Located in
Rudraprayag District, Chorbari Bamak is a 6 km long glacier that originates from the southern slopes of
Kedar Dome,
Bharte Khunta and
Kirti Stambh. It is this hill range that acts as the water divide, which separates the
Gangotri group of glaciers and the Chorbari glacier.
The glacier is fed by several hanging glaciers and avalanche chutes. It starts from its accumulation zone, which is around 600 m, and terminates at an altitude of 3800 m. A snow-fed stream called Mandakini originates from this point.
The glacier is situated just 3 km from the Kedarnath temple.
