Trans-Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, India, is home to the unfamiliar Kak Bhusandi Trek. The tranquil Kak Bhusandi Tal, a high-altitude lake tucked away at about 4,730 meter, is reached via this surprising trek. The hike, which winds over rocky terrain, alpine meadows, and deep forests, provides stunning views of the Nanda Devi and Hathi-Ghodi peaks. The lake is named for the Hindu crow-sage Kak Bhusundi and is steeped in mythology. The trail, which is private and unknown with little human presence, is perfect for seasoned hikers looking for isolation and religiousness. The walk is both physically and spiritually taxing, providing a profound connection with nature and the Himalayan region. It is best visited between May and October. Expeditions with a guide are strongly advised.
