Lake discovered by a team of boys in the higher altitudes of Uttarakhand
A piece of heart-pleasing news from the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand, where, six boys from the Devbhumi discovered an undiscovered lake near Panpatia Glacier. These boys trekked 60 kilometers for about 6 days when they found this beautiful pond situated at an elevation of 16,500 feet.
This lake is 60 kilometers away from the Madmaheshwar Dham which is situated in Rudraprayag. The newly discovered lake is a beautiful heart-shaped form.
Who are those six boys?
The six enthusiastic boys who discovered this mesmerizing lake are all residents of Uttarakhand. Abhishek Panwar and Akash Panwar hail from Gaundar village. Vinay Negi and Lalit Lingwal hail from Badiyargarh, Tehri-Garhwal. Deepak Panwar hails from Mansuna. Arun Rawat hails from Srinagar Garhwal.
Adventurous trek to the unknown lake
The group of six boys took six days to cover a total distance of 60 kilometers. The group of boys had to spend two days on the glacier. The walking trail toward this heart-shaped unknown lake is quite dangerous. The group researched for about five months on Google Earth maps before embarking on this adventurous journey of discovering the beauty of nature.
About the newly discovered lake
According to Abhishek Panwar, one has to take the route of Madmaheshwar Dhaulas to reach this lake. As per them, the circumference of the lake is approximately 1 kilometer. Vinay Negi said that the depth of the lake is very deep, given its green color. Bubbles are being produced by throwing stones. Deepak Panwar said that the lake is surrounded by rugged rocks with no grasslands. Due to the high altitude, snow is retained for a longer period in the region.
The experienced and certified team
Two people in this group are the technical guides. Vinay Negi and Deepak Singh are NIM VMC certified. Abhishek Singh and Akash Singh are the local guides. The group is contemplating naming this newly discovered lake.
