Bhrigu Lake

The Prettiest Grassland Trek in Himachal

TREK DIFFICULTY

TREK DURATION

HIGHEST ALTITUDE

A lot of trekkers do the Bhrigu Lake trek for the lake is steeped in mythology. This trek lies in Himachal Pradesh, around 20 km north of Manali and can be accessed from Gulaba.

It is known as the place where the famous saint Maharishi Bhrigu sat in deep meditation. However, we believe the lake is not the only thing the trek has to offer. You must do the Bhrigu Lake trek for its  grasslands .

To enter an alpine meadow in our country, one has to often spend at least a day or two trekking within the tree line. We are talking about two or three days of hard ascent. This is because most alpine meadows start at around 11,000 ft above the treeline.

However, on this trek, you are in the meadows within the first 10 minutes of this trek! Imagine having meadows such as these right in your backyard. No wonder we go gaga over landscapes that are seen in places like Switzerland.

The meadows on the Bhrigu Lake trek stretch far and wide – almost like an endless carpet. Wild horses gallop around you. The grazing sheep look up when you come out of the treeline, almost as if to greet you.

From these grassy knolls, you will see the mountains of Pir Panjal  and  Dhauladhar  dominating the skyline.

This is your garden in the sky. In July, you'll see the meadows covered with a blanket of snow, from August to September , they will be at their lushest green. You’ll spot wildflowers everywhere.

The meadows change texture, shape, and colour but stay with you all along the trek – right until Bhrigu Lake. This is what makes the trek special. Getting a chance to be in such alpine meadows all along a trek is a rare opportunity.

This  four-day trek  gives you a good idea of what Himalayan treks offer –  meadows, glacial lakes and mountain views . Even though it is a short trek, it climbs to the daunting altitude of 14,000 ft so you experience the thrill of a climb as well.

With its easy access from Manali, it is a great trek to do for  beginners or families  looking to explore the wilderness.

Expert Speak

Arjun Majumdar, Founder, CEO

Here is Arjun Majumdar, Founder and CEO of Indiahikes talking about the Bhrigu Lake trek. Arjun is an entrepreneur by profession and a trekker by passion, Arjun started Indiahikes in 2008 with a vision to explore and document new trails, solve problems in the mountains and implement sustainable ways of trekking.

What I Like and Don't Like About the Bhrigu Lake Trek

What I Like About the Bhirgu Lake Trek

1 . The rolling, textured grasslands of Bhrigu Lake

Here, the grasslands stretched in lovely undulating green dunes as far as the eye could see; perhaps even beyond. It was special.

I hadn’t seen something like this: the meadows changed texture and colour with every altitude gained. What started as a short, bright, but coarse carpet turned a rich, succulent green as we climbed.

At one point we stopped for a short snack break. I took off my shoes and felt the velvet touch of the immaculate lushness under my feet. The moist softness and the deeply aromatic smell still stay with me.

2 . The commanding views from Rola Kholi

I loved walking through the cauldron that is called Rola Kholi. We did not stop there and pitched our tent on a ledge jutting out from the walls of the cauldron. I could not have asked for a more commanding view of the mountains of the Pir Panjal range.

Early in the morning, I walked up the gently sloping banks around Rola Kholi. The sun lit up the grassland in bright yellowish streaks and cotton wool clouds hung in the air below me.

In front of Mt Hanuman Tibba, Ladaki Peak, and Friendship Peak, the summits of Lahaul stretched out. It was just us and the abundance of a teeming, flourishing grassland. I had underrated the trek.

3 . Reflection of mountains in Bhrigu Lake from a high point

When I climbed a bit higher over the banks of the Bhrigu lake, I saw the mountain ranges reflected on the waters of the lake. Clouds hung below us and we were almost looking at the lake as it hung out of the air. We were at 14,000 feet. I couldn’t believe we were that high!

4 . Stunning green valley on the other side

We were early to the lake, so we went beyond, towards Pandurupa. It is not too far, perhaps half an hour on the other side. 

I had fallen in love with the trek, but I should have waited. 

The other side was equally stunning. A wide green valley stretched below us. Green grassy mountainsides rise out of the valley and a line of forest way down below. I wish we could trek this side too. But I knew the trail was long and winding. We couldn’t camp in between. Reluctantly, we made our way back to the lake.  

I had not expected much out of the Bhrigu lake trek. I didn’t think a trek right out of Manali could be so grand. I wish I was not so full of my image set. Bhrigu Lake is one of the best grassland treks that I have done in my life.

What I Don't Like About the Bhirgu Lake Trek

1 . Bhrigu Lake is less appealing

The lake didn’t appeal to me much. It was a bit of a downer after the exhilaration of the climb and the stunning scenery around.

I expected the lake to be larger, with a grassy bank around it. There wasn’t. It had a muddy bank. A few local folks were even taking a dip in its water. That killed the setting. Perhaps my overfed imagination expected too much.

Trek Trivia

Things Nobody Tells You About Bhrigu Lake

The Story of Bhrigu Lake

Maharishi Bhrigu, who was one of the famous Saptarishis, sat and meditated beside the Bhrigu Lake.

The setting of the lake, resting between two high-altitude ridges, does seem perfect for silence and inward reflection. Moreover, from here you can see the grand Himalayan ranges too. Right in front of you, there are Pir Pinjal and Dhauladhar ranges . Also, major peaks such as  Indrasen, Deo Tibba, and Hanuman Tibba stand majestically before you.

It is believed that the sacred meditations of Maharishi Bhrigu have purified the lake and the space around it. This is a holy lake for the locals, and to protect its sanctity, camping close to the lake is prohibited.

5 Reasons Why Indiahikes

When we brought out new trails in Indian trekking, safety came with us. Back in 2012, we were the first to introduce microspikes, and two years later, pulse oximeters became standard thanks to us. Nobody does safe treks like Indiahikes. In the mountains, emergencies don't care who you're with – everyone knows that when trouble hits, you look for the yellow tents of Indiahikes.

