Johar Valley (also known as Milam Valley or Gori Ganga Valley) is a valley located in Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, India, along the Gori Ganga river. The valley used to be a major trade route with Tibet. The best known villages in the valley are Martoli and Milam.[1]

Geography

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.
