  • The Bagpipe Treks

    The Bagpipe Treks

    1 THE BAGPIPE TREKS Small Treks in Lower hills of Kumaun and Himachal Many times I had to visit Delhi for a short visit from Mumbai. Dealing with babus and the bureaucracy in the capital city could be quite exhausting. So to relax, I would meet my friend, philosopher and guide, the famous writer, Bill Aitken . As we had lunch, watching cricket and talking mountains, he would suggest several ideas enough to fill in a year of trekking. Bill specialises and believes in ‘A Lateral Approach to the Himalaya’1 and would firmly suggest ‘more of the lesser’. I would tuck the information away in my mind and when an opportunity arose, I would go on these small treks from Delhi. Some were 10 days and some were only 4 days (return). We called them ‘The Bagpipe Treks’. Chiltha Ridge One such trip was along the well-trodden path to the Pindari glacier. We travelled from Delhi by an overnight train to Kathgodam, drove to Almora and reached Loharkhet, the starting point of this popular route. Our friends Harsingh and others from the nearby Harkot village were waiting for us with all arrangements. We crossed Dhakuri pass the next day enjoying wonderful views. Staying in rest houses, we enjoyed the forest via Khati and Dwali. The Pindari trail may be overcrowded or too popular but it is still beautiful. We retraced our steps back to Khati and climbed up a ridge to the east of village and were soon on the Chiltha Devi dhar (ridge). We spent the first night at Brijaling dhar and were rewarded with exquisite views of Pindari glacier and Nanda Kot peak.

Kumaon lies almost south to the great Himalayan range. It is moderate in its constitution. The lie of its land is gentler in its undulations, its lore more lyrical. What permeates the open valleys is a simpler, singular faith in the presiding deity of Kumaon- Nanda Devi, the goddess of Bliss. The destinations are hand-picked and the trip is a visual sensory overload for all the lovers of the Himalayas. Almost every day, you have a 180 degree view of high Himalayan peaks. Add to this the fantastic walks, cool climes, endless cups of tea, delicious food, jungle safaris, evenings around bonfire and Voila! You have a perfect journey.
