Chattrakund is a serene freshwater natural lake tucked inside dense oak, pine, and rhododendron forests at an altitude of approximately 3,300 meters (10,826 feet) near Auli in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. Perched just 1 km beyond the scenic alpine meadows of Gurso Bugyal and 4 km from the upper ski slopes of Auli, this crystal clear forest pond is famous for its exceptionally sweet, potable spring water and peaceful wilderness ambiance.

Surrounded by towering coniferous canopy and moss covered boulders, Chattrakund feels like a hidden fairytale pool far away from commercial tourist crowds. The clear lake surface mirrors the deep green forest canopy and glimpses of snowy Himalayan giants including Mount Nanda Devi and Mount Trishul. Visitors exploring Auli(Uk) enjoy a gentle 4 km forest hike from Auli ropeway Tower 10, relax by the mossy lakeside banks, picnic under the shade of ancient oaks, and take in the pure mountain air before trekking onward to Kwani Bugyal.
