This lateral glacier situated in Tehri district is the source of river
Bhilangna. The glacier is surrounded by snow
peaks of the Jogin group (6466 m), Sphetic Pristwar (6905 m), Barte Kauter (6579 m) Kird Stambh (6902 m) and Meru. The moraines on the side of the glaciers look like standing walls of gravel mud.
The trek which starts from Ghuttu is easily approachable by motor from Dehradun, Tehri, Mussorie and the Rishikesh railhead. One has to trek about 45 kms. and pass through remote villages with thick Kharsao forest and wide open beautiful lush grassy meadows. The entry to the Bhilangna Valley provides excellent spots for camping. Tents and adequate provisions need to be arranged in advance from Rishikesh, Tehri and
Dehradun.
