About Nanda Devi Peak

A majestic peak nestled in the quaint hill station of Auli, Nanda Devi is renowned as the Goddess of Himalayas. Counted among the many popular UNESCO sites, it is the second tallest peak in India flaunting the surreal backdrops of Garhwal. It stands at an altitude of 7817 meters above the sea level and lures the visitors with its awe-inspiring views.

The peak is surrounded by Nanda Devi National Park where one can bask in nature’s glory and catch the bewitching sight of exotic flora and fauna. Nanda Devi mountain range has two peaks including Western and Eastern peaks. While the eastern peak is named after Goddess Nanda, the western peak is popularly known as Sunanda Peak.

Apart from its natural splendour, the place has also gained massive popularity for its religious significance. Nandadevi is hailed as the Goddess of Uttarakhand and abode of Lord Shiva, which is why it is frequented by a large number of devotees.

This Himalayan beauty is equally popular among adventure enthusiasts and travel buffs for its enthralling trekking routes and serene villages which provide the much-needed relaxation after a hectic day of sightseeing. The 55 Km trek to Nanda Devi flags off from the beautiful town of Lata, takes you through Dharansi Pass, Debrugheta, and Hitoli, and ends at Joshimath.

During the trek, you will get an opportunity to interact with the natives of Himalayas and learn about their lifestyle and culture. You will also get to see the confluence of sacred rivers Nandaprayag, Rudraprayag, and Devprayag.

My 18 days expedition to Nanda Devi East Base Camp is definitely among one of the best memories of my life. However, I would not have enjoyed the trip without Thrillophilia’s great assistance. The company stands true to its name and gives you a comfortable yet adventurous trek in an affordable price range. All thanks to the fantastic tour management, our whole team enjoyed each and every movement on and off the trek.

The trans-Himalayan Nanda Devi Trek may be one of the most challenging treks in India. But, with Thrillophilia’s booking services and other aids for trekking, trekking, lodging, medical assistance, etc. have smoothened my experience. The service offered by the agency is perhaps one of the best in its field and the easiest way to enjoy the best in class trekking experience.

Seriously, our entire group used to wonder, from where do you got so much patience? The trek was a fantabulous experience for all of us. Especially the visiting to different villages were the best part apart from the Himalayas.
