Glacier |
|
Kafni glacier
is situated on the left side of pindar valley under majestic
mountain Nandakot. This region has its own charm with the
solitude it presents. This region is very rich in wildlife.
There are no rest houses beyond Dwali and one has to spend
nights in tents or caves. Main peaks near the glacier are
Nandakot 6860 meteres

The scenic
beauty and the tranquility prevailing in this region has an
unbeatable charm. The Kaphini (Kafni) Glacier lies left of the
Pindar Valley below the famous peak of Nandakot. The route to
Kaphini Glacier covers the same track up to Dwali, as the
track to Pindari. |

Kaphini Glacier is 12 km from Dwali via
Byali Udiyar, which is at a distance of 8 km from Dwali. As
compared to Pindar the valley is much broader and the
rhododendron (burans) that blooms here is spectacularly
beautiful. The main Himalayan summits visible from the glacier
are Nandakot and Nandabhnar |

Snow
capped mountains, incredible Himalayan scenery, undulating but
leisurely walks through large expanses of lush green meadows
and tree-lined pathways, herds of sheep lined on the mountains
& through the trekking trail; coupled with the tranquillity &
solitude the route presents make up for exciting ingredients
on the Kafni Glacier trek which is fast becoming the must
visit zone for trekkers from around the world. |
| |
|
There are no
rest houses beyond Dwali on the Kaphini track, so one has to
use tents. Byali Udiyar is an ideal spot for a night's stay,
because there are grasslands to pitch a tent and caves for a
convenient night halt. To reach the glacier, one should start
very early from Byali Udiyar 4 km away, so as to arrive at the
zero point before 9 a.m. |
