Milam Glacier, Glacier in Pithoragarh, India

Located between 3,870 and 5,500 meters in elevation, Milam Glacier extends through the Kumaon region of the Himalayas in Uttarakhand state.

The glacier functions as the origin point of the Goriganga River, which later merges with the Kali River system in the northern mountains.

The Milam Glacier region serves as a natural boundary between India and Tibet, influencing local trade routes and traditional mountain communities.

Visitors need mandatory government permits to access the glacier, and the hiking season runs from May through October when weather conditions permit.

The glacier forms part of the largest ice mass in Kumaon, creating a specialized habitat for high-altitude flora and supporting regional water resources.
