Kedartal (otherwise called Shiva's lake) is a frosty lake arranged at a height of 4,750 meters (15,580 ft) in the Garhwal district of the Himalayas in India. The lake is taken care of by the snowfall over Thalay Sagar (6,904 m), Meru (6,672 m), Bhrigupanth (6,772 m) and other surrounding peak , and is the source of Kedar Ganga, which in Hindu folklore is viewed as Shiva's contribution to Bhagirathi (a source-stream of the Ganges.
Kedartal, a distance off of 17 km from Gangotri, is a well known trekking destination. Beginning from Gangotri the route includes a lofty rough move along the thin Kedar Ganga gorge in transit to Bhojkharak, 8 km away. From that point it is 4 km to the following accessible camping area of Kedarkharak, and a further 5 km to Kedartal. The route passes through picturesque Himalayan birch woods, yet is made risky in places by falling rocks, high height and portions of steep climb.
