Chorabari Tal (Gandhi Sarovar)

Chorabari Tal (Gandhi Sarovar) is a sacred glacial lake 1.5 km above Kedarnath at 3,900 m — the source of the Mandakini River. Named Gandhi Sarovar after Mahatma Gandhi's ashes were immersed here, it is a short but steep hike from Kedarnath. The lake offers breathtaking views of Kedarnath peak and the surrounding glacial cirque. A rewarding and relatively accessible trek for Kedarnath pilgrims wanting to extend their time in the high Himalayan landscape.
