The Complete Guide to Beas Kund Trek
Beas Kund is the origin of mighty Beas river. It's a beautiful glacial lake forming the beas river which gives life to millions of people in the Himalayas. Some mythology says that the great sage Vyasa used to take bath in Beas Kund and that's why this lake is named after him. This lake is 3700m above sea level. Trek to Beas Kund is moderate in difficulty with rocky trails and meadows land. Most of the trekkers find it as one of the easiest trek. Beas Kund offers you the panoramic view of the greatest summit like Hanuman Tibba , Shitidhar, Seven Sisters, and the Friendship Peak. The best time to visit this holy lake is during the summer season from mid-April to June.
It's a three day trek packed with adventures like you have never faced before. Mountains covered with green sheet and white Beas river carving the mountain and sheep grazing in meadows land forms the perfect landscape which you can never forget. For next 3 days you will live under the roof of tents, in the lap of mountains, in safe hands of professional guides of The Trippy Frog community.
