Aroha trels to Pindari Glacier and brings back lots of pictures and the trip account.

Pindari Glacier, one of the most accessible Himalayan glaciers with an inflow of only around 1000 tourists per year, was my promised land. A long ride till Bageshwar, then another ride till Saung in a creaky old contraption, and then yet another cramped ride in an even creakier one halfway to Loharkhet and our trek had started. The initial stretch turned out to be too steep for novices like us and the stop for lunch at Loharkhet tourist rest house was a relief. The food, with a smoky taste, turned out to be the best I’d had in a long time and the early hours-10 O’ clock in the morning- didn’t deter me from piling on food, enough to give a stomach ache in other circumstances.
