At Escape2explore, we’re committed to providing a memorable and safe trekking experience in the majestic Himalayas. Trekkers often find the Ralam Glacier Trek to be a peaceful and less crowded alternative to other Himalayan trails. The terrain and weather in the Himalayas can be unpredictable, so please follow these essential do’s and don’ts to ensure a successful and enjoyable trek.
Do’s:
Listen to Your Guide: Our professional guides are experts in Himalayan trekking. Always follow their instructions and trust their judgment, especially in tricky or high-altitude areas.
Acclimatize Properly: The Himalayas mean high altitudes, which require proper acclimatization. We’ll ensure a gradual ascent, but it’s crucial to take things slow and follow the itinerary to avoid altitude sickness. Drink plenty of water and rest when needed.
Wear the Right Gear: The Himalayas can be cold, even in summer. Wear layered clothing, including thermal wear, waterproof jackets, and sturdy, insulated trekking boots with good grip. Bring a hat and gloves to protect yourself from cold winds.
Hydrate and Eat Well: Dehydration happens faster at high altitudes. Keep sipping water throughout the trek and eat enough food to maintain your energy. Our team will provide regular breaks to recharge.
Use Trekking Poles: Himalayan trails can be steep and uneven, so using trekking poles can greatly reduce the strain on your knees and help you maintain balance.
Respect Local Culture: The Himalayan region is home to diverse local communities with rich cultural traditions. Respect the customs, interact politely with locals, and follow any guidelines provided by your guide.
Carry Essential Items: Bring items like sunscreen (even in the snow!), lip balm, sunglasses, and a first-aid kit with altitude sickness medication. It’s better to be prepared for the high-altitude sun and cold winds
Be Environmentally Conscious: The Himalayas are pristine and need our care. Follow the ‘Leave No Trace’ policy by carrying back all waste, respecting wildlife, and leaving nature undisturbed.
Don’ts:
Don’t Ignore Altitude Sickness Symptoms: If you feel dizzy, have headaches, or feel nauseous, inform your guide immediately. Ignoring these signs can lead to serious health issues. We can adjust the pace or descent if needed.
Don’t Rush or Overexert Yourself: The key to trekking in the Himalayas is steady progress. Don’t rush ahead, as it can strain your body at high altitudes. Take breaks when needed and walk at a pace that’s comfortable for you.
Don’t Pack Unnecessary Items: Light backpacks make for easier treks. We’ll help you with a packing list, so don’t bring heavy or non-essential items that will weigh you down on steep climbs.
Avoid Trekking in Dangerous Weather: The Himalayan weather can change rapidly. We monitor conditions closely, but if your guide suggests delaying the trek due to rain, snow, or windstorms, trust their decision.
Don’t Wander Off Alone: The vast Himalayan landscape can be disorienting. Always stick with the group, and let your guide know if you need to stop or take a break. Avoid exploring unfamiliar areas on your own.
Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Consuming alcohol or smoking can worsen the effects of altitude sickness and lower your stamina. It’s best to avoid them before and during the trek for your safety and well-being.
Don’t Harm the Environment: Avoid littering or causing damage to the natural surroundings. The Himalayas are fragile, so we ask you to be mindful and carry back any waste to designated disposal areas.

This trek takes you through the remote Ralam Valley, offering spectacular views of the Panchachuli, Nanda Devi, and Hardeol peaks. It is an adventurous high-altitude pass crossing with stunning landscapes, glaciers, and untouched wilderness, making it truly special.
The trek is challenging and suited for experienced trekkers. It involves steep ascents, high-altitude walking, and rugged terrain. Trekkers must have good fitness levels and prior experience in long-duration, high-altitude expeditions for a safe experience.
The trek takes around 9-10 days, covering approximately 70 km. The duration depends on weather conditions, trekking speed, and necessary acclimatization stops to adjust to the high altitude safely.
The best time is May to June and September to October. These months provide stable weather, clear skies, and accessible trails. Monsoon brings landslides, and winter makes the trail inaccessible due to heavy snowfall.
The trek begins from Munsiyari, Uttarakhand, which is accessible by road from Kathgodam. The nearest railway station is Kathgodam, and the closest airport is Pantnagar, from where road transport options are available.
Yes, trekkers need a permit from the Uttarakhand Forest Department. Since the trek enters restricted and ecologically sensitive areas, obtaining permits in advance is necessary for legal and environmental reasons.
Accommodation consists of homestays in villages and tented camps along the trekking route. Since this is a remote trek, lodging options are basic, and trekkers must be prepared for limited amenities.
The highest point of the trek is at Ralam Dhura Pass, which reaches an elevation of 5,312 meters (17,428 feet). Proper acclimatization and gradual ascent are essential to handle the altitude.
Yes, altitude sickness is a potential risk due to the high elevation. Trekkers must acclimatize properly, stay hydrated, and ascend gradually to avoid symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and dizziness.
The region is home to rare Himalayan wildlife, including snow leopards, Himalayan tahrs, blue sheep, and a variety of high-altitude birds. Lucky trekkers may spot these elusive species in their natural habitat.
Yes, hiring a guide is strongly recommended. The terrain is tough, trails are unmarked, and weather conditions can be unpredictable. A guide ensures safety, navigation, and a better understanding of the landscape.
Yes, you can join the trek to Ralam Dhura Pass. The trek’s difficulty level is moderate and can be attained without someone’s support. Wear robust footwear, and comfortable clothes, and maintain basic fitness to complete the trek.
