This is a small oblong lake with emerald green water. It is at
an altitude of 5230 mts., near Kankul Pass(5230 mts.), and is
almost a kilometer in length. Myriad blossoms decorate its
banks during the season, a wildest profusion of colours make
the trekker forget the hardships and the exhaustion of the
trek. Set in the lap of Hathi Parvat (6730 mts.), the lake can
be approached either from Bhiundhar village, near Ghangria, or
from Vishnu Prayag. The trek from the former is a little
easier in gradient, but is longer. |
|
The trek from Bhiundhar passes through thick bear-infested,
forests and stretches of stinging nettles. The only shelters
here are the shepherd huts. This trek also involves walking
long distances across glacial moraines and over slippery
rocks.
Two huge rocks on a spur of Hathi Parvat are described as a
crow(Kaga) and an Eagle (Garuda). The locals believe that the
crow is animatedly conversing with Garuda on the affairs of
the universe. Another version has it that a learned Brahmin of
Ayodhya once incurred the wrath of the sage Lomas who lived
here and was changed into the form of crow by the sage. |
