Namik Glacier, Himalayan glacier in Pithoragarh district, Uttarakhand, India

The Namik Glacier extends at 3,600 meters elevation in the Kumaon Himalayas, surrounded by peaks including Nanda Devi, Nanda Kot, and Trishuli mountains.

The glacier location marks an ancient trade path between India and Tibet, connecting mountain communities through established commercial routes across the Himalayas.

The Bhotia people maintain their traditions in Namik village near the glacier, preserving wooden architecture and mountain lifestyle through generations.

Visitors initiate the trek from Gogina village on Sama Liti Road, reaching the glacier through a 23-kilometer path that requires proper hiking equipment.

The glacier functions as the source of the Ramganga River, with numerous waterfalls and natural sulphur springs emerging from its surrounding terrain.
