    History

    The Ralam Glacier region has a rich history intertwined with local Bhotiya culture. For centuries, the Bhotiya community has used these high-altitude passes for trade and transhumance, moving livestock between valleys according to the seasons. The glacier itself holds spiritual significance for the locals. While not as historically documented as some other Himalayan regions, the Ralam Glacier area has been explored by mountaineers and adventurers since the early 20th century. Its remoteness and challenging terrain have kept it relatively untouched, preserving its natural beauty. The trek has gained popularity in recent years as more people seek off-the-beaten-path Himalayan experiences. Preservation efforts are underway to ensure the sustainability of tourism and the protection of the fragile ecosystem.
