The Mandakini River is a tributary of the Alaknanda River and is known for its significance in the religious and natural landscape of the Kedarnath region. It flows through the picturesque valleys of the Himalayas, making it an important part of the region’s ecosystem.
The Mandakini River originates from the Chorabari Glacier, which is situated near the Kedarnath Temple at an elevation of about 6,940 meters (22,769 feet) above sea level.
It then flows through the Kedarnath Valley and eventually joins the Alaknanda River near Rudraprayag, further downstream in the state of Uttarakhand, India. The river’s pristine waters and the surrounding natural beauty make it a significant attraction for pilgrims and tourists visiting the Kedarnath Temple and the surrounding area.
