Sahastra Taal also called Darshniya Taal which is a wide valley at height of 16,500 ft. asl and situated between Bhagirathi valley in the west and Bhilangana valley in the east. From Mahasar and Maharani Taal and also from Kush Kalyan Bugyal (Meadow), a high ridge continues towards north and several high altitude small and medium lakes are found on both side of the ridge. From Sahastra Tal, there is a way to go to Khatling Glacier, from where the Bhilangana River originates. This less frequented trail offers grazing pastures, lush green alpine meadows (Bugyal), high Himalayan ranges peaks including Bandarpunch, Black Peak / Kalanag, Jaonli, Srikanth, Draupadi Ka Danda along with Gangotri range.

Because it is surrounded by Gangotri ranges and lots of lakes and situated near the base of a Himalayan Sahastra Peak. Despite its increasing popularity, it is generally accessible for up to six months in a year due to its elevation and continuous snow.
The mystery of Sahastra Lake is like, Sahastra Taal means 1000 lakes. According to local people there used to be 1000 lakes earlier and legend a king performed a ritual on the shores of this lake by offering a thousand (Sahastra) Brahma Kamal flowers to Lord Vishnu. Some lakes are still and whose darshan is still a privilege for us. Sahastra Tal is said to be the largest and deepest lake of Garhwal, Uttarakhand.
