Mukta Top Winter Trek Overview

Mukta Top Winter Trek is the perfect choice for all those who are craving for a virginal trek in Garhwal Uttarakhand. This region was opened for trekking only in 2018, so it is an untouched destination, making it ideal for those who love seclusion. The trek goes through a forest trail and you will come across a diverse range of flora and fauna when you embark on this trek. From the Mukta Top you will get spectacular views of snow-clad Gangotri ranges, Jaonli, Kalanag and Nag Tibba, and Bandarpoonch peak. During the winter months the entire meadow gets covered in thick layer of snow. The trek is perfect for both beginners and experienced trekkers and those who are wary of popular winter treks like Kedarkantha, Brahmatal, and Dayara Bugyal treks.
