NAMIK CAVES

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

Unspecified caves (most likely daylight-lit rock shelters) recommends principal ARYAN (1992: 108) to be used while exploiting the trekking and environmental scenario of Kumaun Himalaya (sic!) with special reference to the night rest on the trekking tracks ( ARYAN 1992: 106) to a so-called Namik glaciers, which are believed to consist of a cluster of glaciers namely Heeramani, Namik, Andra [note 1] and various small glaciers (ARYAN 1992: 104). SITUATION: The glaciers north of the village of Namik come down the south-eastern flanks of Nanda Devi in an area at linear distances of about 10 km east of Pindari glacier and about 28 km approximately north-west of Munsyari (Munsiary N30°02': E080°08') in the area where the districts of Bageshwar and Pithoragarh meet. SITUATION 2: ARYAN (1992: 104-105) does not explain where these unspecified caves (or so) are to be found but believes, literally quoted, that the trekkers can go to this glacier by three routes i.e. firstly, Haldwani [note 2]or Almora [note 3] to Queetee [note 4] in Pithoragarh [district] by bus, Queetee to Chaunfoodhar [note 5] near Namik village [note 6] 14 km, Chaunfoodhar (Pankhu) Udyar 13 km, Pankhu to Heeramani and middle of Heeramani and Namik glacier nearly 04 to 05 km, secondly Almora to Liti [note 7], in Almora [district] 131 km by bus and same route as first one, thirdly, Gogina [note 8] to Naeebagar 15 km, Nayee bagar to Khar bagar 9 km, Kharbagar to middle of Heeramani and Namik glacier crossing the Namik glacier 10 km and from this point to Udyar nearly 04 to 05 km. The third route is along the river Ramganga from Namikghat by crossing the river many times [note 9]. The trekking route from Liti to Namik is better than the rest two ones.Unspecified caves (most likely daylight-lit rock shelters) recommends principal ARYAN (1992: 108) to be used while exploiting the trekking and environmental scenario of Kumaun Himalaya (sic!) with special reference to the night rest on the trekking tracks ( ARYAN 1992: 106) to a so-called Namik glaciers, which are believed to consist of a cluster of glaciers namely Heeramani, Namik, Andra [note 1] and various small glaciers (ARYAN 1992: 104).