We are pioneers in trekking. Since 2007, we have brought out treks that have become India's most famous treks: Roopkund, Rupin Pass, Buran Ghati, Kedarkantha, Kashmir Great Lakes, Tarsar Marsar, Brahmatal, Phulara Ridge—the list goes on. In 2023 alone, we brought out five new treks in Indian trekking. We know treks better than anyone . This comes directly from the reason why Indiahikes was born: to bring out trek information and enable trekkers to trek on their own.

More than 25,000 people trek with us every year. We are the largest trekking organisation in India. 24% of our trekkers come back to trek with us every year. Over 4,000 students from the top educational institutions trek with us every year. Aside from this, families with children choose to trek with Indiahikes knowing that our treks are the safest. We have taken over 8000 children trekking so far, and the number continues to grow.

We focus on designing transformative experiences. Our trek leaders conduct thought-provoking exercises that help you reflect and contemplate. This impact stays with you for a long time. Trekkers return feeling energised, more confident, or developing abilities to deal with difficulties. Many have changed careers, rethought their core values, become more humble, shown gratitude to others, or started a new fitness journey.

Since 2012, we have pioneered sustainable practices that have become standard in trekking. Using eco-bags, our trekkers have cleared over 120 tonnes of litter from the mountains. We do not carry packaged foods; instead, we serve freshly made food. We do not light campfires; we carry coal to light angethis to keep you warm. Our bio-toilets not only keep our toilets odour-free but also enrich the soil. When you trek with us, you leave mountains better.

 “Himalayan Hikers” and their offerings for the Bhrigu Lake trek. However, when choosing a trekking organization for any trek, including the Bhrigu Lake trek, it is important to consider several factors to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Here are some general aspects to consider when selecting a trekking organization:

• Experience and Expertise: Look for a trekking organization that has a good reputation and ample experience in organizing treks in the Himalayan region. Consider their track record, customer reviews, and testimonials.
• Safety Measures: Safety should be a top priority. Check if the organization follows safety protocols, provides experienced guides, and has a good record of handling emergencies. Inquire about the availability of medical assistance and equipment during the trek.
• Trekking Itinerary and Services: Evaluate the trekking itinerary provided by the organization. Consider factors such as the duration of the trek, acclimatization days, camping arrangements, and meals provided during the trek. Ensure that the services offered align with your preferences and requirements.
• Guides and Support Staff: Knowledgeable and experienced trek guides play a crucial role in enhancing your trekking experience. Inquire about the qualifications and expertise of the guides and the support staff accompanying the trek.
• Group Size: Consider the group size that the organization maintains during treks. Smaller group sizes often offer a more personalized experience and allow for better interaction with the trekking staff.
• Cost and Inclusions: Compare the cost of the trek with the services provided by the organization. Check for inclusions such as transportation, permits, meals, accommodation, and equipment. Ensure that there are no hidden costs and that the pricing is transparent.
• Responsible Tourism: Look for an organization that promotes responsible and sustainable tourism practices. Consider their approach towards environmental conservation, waste management, and support to local communities.

Preparing your fitness level for the Bhrigu Lake trek is essential to ensure an enjoyable and comfortable experience. Here are some tips to help you get fit for the trek:

• Strength Training: Focus on building strength in your lower body, particularly your legs and core muscles. Exercises like squats, lunges, step-ups, and planks will help strengthen your muscles and improve stability during the trek.
• Trek-Specific Training: Mimic the movements and conditions you may encounter during the trek. Incorporate uphill and downhill walks or hikes into your training regimen to simulate the terrain of the trek. Use a backpack with some weight to get accustomed to carrying a load on your back.
• Endurance Training: Gradually increase the duration and intensity of your workouts to build endurance. Start with shorter sessions and gradually extend the duration to simulate the hours of trekking you’ll experience each day.
• Stair Climbing: Climbing stairs is an excellent exercise to prepare for the uphill sections of the trek. Include stair-climbing sessions in your training routine to strengthen your leg muscles and improve your cardiovascular fitness.
• Flexibility and Stretching: Perform regular stretching exercises to improve flexibility and prevent muscle soreness. Focus on stretching your leg muscles, back, and shoulders, as these areas are often involved in trekking.
• Hydration and Nutrition: Stay hydrated throughout your training period and during the trek itself. Drink plenty of water and include a balanced diet rich in carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats to provide the necessary energy for your workouts and trek.

Bhrigu Lake is a high-altitude glacial lake located in the upper Kullu Valley on the eastern side of the popular Rohtang Pass in Himachal Pradesh. An ideal trekking opportunity for both beginners and seasoned trekkers as well as families, the Bhrigu Lake trek is full of nature’s wonders. Perched atop an altitude of 14,000 ft, this trek offers stunning views of the alpine meadows and grasslands and you will catch glimpses of the seven sister peaks. The panoramic view of the snow-capped mountains and their reflections on the lake offers ample opportunities for the shutterbugs to capture nature in its full glory. The trek history is steeped in mythology. It is believed that the famous saint Maharishi Bhrigu used to meditate near the lake. The Lake is not the only major attraction in the trek but the beautiful grasslands that cover the valley are a treat of their own. Walk through tree covers and a moderately steep climb to enter into the grasslands and soon you will be left smitten at all the beauty that lies all around you.

The Bhrigu Lake Trek takes place in stunning alpine meadows that stretch far and wide, as far as your eyes can cover, and appear to be an endless blanket of green over the mountain slopes. If you are lucky, you will spot horses galloping around the meadows or grazing on the pastures. You will also catch sightings of the mighty Pir Panjal and the Dhauladhar Range dominating the skyline around you. To observe the meadows in their greenest, it is ideal that you visit Bhrigu Lake in the months between July to September and you will also be able to spot quite a lot of wildflowers. The meadows may change color from time to time but they will stay with you right up until the Bhrigu Lake. Easily accessible from Manali, this is an ideal weekend trek for solo as well as group travellers and families.

About The Trek

Bhrigu Lake lies 22 km from Manali and can be accessed easily from Gulaba. While most high-altitude glacial lakes are difficult to reach and may take a few days of trekking, crossing difficult terrains before you even catch sight of the lake. But in the case of Bhrigu Lake , there are no such complications, and trekking through beautiful alpine meadows, you will soon arrive at the lake. It is because of its easy grade, Bhrigu Lake attracts a lot of trekkers both beginners and experienced, and anyone with a basic level of fitness can easily do the trek. 

