Beas Kund is a high-altitude alpine lake that sits royally amidst the mountains of Himachal
Pradesh at an altitude of 12,139 Ft. This taintless beauty is the origin of Beas River, which is
believed to be the water body where Sage Vyas use to take bath while he meditated. Beas Kund
Trek starts from Solang Nallah which is a popular destination in Manali for skiing and
paragliding. Mesmerizing meadows of Dhundi and Bakarthach will be a part of your trail on
Beas Kund Trek. Majestic peaks like Hanuman Tibba, Friendship Peak, Shitidhar, and Seven
Sisters will be your companion on this trek. One will also come across the Beas Kund Glacier
while advancing towards Beas Kund. Pluck the wild strawberries and mushrooms on your way
and lazily watch the herds of sheep and goats grazing. This summer trek is a perfect choice for
the beginners because of its short duration and easy difficulty level.
