According to legend, the goddess Nanda Devi fled to this mountain to escape from an evil demon, and the area is still regarded as her sanctuary. Trekkers and mountaineers often find themselves immersed in these rich mythological stories, adding a spiritual dimension to the challenging and breathtaking journey.