On your second day of the trek, you will reach the enchanting glacial lake and you can sit there, basking in the serenity of the environment, embraced in nature. Since the lake is situated at a soaring altitude, clouds will be floating around you, a perfect setting to refresh and rejuvenate. While the lake remains frozen most of the year, during summer you will be able to experience the lake in its blue-green hue.

From the lake, you will also get a birds-eye view of the Manali, Gulaba, and Solang valleys. Once you enter the meadows, you will be able to spot the Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar Range and from the Panduropa side, you can spot the Hampta Valley peaks like Indrasan and Deo Tibba . On the other side, lies the Hanuman Tibba Peak, Friendship , Shetidar, Gyapancho, Chandrabhaga Peak, and more!

What To Expect During The Trek

To start the Bhrigu Lake Trek , you will reach Manali, from where you will drive to Gulaba, on the Manali-Rohtang Pass road, and trek to the Gulaba meadows. The ascent is a little steep, however, the trail is not very long and takes about one and a half hours to complete. At night, we will camp in tents in the meadows. The following day we will trek from Gulaba to Rola Kholi passing through lush forests of Silver Oak, Birch, and Deodar, catching glimpses of Manali and Solang Valley on our way and mountain peaks like Seven Sister Peaks and the Hanuman Tibba Peak. Following a mixed rocky and snowy trail, we will trek to an altitude of 14,000 ft to reach Bhrigu Lake . Grasp the panoramic views of the Lake surrounded by snow-clad peaks like Deo Tibba , Hanuman Tibba, and Indrasen, share comfortable tents and scrumptious meals with your group and at night you can sit around a warm bonfire and enjoy fun conversations. What’s a better weekend than trekking up to a beautiful lake surrounded by nature’s galore and teeming with mythology?

Please note Transportation from Manali to Gulaba and return is not included. En route, we will pass three mountain hamlets, Kolang, Palchan, and Kothi and the route becomes more and more picturesque as we drive ahead. The Gulaba village is nestled amidst snow-capped mountains, with the Beas River flowing by, adding more opulence to its beauty. After a hearty lunch at the village, we will begin our trek to Gulaba Meadows, our camping spot for the night. It’s a short trek of about 1.5 hrs and a fairly easy trek through grasslands and forest lines.  The natural landscape of this village attracts a lot of tourists every year and  Gulaba is also popular as an adventure sports destination with opportunities for large numbers of activities like skiing, paragliding, trekking, and snow scooter riding. The views from Gulaba are nothing short of magical and utterly peaceful. From our camps in the meadow, you can witness a beautiful sunset and stargaze under the scintillating sky at night, experiencing the serenity and tranquillity of the mountains.

Gulaba to Rola Kholi

• Altitude: Rola Kholi 3,800m/12,500ft
• Altitude Gain: 400m/ 1350ft
• Trek Distance:  6 km (4 hr approx.)
• Steep ascent for first 1.5 hr of the trek followed by a gradual descent to the campsite, via Kolang Nallah
• The trail passes through virgin forests of Silver Oak, Cedar, and Birch trees
• Get views of Manali and Solang Valley
• Peaks spotted: Mt. Hanuman Tibba and Seven Sister peaks
• Hot lunch at campsite
• Carry enough water from Gulaba Camp
• Stay in tents.

Today we will trek from Gulaba to Rola Kholi, our next campsite, situated at an altitude of 12,500 ft. The trek distance is approximately 6 km and it takes about 3 to 4 hrs to complete the trek. The climb is going to be a little steep, so we recommend carrying enough water and light snacks so that you can energize yourself while trekking through the trail. The trek makes its way up the mountains through covers of conifers. You will walk under the shade of Pine, Oak, Birches, and Cedar for the first few miles of the trek, some prominent trees of the Himalayan region, before you catch the sight of beautiful blue mountains through the forest and a rolling meadow in front of you as the forest slowly ebbs away.

As the forest ends, and the meadows begin, you will witness a vast expanse of lush green grasslands. This is the part where the shepherds dwell with their cattle. You may spot flocks of sheep or horses galloping about or grazing in the grasslands during the summer months. Mud huts line the meadows.

As we start heading south the mighty Mt. Hanuman Tibba appears towering over the meadow with the Seven Sisters peak right below it seated in the Beas Kund Valley below.  This trek also offers a spectacular cloud experience. The clouds here are pretty dramatic as well. They keep popping up as you walk through the meadows and once you reach Rola Kholi you can observe these clouds down below.

As we move further south, we will enter into another forest cover. The trail follows a rugged terrain of meadows once again. This is the most challenging part of today’s trek as the path becomes steeper and narrower right before entering Rola Kholi. Soon, you will enter Rola Kholi, your camping spot for the night. Rola Kholi is another grazing ground at the base of the Bhrigu Lake, so you may spot cattle here as well. Chor Nallah flows by our campsite, your running source of water. Camping here is an amazing experience as at night the sky breaks into a galaxy of zillion stars. 

Rola Kholi to Bhrigu Lake back to Rola Kholi

• Altitude: Bhrigu Lake at 4,250m/14,000 ft
• Trek Distance: 10 km (8 hrs approx.)
• Start early in the morning
• Trek along with the bhrigu Lake stream
• Steep ascent for about 5 km till Bhrigu Lake
• Peaks spotted: Indrasen, Deo Tibba, and Hanuman Tibba
• Mixed terrain, rocky and snowy
• Packed lunch provided on way and hot snacks at campsite

Today, we will trek to Bhrigu Lake and you will experience a great change in the landscape from the last two days. Starting early in the morning, we will have to cover a distance of 10 km in about 7 to 8 hours.  The trek is moderate and starts with a stony trail followed by a steep initial ascent followed by a slight descent, walk on levelled ground for a couple of minutes, and makes a final steep ascent to the lake. 

