  The most easily accessible
glacier in the Kumaon region, the Pindari Glacier has a beauty of its own.
Situated between the snow-capped Nanda Devi and Nanda Kot Mountains,
Pindari is a big and steep glacier measuring 3km in length and 0.25km in
breadth. River Pindar originates from this Glacier and flows down to
confluence into the river Alaknanda. The trekking route to the glacier
traverses along the southern wilderness of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary
offering some beautiful views of peaks like Panwali Dwar (6683m) and
Maiktoli(6803m). A trek to the Pindari Glacier is a "soft adventure"
experience and well within the capacity of any trekker who is amply
rewarded by the magnificence and grandeur of the towering Himalayas.
The Wayfarer group conducts regular treks to the Pindari region from its
own bases at Wayfarer Solitaire in Ranikhet and Wayfarer Retreat in
Vijaypur.
