Sapt kund (literally meaning seven lakes) is a group of mysterious lakes nestled in the foothills of gigantic Nanda ghunti peak. The lakes are located in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand at an altitude of 5000 meters. The trek to the lakes is an arduous one, but amassing with flora & fauna, pristine landscapes and unpredictable Himalayan weather.
Sapt kund lakesare sacred to Hindus. Legends has it that Lord Shiva himself lived here. Every year locals from surrounding villages visits the lake as a part of annual ritual. Sapt kund trek is amongst the unknown ones in Himalayas.
The highlight of the Sapt Kund lake trek is going through Simbe Bugyal (meadows) - the unknown valley of flowers – where you find kilometers of meadows covered with flowers of so many varieties. Of course you have to choose a right weather to witness this lost valley of flower. Best time is during August-September.
