Very decent place with lots of snow to see. We visited in this peak season, there were many tourists but our group was leading as we had the best guide, the food and the stay were well managed and timely given. There is not a single casualty felt, this is great and good to go.

Bharmatal trek its one of the greatest trek, the food, camps, locations and guides are perfect and professional. Great variety of food and quality is also good. However you should carry enough water because local water may cause stomach problems. So make sure of it. The view and the location points are awesome camp side, people and if you love photography so this is the best place for it. Best time to go is mid January you may can see snow. Better to go with friends

I have done 3 trips till now with Firstrek and all of them have been great. First one was a solo trek and I can vouch for firstrek that any trip with them will become a great memory with new friends and experiences. Food and stay are great. If you are looking to join a group or have a group of your own and need an organized trip, contact them and they will do it with ease! Trek and trip leads are accommodating and concerned.
