    Bhrigu Lake trek

    An easy to moderate trek, this 4-day trek takes you to the holy lake of Bhrigu. As legend has it, the ancient sage Bhrigu used to meditate on the banks of the lake, rendering its waters sacred. The route follows a scenic path through forests of oak, pine and cedar, and will give you plenty of great views.

    Every morning on this Bhrigu Lake trek begins with a yoga and meditation session so that you make the most of the spectacular views and the fresh mountain air. At nights, after a day of trekking, you'll enjoy a campfire and hot soup, followed by dinner. At night, you'll sleep in tents, with the sounds of nature outside.

    Destination

    On this trek, there's one moment you'll always remember: the first time you see Bhrigu Lake. At a height of 14,100 feet, with its unique crater shape and the towering peaks around, the glimmering Bhrigu lake is a stunning sight. However, the rest of the trail is gorgeous too, with alpine meadows dotted with wildflowers and views of Friendship Peak, and Hanuman Tibba Peak, as well as Rohtang Pass and Hampta Pass.
