Satopanth Tal

Satopanth Tal is a lake in Uttarakhand, India, located in the midst of snow-capped peaks at an altitude of 4,600 metres (15,100 ft) above sea-level.

[1] Located in the midst of snow-capped peaks at an altitude of 16,000 feet from sea level, Satopanth Tal is 22 km from Badrinath.

Many people believe that the Trimoortis, viz, Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, bathe in the lake in an auspicious day.

[clarification needed] The local belief is that they are the Gandharvas disguised, who guard the lake against evils.

There are no night stay places, so a tent, stove, food and mattress are needed.
