Pindari & Kafni Glaciers
"The leaves that rustled on this oaked-crowned hill,
And the sky that danced
among those leaves are still...
Deep in a forest thy secure abode"
William Wordsworth

One of the most popular and easily accessible glaciers in the region of Kumaon, Pindari Glacier lies at around 3,820 meters. Cascading waterfalls, dense forests, rivulets and a variety of flora and fauna can be seen enroute to Pindari. Shepherds can be seen guiding their sheep towards grassy uplands. These alpine pastures are one of the most beautiful aspects of the Himalayas. Bamboo clumps, ferns, white lilies and wild strawberries are encountered depending on the season. It is also the source of the Pindar River.

Kafni Glacier is a place of tranquility and offers a breathtaking view of the Himalayan peaks of Nandakot and Nandabhanar at a close range.
