Pindari is the most accessible Glacier, which lies on the outer ring of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary in the Kumaon Himalaya. The Pindari Glacier forms the snout of the river Pindar which forms the tributary of river Alaknanda which further joins the Bhagirathi to form The Ganges at Dev Prayag.

The area is rich in flora and fauna. Wide variety of Conifers, Cedar, Rhododendrons and Oak can be seen. Rhododendron changes its colour from purple to pink as the altitude increases. The area of Pindari also serves as Paradise for the Bird watchers; one can always see The Red Billed Blue Magpie, The Black Throated- Jay, Himalayan Nut Cracker and various other pheasants melodiously singing to the tune of nature. One should always be on the outlook for a Musk Deer, Bharal, Snow Fox, Barking Deer and The Great Himalayan Bear.

The everlasting beauty and the breathtaking view of the snow clad summits of Nanda Kot, Maiktoli, Nanda Khat, Panwalidwar and the mountain slopes proceeding towards the icy splendor of the Himalaya makes you feel your spirits soar and exhilaration becomes your companion. The mere sight of these mountains can arouse the maddening effect human passion.
