Milam Glacier is the largest and most legendary valley glacier in the Kumaon Himalayas, spanning over 37 square kilometers and measuring 16 km long at an elevation of roughly 4,267 meters (14,000 feet) in the high Johar Valley of Munsiyari. Fed by the mighty snow slopes of Trishuli (7,074 m) and Kohli (6,544 m) peaks, this massive river of ice gives birth to the roaring Gori Ganga river.
The classic 10 to 12 day wilderness trek follows the historic Indo Tibetan trade caravan route starting from Munsiyari or Bogdiyar, traversing dramatic gorges, alpine birch forests, and deserted stone trading villages like Lilam, Rilkot, Martoli, and Milam. High altitude trekking adventurers touring northern Uttarakhand marvel at the raw geological power of jagged crevasses and terminal moraines.
Truth is, standing beneath the towering ice snout in the shadow of Himalayan giants is a life changing adventure. Trekkers require an Inner Line Permit (ILP) and must travel with experienced local mountain guides.
The best seasons to undertake the Milam Glacier trek are from May to June and September to mid October for safe trail conditions and clear skies.