While we have left the green meadows behind, the scenery unfolding in front of you is no less captivating and you begin to experience the cool mountain climate as you continue to trek up towards the Lake. Till June, the trail is usually covered with snow and in July, the snow in the lower reaches begins to melt, turning the trail to brown and green.  During the early monsoon months of Mid-July to Mid-August, the valley turns lush green due to the rains. The Lake is located between two ridges and becomes visible as we cross the last leg of our trek through large boulders. We recommend going slowly in this part and following the trek leaders instructions as the boulders are slippery and accidents happen all the time. Also, the Lake is usually covered in fog so it can be a little tricky to find the route so follow the advice of our team. On a clear day, you can spot the Pir Panjal and the Dhauladhar range from the lake and also spot major peaks like Deo Tibba, Indrasen, and Hanuman Tibba standing tall in front of you.  From the ridge surrounding the lake, you can also get a bird’s eye view of Solang Valley.

An interesting fact about the Bhrigu Lake is that it never completely freezes whether it is summer or winter and the locals attribute this phenomenon to Sage Bhrigu of the ancient times, after whom the lake is named. After spending some time at the Lake, enjoying its scenic beauty, we will retrace our steps back to Rola Kholi and spend another night at the campsite under the stars.

Rola Kholi to Gulaba trek & drive to Manali

• OTrek Distance: 7 km ( 3 hr approx.)
• Drive to Manali, 22 km, approx one and half hours
• Mostly descending trek and easy grade
• Carry 2-litre water from Rola Kholi
• Reach Manali by 2pm to 3pm

Today’s trek is an easy one, as we make our way back from Rola Kholi campsite to Gulaba, retracing the same meadows and forests that we came up from. The descent is steep but not very difficult as you are always on the meadows. The down trek is expected to take 2 to 3 hours as you descend to the Gulaba village once again. It is one of the best grassland treks taking you up close to the alpine meadows and will leave you speechless with its beauty.

Note: There is another return route to Manali via Vashist village and Pandu Ropa from Bhrigu lake, but we find this path more sustainable and relaxing and offers a more soothing scenery. Gulaba situated at an altitude of 10,370 ft is a much better exit and less tiring for your legs as compared to Vaishist at an elevation of 7,000 ft.

How To Reach

It is essential for everyone to arrive at Manali (11:00 am).

Options 

1.  Take overnight bus to Manali from Delhi or Chandigarh, taking a bus from Chandigarh is the most ideal option.

-Chandigarh to Manali Bus: 10 hours.

-Delhi to Manali Bus: 14 hours is hectic and takes more time.

We always recommend going for the govt. Buses over the private ones outside the bus station as based on the experience we have found that there are very high chances of delay involved with private buses. Also, govt. Buses are always more reliable. Whichever bus you choose, just make sure to reach Manali at 10 am.

3. You can take a flight to Bhuntar Airport (but we would not recommend it because of the high prices of the flight and very high chances of cancellations), Manali is just a couple of hours away and you can easily get a bus or a private taxi till there. If you do plan to come via Bhuntar, make sure to reach at least a day before the trek starts.

4. You can even come via train, Pathankot railway station is from where you can get direct buses to Kullu/Kasol that is 300 km from there and would take an overnight journey. Even in this case, reach a day before at Manali.

If you prefer to travel independently, you can either take a government bus or book a private cab. Your trek coordinator will provide guidance on how to arrange for the bus or cab booking.

How to choose the right trek?

Choosing the right trek for a beginner can be a bit overwhelming as there are many factors to consider such as distance, elevation gain, terrain difficulty, weather, and time of year. Here are some tips that can help you choose the right trek for a beginner:

1. Determine fitness level:  Assess the fitness level of the beginner to understand their physical capabilities. This will help you select a trek that is challenging but not too difficult.

2. Choose a well-traveled trail:  A well-traveled trail will have more amenities such as signposts, water stations, and shelter. It is also safer as there will be other hikers on the trail.

3. Consider the length of the trek:  For beginners, it is recommended to start with a shorter trek that can be completed in a day or two. This will help them get acclimatized to trekking and build their confidence.

4. Look for gradual elevation gain:  Choose a trek with a gradual elevation gain rather than steep ascents. This will make the trek easier and more enjoyable.

5. Check the weather:  Check the weather forecast before selecting a trek. Avoid treks during the monsoon season or winter when the trails can be slippery or dangerous.

6. Research the trail:  Read about the trail to get an idea of the terrain, altitude, and difficulty level. This will help you select a trek that is suitable for the beginner.

Bhrigu Lake Trek:

Bhrigu lake group departure starting on 21st May 2023 @ Manali.

Bhrigu lake is an alpine lake lying east of the famous Rohtang pass. While on the trail, you will come to see almost all possible varieties a mid altitude trail has to offer. The lake itself derived its name from the adjacent peak called Bhrigu. The legend is that, Maharishi (Saint) Bhrigu of Saptarishi fame had meditated on bank of this secluded and pristine lake lying at ~4160 m/13645 ft above sea level. The shallow lake remains frozen for more than half of the year. Even in summer (as late as late June) the approach is filled with the fun of walking on snow.

The trail starts 12 Km ahead of Manali from a  place called Kulhan, on  Rohtang road. Initially it goes though pristine forest of cedar, maple, oak and conifers till Moridugh. From here we climb to cross the treeline and continue on lush green alpine meadows. Meadows change colours from spring to summer and autumn. You will get rolling meadow stretch on both side of the Bhrigu lake. You can’t miss the “Bird’s-eye” views of the surrounding valleys like Manali, Solang and Gulaba area.

Once we reach the meadows, views of the snow clad peaks and ranges of Dhauladhar and Pir Panjal are captivating. From Panduropa side you can isolate the peaks of Hampta valley like Deo Tibba, Indrasan. On the other side Hanuman Tibba, Ladakhi, Shetidhar, Friendship, Gyapancho, Makar Bay, Shakhar Bay and Chandrabhaga (CB) range, all you can see in one stretch surrounding the Rohtang area.

Campsites of this round Bhrigu trek are wonderful to spend the day after the walk. Resting in these for the night provide overwhelming feeling of wonder and admiration.  You will camp inside or fringe of the forest, on meadows and possibly on snow during early summer.

This round trek’s start and end point, the village of Vashisht ( Another Rishi of Saptarishi fame extolled here ) has surprises in many folds. A Neatly carved wooden temple, hot spring, surrounding Jogini waterfalls, village home-stays, availability of world cuisines make it a compelling destination for newbie as well as experienced hikers.

