| has gloss | eng: The Pindar River is a river in Uttarakhand, India. It emerges from the Pindari Glacier and flows into the Alaknanda River at Karanprayag. The river, in its initial course, flows through sedimentary rocks. Further to the south, it meanders through quarts schist. Granite is found in abundance in this area. The Pindar river has cut a gorge in thick glacial deposits up to nearly 10 km, resulting in the formation of spacious glacial terraces spread on both sides of the gorge. Further down, from Phurkia up to Khati, places en route to the Pindari Glacier, there are numerous waterfalls, hanging valleys and tremendous rolls cliffs as the one of at Dwali. |
