Khatling Glacier, Mountain glacier in Tehri Garhwal, India.

The Khatling Glacier extends across the Garhwal Himalayas at 4,800 meters altitude, forming the primary source of the Bhilangana River system.

The glacier has shaped the geological landscape of Tehri Garhwal over millennia, creating deep valleys and influencing human settlement patterns in Uttarakhand.

Local mountain communities maintain traditional practices and customs linked to the glacier, considering it a sacred natural element in their heritage.

Visitors can access the glacier through a 45-kilometer trek from Ghuttu town, with the optimal hiking season occurring between May and October.

In 2016, researchers from the Wildlife Institute of India documented the first appearance of snow leopards near the glacier's perimeter.
