Brahma taal is a high altitude frozen tarn, with delicious views of Mt.Trishul and Mt.Nanda Ghunti. There are indeed similar routes in the Himalayas with comparing beauty but definitely found at much higher altitude. Never ending ridge lines, sprawling Bugiyals, High altitude lakes, majestic peak views and snow on the trail make it a perfect winter trek. Brahma Tal is a hidden and secluded lake amidst the ridge, where Lord Brahma meditated according to the mythology. The peak view from the route is captivating; from east to west one can see the High Himalayan ranges. From right to left on one side we can see Mrigthuni, Trishul, Bethartoli Himal and Nandaghunti. On the other side, we can see the massive Chowkhamba, Nilkanth, Kamet, Hathi and Ghoda peaks. Source: peregrinate This footage is
