Kafni Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

The Kafni Glacier lies in the upper reaches of the Kumaon Himalayas in India, southeast of the peak Nanda Devi. It feeds the Kafni River, a tributary of the Pindar River, which in turn feeds the Alaknanda River, one of the two headstreams of the Ganges. A relatively small glacier, it is a popular trekking destination alongside the nearby Pindari Glacier.
