Thamari Kund is a pristine natural freshwater lake hidden amidst dense alpine forests of alpine paper birch, rhododendron, and oak trees roughly 9 km before Munsiyari near the Betulidhar ridge. Revered by local villagers as a sacred natural water reservoir, local folklore holds that whenever the region suffers from drought, prayers and rituals performed at Thamari Kund bring timely rains.

The lake is reached via an exhilarating 3 km nature trek through untouched high altitude woods that serve as a habitat for musk deer, monal pheasants, and diverse Himalayan flora. Travelers touring eastern Uttarakhand cherish the calm reflections of surrounding alpine canopies and snowy peaks shimmering upon the crystal clear lake waters.
Truth is, the quiet chirping of alpine birds around the lake banks offers complete mental relaxation. The trekking trail and lake are open during daylight hours with zero admission fees.
The best months to trek to Thamari Kund are from March to June and September to November for pleasant weather and clear trails.
