Pindari Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Pindari Glacier lies in the upper Kumaon Himalayas of Uttarakhand, India, in the mountains southeast of Nanda Devi and Nanda Kot. The glacier is roughly 9 kilometers long and is the source of the Pindar River, which eventually joins the Alaknanda River at Karnaprayag in the Garhwal district. It is the destination of a popular roughly 90 kilometer round trip trek typically completed over six days, and the surrounding area also draws ice climbers and mountain bikers.
