Kagbhusandi Lake is a small oblong lake of emerald green water near Kankul Paas at an altitude of about 5230 m. It is in the lap of Hathi Parbat (6730 m) and can be approached via Bhyundar or Vishnuprayag. The trek which makes its way through Bhyundar is infested by bears and stretches of stinging nettles. The trek varies from moderate to challenging as it also involves walking on glacial moraines and slippery rocks. It is still untouched to a great extent as is considered as one of the toughest treks in the Garhwal region of the Himalayas.
Kag is the Sanskrit word for crow. The lake is called Kagbhusandi as a large number of crows come here to die a local legend suggests. Two huge rocks on the spur of the Hathi Parbat are imagined as a crow and an eagle. Locals also believe that the crow is intensely conversing with the eagle on the affairs of the universe. It is also believed that a learned Brahmin of Ayodhya once laid itself open to the rage of the sage Lomas and thus was changed into a crow by him.