Brief Itinerary:

Our Bhrigu lake trek is round trip starting from Manali/Vashisht and after crossing Bhrigu lake, descend to Kothi/Gulaba road head. There are lovely camping ground  with open views on both side of the lake. We choose suitable for the group as per season. Here is the most frequent one:

Day 1: Reach Manali by morning/noon – Guest house accommodation at Vashisht. In the late afternoon you may visit Jogini falls, 1 and half/2 hours round trip (well defined road, but consider getting a local guide). Meals are on your own for the day. Day 2: Drive to Kulang village –30 min – Trek to Moridugh – 7 Km – 4 to 5 hours Day 3: Trek to Tenta via Panduropa – 6 Km – 4 to 5 hours Day 4: Trek to Bhrigu Lake and decent to camping ground above Gulaba – 12 Km – 7 to 8 hours Day 5: Trek down to Kothi – 8 Km – 4 hours – drive to Manali – 1 hour

Why Bhrigu Lake trek  with HT:

• We understand that this trek is not one to be done in a hurry. This is not a low altitude trek by any means and beginners do take up this summer trek on snow. Our itinerary provides much required acclimatisation at Vashisht (~  2050 m/6725 ft) before starting your trek. Additionally our itinerary includes one more day to acclimatise at Moridugh campsite inside treeline.
• Your trip is travel and medically insured. Also one night of accommodation @ Vashisht, Manali is also included in the TREK FEE.
• Most of the companies take the same trail to reach Bhrigu lake and return via Rauli kholi.

Tour Reviews

Had a fantastic experience with Himalaya Trekkers on their Bhrigu lake trek at the end of May. We were led by great guides, Yograj and Deepak, who went out of their way to support us, and were a small group of 11, as opposed to those of most other trekking companies. The trek was very well organised, food was excellent, camps were clean and people were lovely. Highly recommend.

Brief Description

Brief Itinerary

Detailed itinerary.

Drive from Manali (2050 M) to Gulaba (3,000M)  and trek from Gulaba to Rola Kholi (3,810M)  (Click to View GPS data)

Distance: 23 kms drive + 7 kms trek

Duration: 2 hours + 6 hours

Drive from Manali to Gulaba

Manali, the populous tourist town is the starting point for many treks in Himachal Pradesh like Beas Kund, Bhrigu Lake, and Hampta Pass. Manali main bus terminus is the assembly point where all trekkers are expected to arrive before 9 AM. We will do a quick headcount and start driving towards Gulaba. The drive from Manali to Gulaba is a fascinating journey. The 23 km to Gulaba should take us 2 hours to cover.

As soon as we start from Manali, for the first 20 minutes the roads will take you through the cultural lanes of Himachali tradition. Look out for the old heritage buildings, vibrant attires of the natives, and small flea markets on the corner of the streets. We can pick up some souvenirs at the end of the trip. As we pass through the huge metallic bridges to cross the Beas river, small twinkling stars will pop up and keep us company when the sun rays reflect on the mighty Beas river.

45 minutes into the drive, the Beas River will disappear behind us and we will enter into the famous Rohtang Pass. The road will divert to our right from the Rohtang Pass and enter into the Kullu district. Lush green and golden apple trees will wave their branches to welcome us on both sides of the roads. Once we cover a distance of 15 km, our vehicle will cross through fresh cotton clouds. It will cleanse our mind, body, and soul. During the monsoon season, we can witness the monsoon clouds joining together and making doodles in the sky. Keep your eyes peeled for the valiant hosts of Gulaba – The Vultures. They patrol the sky to keep us in check.

After 21 km, we will cross a government check post. They will take a headcount, check the necessary documents and allow us to go ahead. In 2 more km, we will reach the starting point of the trail – Gulaba.

Gulaba (3,000M) to Rola Kholi (3,810M)

Distance:  7 km

Duration: 6 Hours

The trail for the Bhrigu Lake trek begins from Gulaba. We will cross the road and start walking at around 11 AM. The water source for the day is small mountain streams between every 3 km and the terrain comprises of steep ascents and no descents.

In the beginning, for the first 30 minutes, the trails will be covered with dense oak trees, pine trees, Himalayan Birch, and shrubs. The mystic woods, moist leaves, and the hums of the insects will create a groovy song to keep us entertained. We jump, move and groove with the beat. The pathway will bend and twist like a snake and lead us through some water mist created from the monsoon clouds. (White-outs are a common factor in monsoon treks)

At the end of 2 km, the forest line ends and captivating grasslands take over the landscape. The rolling meadows extend for 5 km till Rola Kholi. Usually, it takes more time and a long distance to reach any Himalayan grassland from the base point of a trek. But on the Bhrigu Lake trek, it just takes 2 km and 30 minutes.

3 kms into the journey, the first water stream appears. We can fill our bottles and settle for lunch there. To make our journey more colourful, the terrain from the lunch point is completely covered with wildflowers. If we get lucky we can find some dry Dandelion flowers. Make a wish and blow it.

The sparkling colours of the flowers on the grassland fluctuate with different shades for the next 2 km. If we stop here and look back, we get a glimpse of the stunning Solang Valley and Beas Kund Valley. Once we cover a distance of 6 km in 5 hours, the pathway gets steeper and ascends towards the high ground. After finishing 7 km in 6 hours we reach a plain land near a big mountain stream. Thais is our Campsite for the day – Rola Kholi. Rola Kholi is a natural podium to stand and observe the stars and star dust in the night and witness the magnificence of Seven Sister Peaks, Deo Tibba, Solang Valley, Hanuman Tibba, and Beas Kund Valley in the day. The spectacles are bound to stay with us forever.

Rola Kholi (3,810M) to Bhrigu Lake (4267 M)  (Click to View GPS data)

Distance: 5 kms

Duration: 4 hours

Today, the terrain and the trails continue with challenging ascents and are covered in scree, boulders, and broken rocks. There are few water sources, so carry enough bottles to support yourself.

