Khaliya Top Trek
Khaliya Top Trek Overview
Situated near the charming hill town of Munsiyari in Uttarakhand’s Pithoragarh district, the Khaliya Top Trek is a hidden gem for trekkers seeking panoramic Himalayan views without an extremely strenuous climb. At an altitude of 3,500 m, Khaliya Top offers uninterrupted vistas of the Panchachuli range, Rajrambha, Hardeol, and Nanda Kot.
The trek begins from Balanti Farm or Munsiyari, leading through scenic forest trails of oak, pine, and rhododendron, eventually opening into expansive alpine meadows. During spring and summer, these meadows are carpeted with wildflowers, while in winter, a thick blanket of snow makes it a perfect snow trekking destination.
