Q. Where does the Alaknanda River originate?
Answer: Satopanth Glacier
Notes: The Alaknanda River originates from the Satopanth Glacier and Bhagirath Kharak Glacier in Uttarakhand. It is one of the main headstreams of the Ganga and is hydrologically its primary source. Milam and Bandarpoonch glaciers are sources of other rivers, not the Alaknanda.
