The valley Sunderdhunga lies along Sunderdhunga gad (Stream) which sticks together the Pinder River just below the Khati village.

Beyond Jatoli there is nature at its best Rippling streams, waterfalls, undisturbed wildlife and open meadows. Apart from this, there is a towering southern ring on the Nanda Devi Sanctuary whose peaks like Mrigthuni, Maiktoli, and Panwali Dwar are adjoined together with sharp ridges and hanging glaciers, dominate the Sunderdhunga valley. The upper reaches of the valley open at the meadows of Kathalia where local shepherds move in with their flocks during summer.

About Kafni Glacier Trek:
The Kafni Glacier trek lies on the same route as that of Pindari and Sunderganga but it deviates near the end of the route and as it reaches the Kafni Glacier. This glacier can be reached both from Almora as well as Kathgodam depending on the route chosen. The common beginning point for both these routes is in Bageshwar. The trek starts from Loharkhet and turns to Dhakuri which is a gentle incline that leads to Khati. From here trekkers pass through several quaint villages before reaching Khatiya. The best part about this trek is that it passes through more regions which include Loharkhet, Phurkia, Diwali and then Kafni Glacier.
The Kafni Glacier Trek is an easy to moderate trek and it is located near the Pindar Valley. The best time to explore this wonderful trekking trail is Mid-March to Mid-June or Mid-September to Mid- November. During winters the temperature drops below zero leading to a good amount of snow.
