History & Origin

Considered a sacred water source by local villagers, Thamri Kund is believed to be the home of forest deities who protect the water table of the Munsyari region.

The Emerald Eye of the Forest

Thamri Kund is one of Munsyari's best-kept secrets. While most tourists head for the heights of Khaliya Top, those seeking absolute silence find their way to this serene lake.

The Journey:

  • The Trek: A gentle 3-km trek from the Betulidhar bend. It is a flat walk compared to other Munsyari trails, making it perfect for families.
  • The Flora: The path is lined with ancient Oaks and the rare 'Bhojpatra' (Paper-wood) trees.
  • Wild Sightings: It is a prime spot for birdwatching and spotting the Musk Deer coming to the water's edge in the early hours.

Pithora.one Tip:

This is a high-potential spot for Eco-Picnics. We can promote a "Leave No Trace" policy here to keep the lake pristine as tourism grows.
