Straddling the regions of Garhwal and Kumaon, close to the Tibetan border, Nanda Devi (7816 m), is the geographical and spiritual high point of India. Surrounding the peak is an incredible expanse of mighty 6000 and 7000 metre peaks. Nanda Devis's inner sancturay is currently off limits to climbers and trekkers. Trekking in Kumaon can be undertaken all the year round. The best visiting periods are April-June and September-November, just because of the vastness of the terrain and altitude differences. |
