INTRODUCTION

Beas kund trek is one of the most popular trek that this valley has to offer. Taking us to the origin of River beas, its a small glacial lake surrounded by meadows and some ecstatic scenic beauty of the Pir Panjal ranges. Located at an altitude of 3690m this place for sure is a mesmerizing treat.