We leave our camp around 9 AM and carry packed lunch with us. We cross the stream next to the campsite and start ascending. Just 10 minutes after the first ascent, the land opens up to a huge boulder and a wider skyline. From this spot, we can get a clean and panoramic view of the Seven Sister peaks, Deo Tibba, Solang Valley, Hanuman Tibba, and Beas Kund Valley. The grasslands from the boulder point come under the shepherd’s domain. For the next 2 kilometres, we can see many horses and cows grazing over the fresh grass covered in dewdrops.

The green tinge of the grassland dilutes and disappears at the end of 2 km. A mix of wild grey and light brown colours take over the landscape. The nature of the trail completely changes here. Be prepared to cross over boulders, narrow ascents filled with scree and rocky pathways. It is best to be with the group and follow the instructions of your trek leader while trekking through these trails. Because of frequent whiteouts, people tend to lose their way and get stuck in-between the rocks.

After covering a distance of 4 km, the trails incline towards a 30-degree ascent for another 1 km. Look down for the small flowers that sneak out and flash their bling through the cracks of the boulders. It’s a masterpiece in the mountains. Finally, at the end of 1 km, we reach a high ground with a fabulous view of Bhrigu Lake. Bhrigu Lake is a beautiful marvel which changes its colour according to season. During monsoon and summer, it changes from olive green to emerald green. During the winters it completely gets frozen and turns into pearl white colour. We stop for lunch near the lake, spend some quality time there and start heading back towards the campsite in Rola Kholi.

Rola Kholi (3,810M)  to Gulaba (3,000M)  (Click to View GPS data)

Distance: 7 kms

After dismantling the campsite and packing everything, we leave Rola Kholi at around 8 AM and reach Gulaba by 12 PM. The trail for today is less demanding with easy descents. A dedicated vehicle will pick us up from Gulaba and drop us back at Manali bus terminus around 2 PM. If you are traveling by flight, it is advisable to stay for the night, rest, and leave the next day. Manali roadways are prone to heavy traffic because of tourist attractions.

Small Group Size

Our batch sizes are capped at 15 for smaller treks with the trek leader and trekker ratio of 1:8. This ratio, in our years of experience, has proven to deliver the best trekking experience for individuals as well as groups. Capping the size of the group ensures individual attention to each trekker so that no signs of distress or need during the trek go unnoticed. It also helps to form a more cohesive cohort with better group energy which helps define the rhythm and pace of days on the trek. As you go higher up on the BRS scale, since the stakes are higher, expeditions have an even smaller group size with the ratio of expedition leader to climber set at 1:2.

Qualified Trek Leaders

We follow a rigorous regime of hiring and training our experts in the field. Each trek leader is a certified mountaineer with years of experience in the field. In addition to their qualification, they also go through practical and situational training to tackle any and all kinds of sudden conditions that may present themselves on the ground. Being unpredictable is the core nature of the mountains but being ready for any circumstance as best as possible is a controllable asset that we try to nurture. Our field experts are also trained in basic medicine and first-aid response. Watch: Forerunners - The Making of A Trek Leader At Bikat Adventures

How to reach Bhrigu Lake

In order to get to Bhrigu Lake, you will first have to reach Manali. This is really the easiest part of the journey. Manali is among the most visited hill stations of our country and remains connected by a motorable road for all 12 months.

If you were coming by your own car or motorcycle, starting from Delhi, the route will be as mentioned below.

Delhi – Panipat – Ambala – Rajpura – Roopar/Roopnagar – Kiratpur Sahib – Swarghat – Bilaspur – Sundar Nagar – Mandi – Kullu – Manali

From Delhi, it will take you about 14 hours to complete the journey. From Chandigarh, the travel time will be between 8 to 10 hours.

There are regular buses available for Manali from every major city nearby. You can either board a state-run bus like HRTC or HPTDC or book with a private tour company.

If you were coming from Delhi, you can easily find a Bus from ISBT Delhi. Private travel companies have their own pick-up points, something that you will need to check with them. Just do a Google search and you will get a long list of buses for Manali that you can book online as well.

The nearest airport to Bhrigu Lake is at Bhuntar, about 50 kilometers away from Manali. You can get a taxi to Manali from the airport itself. Catching a flight to this airport however is not recommended because it is not that well connected and flights often get canceled due to bad weather.

A better way hence will be to book a flight to Chandigarh airport and then book a taxi for Manali from there.

The nearest railway station, as well, is in Chandigarh . It is a major railhead and you will have no trouble finding a train that can drop you at Chandigarh.

Bhrigu Lake Trek Itinerary

After you have arrived in Manali, the only way to reach Bhrigu Lake is on foot. The itinerary for the trek will be as mentioned below.

• Day 1: Drive from Manali to Gulaba. Trek to Rola Kholi.
• Day 2: Rola Kholi to Bhrigu Lake and Return.
• Day 3: Trek from Rola Kholi to Gulaba. Drive back to Manali.

A more relaxed version of this plan can be as mentioned below.

• Day 1: Drive from Manali to Gulaba. Trek to Jonker Thach.
• Day 2: Trek to Rola Kholi. Camp at Rola Kholi for the night.
• Day 3: Rola Kholi to Bhrigu Lake and Return.
• Day 4: Trek from Rola Kholi to Gulaba. Drive back to Manali.

The majority of the trekkers will attempt and complete the trek in 3 days because it is easily doable. But if you had an additional day in hand and wanted to spend more time in the lush green meadows, you can opt for the 4-day plan as well.

Any time that you spend in reaching to Manali and then getting back will be in addition to these days. For example, if you were coming from Delhi, the trek will become a 5 days affair.

A more detailed version of the itinerary is as mentioned below.

Manali to Gulaba to Rola Kholi – Day 1

If you were traveling by your own vehicle, I would assume that you arrived in Manali a day before and are now ready to move on to the Rola Kholi campsite. If you were traveling by Bus, a good way to plan would be to board the overnight bus for Manali. This way, you will reach Manali early in the morning and can be on your way to Rola Kholi right from the bus stand.

Either way, your first destination will be the small village of Gulaba, about 22 kilometers from Manali. If you booked your trek with a tour company, they will arrange the transport; and will pick you from either the hotel or the bus stand. If you were traveling on your own, there is an hourly bus from Manali to Gulaba that you can board. If not a bus, you can also opt for a shared taxi.

