirely within the country. Its name means Bliss-Giving Goddess. It's a two-peaked massif, forming a 2 km long high ridge, oriented east-west. The west summit is higher, and the eastern summit is called Nanda Devi East. Together the peaks are referred to as the twin peaks of the goddess Nanda, who is regarded as the patron-goddess of the Uttarakhand Himalaya.
