Geography

edit

The alpine trans-humant village of Milam is located one kilometer below the snout of the Milam glacier. Here a left-bank stream called Gonka joins the Gori. The valley provides the approach route for access to peaks such as Nanda Devi East, Hardeol, Trishuli, Panchchuli and Nanda Kot.
