Discover the wonders of Himalayas with Bhrigu Lake Trek. Join us to visit the sacred lake for Hindus situated at the height
of 14,100ft. As per the facts Hindu Rishi Bhrigu used to meditate at this
place, and it is believed the water of the lake is also holy. Situated at the
east of Rohtang pass, the lake freezes during winters. You can observe a thin
white layer of snow over the lake which looks very glistering.
On day 1 you will be welcomed at our
hostel that is the Moustache Manali, feel the warmth at the property. Check in
to your dorm rooms which will be shared by the trekkers and the fellow
travellers. Indulge into the hostel culture and have a good time exploring the
property. You can also step out and enjoy the cafe hopping, the market of Old
Manali consists of many good cafes, enjoy the German bakery and the other
appetite offered there, In the late evening get back to the hostel and enjoy
the hot meals served and retire as the real adventure starts from tomorrow.
On day 2 you start the trek from Kluang
to Moridugh, the path to this lake is rocky goes through the dense forest, the
last leg that is few km from the lake the trail ascends, as it's a high
altitude lake you should take care about the time spent at the highest point,
capture the white surrounding, play with snow and register as many as memories
you can. Once you reach the Bhrigu Lake have a glistering view of most peaks of
Dhauladhar range such as Hanuman Tibba (Highest peak in Dhauladhar range 5928
Meter), Manali peak, and Friendship Peak.
Manali is the hub of many treks, tours
and adventure activities, situated at an elevation of 6,700 ft. with river Beas
flowing by the side. On day 1 you will be welcomed at Old Manali which is said
to the best hideout from the Manali crowd. People who are young at heart always
enjoy the hospitality offered here. The vibe and the energy of this place is
totally different, also the river Manalsu flowing across which meets with the
Beas river.
The alpine pond of Bhrigu is located
east of the renowned Rohtang pass. While on the course, you'll witness
practically every imaginable variation that a mid-altitude trail can provide. The
pond's name comes from Bhrigu Peak, which is located nearby. According to
mythology, Maharishi Bhrigu of Saptarishi pondered just on the shore of this
lonely and pure lake, which is located at 4160 meters (13645 feet) over sea
level. For even more than part of the year, the tiny lake is iced. In the
summertime, the joy of strolling on ice can be enjoyed by those on this trek.
Come along on the Bhrigu Lake Trek!
The trail begins 12 kilometres outside
of Manali, in Kulhan on Rohtang Road. To get to Moridugh, it first passes
through a beautiful woodland of pine, maple, oak, and conifers. We proceed
through beautiful green alpine meadows as we pass the tree line. Bhrigu lake Trekking invites you to visit it!
From springtime to summers to fall, the
colors of the grasslands shifts with Bhrigu lake weather. On both
sides of the Bhrigu Lake, there is a sloping meadow area. The
"Bird's-eye" vistas of the neighbouring valleys, such as Manali,
Solang, and Gulaba, are unmissable. The vistas of the snow-capped summits and
ranges of Dhauladhar and Pir Panjal are breathtaking once we approach the
plains. The peaks of Hampta valley, such as Deo Tibba and Indrasan, may be seen

Tibba, Ladakhi, Shetidhar, Friendship, and Chandrabhaga (CB) ranges.
