Kagbhusandi Lake[/b]

It is a small oblong lake of emerald green water at an altitude of about 5000 m. near Kankul Pass (5230 m.); almost a kilometre in length. Myriad blossoms decorate its banks during the season with some of the wildest profusion of colours and make one forget the hardships and the exhaustion of the trek. Set in the lap of Hathi Parbat (6730 m.),

The lake can be approached either from Bhyunder village, near Ghangaria or from Vishnu Prayag.

Delhi- rishikesh- Joshimath
Joshimath- Govindghat (30km before Badrinath)- Bhyunder
Bhyunder- X location
X location- Y location
Y location- Kagbhusandi Lake
Return as same

The trek from the former is a little easier in gradient than the latter one, but longer. The trek from Bhyunder passes through thick bear infested forests, and stretches of stinging nettles without any shelters, except shepherd huts. It also involves walking on glacial moraines and slippery rocks over long distances. Local guides are available at Bhyunder village.

This trek is a three day long trek and it offers numerous opportunities of viewing several varieties of high altitude Rhododendron, Bhram Kamal and rare wild animal like Brown Beer

This trek is not popular but many Bengalis go their to see different varieties of Bharam Kamal

Cheers

Near Mussorie

There are many things to visit in & around Mussorie.........but it is depend of the taste of a traveler what he want to see for ex, mountains, sunrise, sunset, temple, architecture, people etc

You can see

2. Mall road
3. Old Chruches
4. Camty fall
5. Dhanolti & its tip & top- 30 km away
6. Surkanda Devi temple- 36 km & 2 km trek
    one can see snow peaks if whether is clear
7. Lakshagrah- 60 km away where Kauravs tried to burn Pandavas
8. Tehri Dam is a big attraction but it will consume full day

Pranam Himanshu Ji,

It is not possible for the trip of VoF in 2 days, it takes atlest 2 days to see the beauty of VoF

The itinerary is as

Day 1 Chandigarh- Rishikesh- Joshimath
Day 2 Joshimath- Govindghat (30 km before Badrinath)- Ghagaria
Day 3 Ghagaria- VoF & back
Day 4 Ghagaria- Hemkund Sahib & back
Day 5 Ghagaria- Govindhat- Joshimath or Karprayag/ Srinagar
Day 6 Karprayag- Rishkesh- Chandigarh

>I am not sure about buses from Dehradun (there might be but only in early morning) but Rishikesh is the major hub for chard dham yatra,
There is a bus service called Vishw Nath Sewa from Haridwar/ Rishikesh & they have very good buses 2x2 seats & very comfortable & they leave by 0400-0500 hrs, try to catch them

> By road Chandigarh- Joshimath is appx 500 km………. it will take atleat 10-11 hrs (by bus 12 hrs)from Rishikesh to Joshimath

>Train & bus is a cheap option in respect of cab
   If you will take cab he will charge you not less than 8-10 k for the whole trip & if you are in a group of 4-6 friends then it is good to hire cab or you can take a shared jeep from Rishikesh to Joshimath, he will charge you appx rs. 300+

> You can stay in Gurudwara in Joshimath, Govindghat, Ghagaria

The near by places of VoF is Hemkund Sahib, Badrinath, Mana village (last village of India), Vasundra Fall, Auli, Kalp Vriksh (Joshimath- Under this tree Shri Shankracharya done his tapasya, almost 3000 year old), Nar Singh Temple (Joshimath),

Information- the bridge which was connecting Joshimath town to badrinath highway was broken last week, hence, many people were stuck there
I do not have the current information

Cheers
Kiran
