    Prashar Lake Trek

    This trek to the Prashar Lake is a beautiful adventure across gorgeous, green Himachali mountains. You'll find yourself hiking through dense, overgrown forests of pine and oak trees with colourful rhododendron flowers all around. En route, you can stop at vantage points to catch your breath and take in stunning views of mountains in the Dhauladhar range. At your destination, beautiful views of a stillwater lake with reflections of surrounding hills await your arrival. After a night spent around a bonfire, you'll sleep in tents and wake up for an early morning session of yoga and meditation in the lap of Himalayas.

    Destination

    Prashar Lake, tucked away at an altitude of over 9,000 feet, is a stillwater lake named after a sage who lived and meditated on the banks of the lake. The picturesque body of water can immediately be identified because of a small, circular island. The locals have often reported the small island to move around the lake several times, giving rise to the curious case of the moving island. The easy, yet enchanting trail, crossed with tiny river streams and rivulets, is perfect for first time trekkers and families looking for a quick escape into nature.
