Bhrigu Lake trek is a short trek perfect for those who do not have ample time but still want to experience trekking in this beautiful region. Starting from Gulaba village, which is just a short scenic drive from popular Manali, makes this trek much more accessible. Experience an immediate gratification of witnessing an endless carpet of beautiful grassland just 10 minutes into the trek. Typically, such a landscape is witnessed after a tough ascent of 2 days in India and hence this trek offers stunning views with very little effort. Snow capped mountains all around with stunning natural atmosphere is always eye catching. The peaks such as Hanuman Tibba, Friendship Peak, Ladhakhi Peak and Priyadarshini Range with Pir Panjal range are visible from the Lake.
The lake is also meant to be spiritual and holy to the locals and is worshiped by the pilgrims on special occasions. The lake is named after Maharishi Bhrigu. It is an ancient saying that the sage used to mediate near the lake for years. Hence it has been rendered sacred due to the locals believe that this lake never freezes completely.
Bhrigu Lake is one of the most sought after treks in India which is frequently toured by both beginners as well as experienced hikers.
