The earthly source of the #Yamuna River is not #Yamunotri but it is #Sapta-rishi-kund (where the Sapta-rishis performed austerities for millions of years during Satya-yuga) , some 10kms above Yamunotri
It is one of the most tedious treks in the Himalayas
Pic is of 1995

The kund is located on the lap of the towering Kalinda-parvat, which is fed by the Champasar Glacier (4421m)
Also, the Bandarpunch Glacier on the northern slope of the Bandarpunch mountain range (6102m-6387m), feeds into the Yamuna basin via the Ruinsar Gad (River) at Seema
Bandarpuch means "tail of the monkey" or Hanuman's tail
After Hanuman's tail set on fire in Lanka, he came here to extinguished fire in the snow, which melted & became Hanuman-Ganga that meets Yamuna at Hanuman chatti
Having so many pics of 1995 of different treks if these seems interesting should i continue these type of threads daily?
