About the trek
What to expect on this route
The Namik route moves through high ridges and remote camps before reaching the glacier country, making it a journey for trekkers who enjoy quieter, less-used trails.
The route is especially appealing to experienced walkers who value changing habitats, quiet camps and the sense of moving between the Johar and Ramganga sides of Kumaon.