Gulaba to Jonker Thach / Rola Kholi

The trek begins near the Gulaba check post. You will walk through a dense forest and will arrive at Jonker Thach in about an hour and a half. The word ‘Thach’ means ‘a meadow’. So the name of the place actually is Jonker Meadow. It is a good camping ground and you can stay here for the night if you were planning the trek in 4 days.

My advice however would be that you continue to Rola Kholi, another grassland about 5 kilometers ahead of Jonker Thach. The hike is not that difficult except for a steep ascent just after Jonker Thach. The rest of the walk is through a scenic grazing ground used by the local shepherd. You will get a clear and beautiful view of the Hanuman Tibba and Seven Sisters peak throughout the trail.

From the Gulaba check post, it will take you about 4-5 hours to reach Rola Kholi, walking a distance of 7 kilometers. You will camp here for the night near a water stream called Chor Nallah. The gain in altitude will be from 2,050 meters (6,726 ft) to 3,830 meters (12,560 ft) at Rola Kholi.

You will cross a few water streams on the way where you can refill your water bottle. At the campsite, Chor Nallah will be your source of water.

Rola Kholi to Bhrigu Lake to Rola Kholi – Day 2

You must start early on this day as you have a lot of ground to cover and an uphill walk to handle. Except for a short level walk in between, most of the hike to the lake is a steep uphill climb. Depending on your fitness level and speed, it can take you anywhere between 4-5 hours to reach the lake from the campsite.

The gain in altitude will be from 3,830 meters (12,560 ft) at Rola Kholi to 4,270 meters (14,010 ft) at the lake. On the way, you will get a mesmerizing view of prominent peaks like Indrasen, Deo Tibba, and Hanuman Tibba. Arrive at the lake, spend some time and start on your way back on the same trail.

Your return hike will be all downhill so will take you less time. In total, the trekking distance will be 10 kilometers in both ways and can take 7-8 hours.

Rola Kholi to Gulaba to Manali – Day 3

The return journey to Manali is a fairly easy one. The walk will be all downhill to Gulaba from where you will drive back to Manali. You can stay for the night in Manali. A couple of other quiet and beautiful places are Kothi Village and Solang Valley where you can go on Day 3.

If you were short on time, you can in fact be on your way back home. I traveled back from Rola Kholi to the Manali bus stand and found an evening bus for Delhi. I slept in the Bus on my way back home and was in Delhi by 8 AM the next day.

Best Time for Bhrigu Lake Trek

Bhrigu Lake remains open for only 4-5 months a year. Owing to its high altitude, the lake, and the trek remains buried under snow well until April and cannot be attempted. The route opens sometime in May and even then, you will find a lot of snow on the trail. After four months of summer and monsoon, it starts to snow here again in October.

Hence the limited time when you can visit Bhrigu Lake is from June to September. It can be attempted in May and October as well but it will entirely depend on the weather. The trek remains closed from November to April.

Even in this short span of time, the months of June and September are the best time to visit Bhrigu Lake. In July and August, it rains heavily in and around Manali which can definitely raise some safety concerns. So a safer time will be to go either before monsoon or after.

You can hire a personal guide and try to go for a winter trek but then you are just walking through the hills in the snow. There will be no lake to see really expect for white snow all around.

Personally, I will recommend visiting in September. All the rains would have brought the flora of the entire region to life. The grasslands, natural springs, meadows, waterfalls together would present a sight to behold. The mountains would appear as if they have just been washed clean and covered with a carpet of green.

Bhrigu Lake Weather

As you probably would have guessed by now, the weather at Bhrigu Lake remains cold throughout the year. The change is observed only between May to October as the season progresses. For the rest of the time, it is white all around. Let me explain month by month.

Bhrigu Lake in May

The opening and accessibility of the lake in May entirely depend on the weather. If you want to attempt it in May, make sure you check the weather conditions, speak to the local guides, prepare well, and make an informed decision. If you were able to make it to the lake in May, you will find it completely frozen still.

Bhrigu Lake Trek in June

The picture I posted above of the lake was taken towards the end of June. The trek opens up sometime in June and even then, there will be snow all the way till Rola Kholi. The lake will still be partially frozen. The average day temperature will be around 15° C. But in the night, it will still fall down close to 0° C.

Bhrigu Lake in July and August

The snow starts to melt in June and is mostly gone by July. This is when the green of the meadows and the blue of the lake really emerges. But this is also when the monsoon season in the valley arrives. If you must attempt the trek in the monsoon season, do it in the earlier part of the month. The average temperature will range between 5° to 15° C. Expect heavy rains in the entire region, sometimes enough to throw a wrench in your plans.

Bhrigu Lake Trek in Spetember

This in my opinion is the best time to go. The monsoon will be all gone but would, leaving behind plenty of greenery and beautiful vistas. It will however continue to get colder as the month will progress. With every passing week, there will be a significant drop in the average. During the night, it will surely come down to 0° C and even in the day, it will rarely cross 10° C.

Bhrigu Lake in October

Depending on the weather, the trek closes in October as the region starts to receive snow again. Before planning a trip at this time, please call ahead and inquire about the weather conditions.

Bhrigu Lake is considered as a beginner level trek. So the difficulty level is from easy to moderate. As long as you have a decent level of fitness, this can even be your first ever trek. There are some steep climbs involved but most of the trek is a steady and gradual uphill walk.

How to know if you are fit enough to attempt it? If you are able to walk / job 7-8 kilometers in an hour, you are good to go. If you have not been working out for a while and have been sitting idle, it would be wise to practice some long-distance walking before heading out to Manali.

• Electricity – No

• ATM – The last one is in Manali
• Stay – Tented Accommodation

Below are some commonly asked questions about Bhrigu Lake.

Bhrigu Lake Trek – The Best Trek in India

Updated on: April 17, 2024

Travelothon

Editorial Team of travelothon.com

Located in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, Bhrigu Lake is one of the most beautiful high-altitude lakes in India. Situated at an elevation of 4,300 metres (14,100 feet) in the Pir Panjal range of the Great Himalayas, this lake can be reached through a scenic trek that starts from the village of Gulaba. The Bhrigu Lake trek is considered one of the best treks in Himachal Pradesh and even in India, owing to its relatively easy gradient, breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains, and the stunning blue waters of the glacial Bhrigu Lake.  

