| Khatling Glacier |
|
 This
lateral glacier situtated in Tehri district is the
source of river Bhilangna. The glacier is surrounded
by snow peaks of the Jogin group (6466 m), Sphetic
Pristwar (6905 m), Barte Kauter (6579 m), Kirti Stambh
(6902 m) and Meru. The moraines on the side of the
glaciers look like standing walls of gravel mud.
The trek which starts from Ghuttu is easily approachable
by motor from Dehradun, Tehri, Mussoorie and the
Rishikesh railhead. One has to trek about 45 km
and pass through remote villages with thick kharsao
forest and wide open beautiful lush grassy meadows.
The entry to the Bhilangna valley provides excellent
spots for camping. Tents and adequate provisions
need to be arranged in advance from Rishikesh, Tehri
and Dehradun.
