Gwaldam Hill Station
Gwaldam with its salubrious weather and unspoiled serenity is a little heaven, nestling in the woods. The entire area up to Talwar is full of some of the most beautiful orchids. A 3 km trek amidst bewitchingly beautiful nature in the company of nameless flowers, endless springs, and countless birds will take you to Badhangarhi temple, perched on a narrow ridge. From here you can have a glimpse of the never seen marvels of the Himalayas.
The famous Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra goes through Gwaldam and the trek to the mysterious Roopkund Lake is the most renowned trekking excursion of Gwaldam.
