Sona Glacier, Himalayan glacier in Pithoragarh, India
The Sona Glacier flows from southwest to northeast at the base of five Panchachuli peaks in the Lassar Yankti Darma Valley of Uttarakhand.
The glacier system has formed over centuries through snow accumulation, becoming part of the extensive network of 15,000 glaciers across the Himalayas.
Local communities in Uttarakhand incorporate glacier-related traditions into their practices, recognizing these ice formations as essential water sources.
Travelers can access Sona Glacier through a designated route that passes through the settlements of Tawaghat, Bailing, Son, and Duktu.
The glacier divides into upper and lower sections, positioned north of Meola Glacier, contributing to the formation of the Panchachuli glacier system.
