Gandhi Sarovar ( Chorbari Tal ) Kedarnath Uttarakhand.

The destination was Gandhi Sarovar ( lake ) at the snout of Chorbari glacier at the elevation of 14,000'. The trek is 3.5 km from Kedarnath in Uttaranchal State, India. The frozen lake in month of May with snow all round it and back drop of Kedar Dome peak of Himalayas make it a fascinating place to be in.

Ruinsara Tal

Ruinsara tal in the Uttarakashi district of Garhwal himalaya, bordering Himachal pradesh is a calm, quiet and off beat natural spot. It is just a tow-day's walk from the famous Har-Ki-Doon valley and yet, very few people know about it. But it's certainly a reward for wondering souls who love to travel on off-beat trek and want to spend a few, quiet days in the lap of nature.

Gohna Lake


The formation and drainage of the famous Gohna lake in Chamoli district may be quoted as an example of the changes that go on in this region. This lake came into existence near village Gohna on 6 th august, 1893 by a huge land slide blocking the river Birehi Ganga. The lake was thrice the size of the lake at Nainital. On 26th august, 1896, one side gave away causing devastating floods. On october 10, 1910, the lake again overflowed and the resultant floods took a lot of pilgrims to death. Embankments were made in 1930 and the forest department released some trout. The lake became popular resort of the anglers. On 22 nd July, 1970, there was a cloud brust which made the lake overflow and break one side.
