The beautiful Bagini Glacier is nestled within the Nanda Devi National Park. The trek starts from the small village of Ruing and gives an opportunity to hike past the ancient village of Dronagiri. The sight of Rishikund’s immaculate emerald green water against the backdrop of the great peaks of Changabang, Kalanka, Safminal, and Rishi Parvat is purely transcendental.
