    Explore Uttarakhand's serene lakes, Kund & Taal in Garhwal & Kumaon, like Nainital, Bhimtal & Roopkund etc, blending natural beauty, adventure, & spirituality.

Lakes, Kund and Taal in Uttarakhand - Kumaon and Garhwal Regions

Uttarakhand, known as the "Land of Gods," is blessed with pristine lakes that adorn its Kumaon and Garhwal regions, offering breathtaking landscapes and tranquil escapes.

Kumaon Region

The Kumaon region is renowned for its picturesque lakes, collectively called the "Lake District of India." Nainital Lake, a crescent-shaped gem, is the most famous, surrounded by verdant hills and a bustling town. Bhimtal, larger and quieter, features a small island with a quaint aquarium. Sattal, a cluster of seven interconnected lakes, and Naukuchiatal, with its nine corners, are havens for birdwatchers and adventure enthusiasts. Khurpatal and Malankhet Lake are lesser-known yet captivating, offering serene solitude.

Garhwal Region

In the Garhwal Himalayas, lakes hold spiritual significance. The high-altitude Roopkund Lake, shrouded in mystery with ancient human skeletons, lies amidst a stunning trekking route. Hemkund Sahib, a sacred glacial lake surrounded by snow-capped peaks, is a revered pilgrimage site. Deoria Tal, reflecting the majestic Chaukhamba peaks, is a photographer's paradise. Other hidden jewels include Dodital, believed to be Lord Ganesha’s birthplace, and the emerald-green Vasuki Tal near Kedarnath.

These lakes not only enhance Uttarakhand’s natural beauty but also offer opportunities for trekking, boating, and spiritual exploration, making them must-visit destinations for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
