Saptarishi Kund

Saptarishi Kund is the true source of the Yamuna River — a pristine glacial lake at 4,421 m on the slopes of Kalind Mountain above Yamunotri. A challenging high-altitude trek of 4–5 days from Yamunotri through alpine meadows, moraines, and snowfields, it rewards with an extraordinarily remote and beautiful glacial lake set amid towering Himalayan peaks. Named after the seven sages (saptarishi) who meditated here, it is one of Uttarakhand's most rewarding offbeat high-altitude treks.
