Bhrigu Lake Trek, Himachal Pradesh
Offering tremendous natural beauty and stunning vistas of snow-capped mountains, verdant forests and lush meadows, the Bhrigu Lake trek in Himachal Pradesh is one of the most favorite treks amongst trekkers and nature enthusiasts. One of the high-altitude lakes in India, sitting in the lap of Garhwal Himalayas in the Kullu region, Lake Bhrigu is associated with the Sage Bhrig who is believed to have meditated on the banks of this serene lake many thousands of years back. Not a very challenging trek, the Bhrigu Lake trek can be ventured on by even the beginners provided their physical fitness and stamina are up to the mark. Mesmerizing views of the 'Deo Tibba', 'Hanuman Tibba' and 'Seven Sister' peaks in the Pir-Panjal ranges, virgin forests of cedar and silver oak, vast expanses of green pasture lands, multi-hued carpets of alpine flowers, and shimmering water streams along the trails make your trekking experience even more fun and overwhelming. An occasional rendezvous with some of the wildlife species including the Snow Cocks, Pheasants, and Himalayan Monal adds to the charm of this beautiful journey.
As you finally reach your destination, captivating views of the azure blue waters of the lake cradling in the lap of snow-laden peaks, embrace you with open arms. The beauty of the scenery gets beyond words when the sun rays falling on the shimmering waters of the lake turn it into different hues with each passing moment.
