Kedartal Trek (also known as Shiva's lake) is a glacial lake situated at an altitude
of 4,750m (15,600 feet) in the Garhwal region of the Himalayas in India.
The lake is fed by the snowfall over Thalayasagar (6,904m), Meru
(6,672m), Bhirgupanth (6,772m) and other surrounding peaks, and is the
source of Kadar Ganga, which in Hindu mythology is considered to be
Shiva's contribution to Bhagirath.The pea green lake with melting snow
of Kadar glacier originate Kadar Ganga, a tributary of Bhagirathi,
measured as Lord Shiva’s contribution to Bhagirathi. One can encounter a
good variety of high altitude fauna e.g. Bharal (blue sheep), Goral,
Himalayan black bear with a great variety of birds. The trek is bit
challenging, but the rewards are very soaring.
