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.
