Munsyari
Wayfarer Mountain Resort Uttaranchal
: There are a few
places in the world that defy description. You only have to get
there to experience their uniqueness. Munsyari is one such place.
Hidden away amongst the mountains in India's border district of
Pithoragarh at a height of 7000 feet Munsyari is probably the closest
you can get to experiencing the Greater Himalayas from hand shaking
distance. At Munsyari you have the majestic Panch Chulli peak towering
all of 22600 feet right in front of you.
Amidst virgin
forests, fabulous snow laden mountains and countless glacial springs
the small town of Munsyari is the gateway to the famous Milam and
Ralam glaciers. Munsyari is also your only access to one of India's
highest mountain - Nanda Devi East (7434 mts).
