Milam glacier falls under the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve limits. In case you want to enter a national park limits, you will need a Protected Area's Permit to enter the national park. The permit to enter this can be obtained from the forest department in Joshimath or Dehradun. The other option is to contact them and see if you can get the permit from some other source.

Most of the national parks in India mandate a guide as this would prevent the tourists/trekkers from wandering off the set trails. I do not see why this would be any different in NDBR (Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve) as this is a UNESCO world heritage site. Most of the guides for the NDBR are located in Joshimath.

The other option is to directly contact a trekking agency in Joshimath and allow them to arrange for both the guides and the permit for you.
