It is located in the [[tehsil]] of [[Munsiyari]], part of the [[Pithoragarh district]] of [[Uttarakhand]], [[India]], about {{Convert|15|km|mi|0}} northeast of [[Nanda Devi]]. It ranges in elevation from about {{Convert|5500|m|ft|-2}} to about {{Convert|3870|m|ft|-1}} at its snout.&lt;ref name=&quot;garhwal-himalaya-ost&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;Garhwal-Himalaya-Ost&#039;&#039;, 1:150,000 scale topographic map, prepared in 1992 by Ernst Huber for the [[Swiss Foundation for Alpine Research]], based on maps of the [[Survey of India]].&lt;/ref&gt; It covers around {{convert|37|km2|sqmi|0|abbr=on}} and is {{Convert|16|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} long. Milam glacier was reopened in the year 1994. It was closed in 1962, so it was inaccessible for trekkers and other visitors. It is a popular destination among trekkers now. &lt;ref name=&quot;musetheplace&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;http://musetheplace.com/milam-glacier/&#039;&#039;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The suitable time to visit the glacier is from mid of March to May. Monsoons set in during the month June which herald the menace of landslides and roadblocks.&lt;ref name=&quot;musetheplace&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;http://musetheplace.com/milam-glacier/&#039;&#039;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The trekking for the Milam glacier commences from Munsiyari.&lt;ref name=&quot;musetheplace&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;http://musetheplace.com/milam-glacier/&#039;&#039;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Milam Glacier is situated on the south facing slope of the main Himalayan range. It originates from the eastern slope of [[Trishuli]] and the southern slope of its eastern subsidiary Kohli. The subsidiary glaciers coming off the peaks of [[Hardeol]], Mangraon (6,568 m), Deo Damla (6,637 m), and Sakram (6,254 m) on the eastern rim of the [[Nanda Devi National Park|Nanda Devi Sanctuary]] flow into it from the west, while on the east it is fed by glaciers from Nanda Gond (6,315 m) and Nanda Pal (6,306 m).&lt;ref name=&quot;garhwal-himalaya-ost&quot;/&gt; The glacier is the source of the [[Ghori Ganga|Goriganga River]]. The village of Milam lies near the snout of the glacier; [[Munsiyari]], further down the Goriganga valley, is the base for the trek to the glacier.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[List of glaciers]]<br /> * [[Shauka - Johar]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * http://musetheplace.com/milam-glacier/<br /> {{coord|30|29|N|80|06|E|type:glacier|display=title}}<br /> <br /> {{Hydrography of Uttarakhand}}<br /> [[Category:Glaciers of Uttarakhand]]<br /> [[Category:Hiking trails in Uttarakhand]]<br /> [[Category:Geography of Pithoragarh district]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Uttarakhand-geo-stub}}<br /> {{India-glacier-stub}}</div>
