Beas Kund Trek – An Ideal Himalayan Escape for Beginners
The Beas Kund Trek is one of the most scenic and beginner-friendly high-altitude treks in the Solang Valley, near Manali in Himachal Pradesh. Situated at an altitude of approximately 3,700 meters, Beas Kund is a pristine glacial lake and the sacred source of the Beas River, which flows through the picturesque Kullu Valley before merging with the Sutlej.
This short yet rewarding trek offers panoramic views of major Himalayan peaks such as Hanuman Tibba, Shitidhar, and Friendship Peak. For those seeking a quick mountain escape, the Beas Kund Trek delivers the thrill of high-altitude hiking without requiring advanced skills or experience.
The Legend of Sage Vyasa
According to Hindu mythology, Beas Kund is believed to be the place where Rishi Veda Vyasa, the revered sage and author of the Mahabharata, meditated and performed sacred rituals. It is said that the river was born when Vyasa summoned water using his yogic powers.
The name “Beas” originates from “Vyasa,” while “Kund” means a lake or pond. Therefore, Beas Kund translates to “the lake of Sage Vyasa.” Even today, the waters of this glacial lake are considered holy, and many trekkers collect it as a sacred blessing.
