It is located at an altitude of approximately four thousand seven hundred meters height above Sea level. It is formed by melting glacier. The Kedar Tal Lake is one of the great mythologies of the Hindu religion. It is viewed as a contribution of the lord Shiva to the holy River Bhagirathi. The Kedar Lake is located at a distance of approximately seventeen kilometers from the Gangotri town. It has an advantage due to the location.

It is toured from Gangotri town via the Kedar Ganges route.

Kedartal, at a distance of 17 km from Gangotri, is a popular trekking destination. Starting from Gangotri the route involves a steep rocky climb along the narrow Kedar Ganga gorge en route to Bhojkharak, 8km away. From there it's 4km to the next available camping site of Kedarkharak, and a further 5km to Kedartal. The route passes through scenic Himalayan birch forests, but is made hazardous in places by falling rocks, high altitude and segments of steep ascent.
