The name Sunderdhunga means 'Valley of Beautiful Stones', a testament to the picturesque terrain that hikers encounter on their journey to the glacier. The trek to the glacier is a challenging one, passing through lush forests, alpine meadows, and remote villages. It also offers trekkers a chance to witness a diverse range of flora and fauna, which thrives in the varied altitudinal zones covered during the hike. The trailhead is located at Song, which is accessible from Bageshwar, and the trek spans multiple days, with common stops at places like Dhakuri, Khati, and Kathalia.