About Bhrigu Lake

Bhrigu Lake Trek gets its name from the legendary Hindu saint Maharishi Bhrigu. It is believed that the sage meditated at this high-altitude lake for many years. According to local folklore, this lake was the meditating spot of Maharishi Bhrigu during the time when the Pandavas were in exile. Due to its mythical relevance and serene beauty, Bhrigu Lake is regarded as sacred by the locals. During ancient times, pilgrims used to visit this lake to meet sage Bhrigu and seek his blessings. The trek to Bhrigu Lake follows the same ancient route taken by these pilgrims.   

The alluring blue waters of Bhrigu Lake are fed by the snowmelt from the glaciers on the surrounding mountains. Owing to its high altitude, the lake remains frozen from October to June. The best time to visit Bhrigu Lake for the trek is during the summer months between May to October when the ice melts and the azure blue lake is in its full glory.

Bhrigu Lake Trek 

The Bhrigu Lake trek starts from a small hamlet called Gulaba located near Manali at an altitude of 2,250 metres. 

The Bhrigu Lake trek is a spectacular journey that takes you through unspoilt meadows, rocky mountain paths, and finally to a magical high-altitude lake. Starting from the peaceful hill town of Manali, the 14 km long trail gradually ascends to finally culminate at the stunning Bhrigu Lake situated at an altitude of 4,300 metres. 

The highlights of this moderate trek include the quaint hamlet of Vashisht, the sprawling meadow of Rola Kholi, shepherd campsite of Pandu Ropa, before finally beholding the turquoise blue Bhrigu Lake. The sacred lake, revered for its mythical origins, is surrounded by lofty snow-clad mountains that make it seem almost surreal.

Though moderate in difficulty, proper acclimatisation and carrying adequate supplies is essential. The captivating views of the landscape and sense of achievement make the effort worthwhile. For any nature lover, the Bhrigu Lake trek is the perfect way to spend time in the lap of the Himalayas, far removed from the chaos of daily life. A rejuvenating experience that will be etched in your memory for a lifetime!

Some of the major highlights include:

Dramatic Landscapes – The trail winds through dramatic landscapes ranging from green meadows, rocky moraine paths, and finally the icy barren terrain.

Snow Mountains – Spectacular views of the Pir Panjal, Seven Sisters Peaks, Hanuman Tibba, and Deo Tibba mountains draped in snow. 

High-Altitude Lakes – The breathtaking deep blue Bhrigu Lake surrounded by glaciers is the prime highlight along with smaller lakes like Vashisht Tala.

Alpine Flowers – From June to August, vibrant alpine flowers like Blue Poppies, Iris, Daisies, and Buttercups can be seen.

Shepherd Camps – Glimpse of the local shepherd culture by passing meadow camps at Rola Kholi and Pandu Ropa. 

Sacred Appeal – The trek follows the ancient pilgrim route taken by sages and locals to visit the sacred Bhrigu Lake.

Viewpoints – Excellent spots like Pandu Ropa offer panoramic views of the Pir Panjal ranges and distant mountains.

Challenges of the Trek

Though graded moderate, the Bhrigu Lake trek does pose some challenges primarily due to the high altitude. Some key challenges faced by trekkers are:

Altitude – As the lake is situated at 14,000 feet, high-altitude sickness can affect trekkers ascending too rapidly. Gradual ascent is critical.

Steep sections – Certain stretches like the climb to Rola Kholi have steep gradients requiring endurance.

Rocky trails – Loose moraine and boulder sections along the route can be tiring to cross. Proper hiking shoes are a must.

Cold weather – Sudden weather changes with freezing temperatures, rainfall, and snowfall even in summer. Warm layered clothing essential.

Limited amenities – Basic campsites with limited food options. Adequate supplies must be carried.

Overcoming these challenges is part of the enriching experience of completing the rewarding trek to Bhrigu Lake.

Best Time for Bhrigu Lake Trek

Owing to its high altitude, the best time to undertake the Bhrigu Lake trek is during the summer months between May to October. 

This is when the lake thaws and the access routes are open. The blooming wildflowers also enhance the beauty during summer.

May-June – The pre-monsoon months have long sunny days ideal for the trek, though some snow may remain around the lake.

July-August – Monsoon season with refreshing greenery, wildflowers in bloom, and crystal clear views, though rain can play spoilsport.

September-October – Clear blue skies, pleasant daytime temperatures in the post-monsoon period make it a perfect time. Less crowded than peak season. 

Winters are extremely cold with sub-zero temperatures and the lake remaining frozen. Landslides may block the trek route during this time. The summer blockbuster months of May-June and September-October are the best pick for the Bhrigu Lake trek.

Travel Tips for Bhrigu Lake Trek

To have a safe and fulfilling trekking experience, here are some key travel tips for the Bhrigu Lake trek:

Acclimatize properly with an overnight stay at the base camp Gulaba before starting the trek. 

Carry enough water, food supplies, medications, warm cloths, trekking gear etc. for the 3-day trek.

Walk slowly at a steady pace to adapt to the high altitude. Keep hydrated.

Hire experienced local guides as they can assist with directions, porters, and arrangements.

Follow the instructions of trek leaders and campsite staff. Don’t wander off alone.

Respect the serenity of the sacred lake. Avoid loud music or rash behaviour near the lake.

Do not litter the pristine route. Follow responsible eco-friendly trekking practices. 

Carry plastic bags to bring back your waste and dispose responsibly at base camp.

Keep permits, ID proof, and trek registrations ready to avoid hassles with check posts.

Book the trek and campsites well in advance during peak seasons of May-June.

Following these tips will help you make the most out of your memorable trek to Bhrigu Lake safely and responsibly.

Accommodation and Facilities on the Bhrigu Lake Trek

The Bhrigu Lake trek route has limited accommodation and amenities due to its high-altitude mountainous terrain. However, some basic facilities are available at the campsites and villages along the trail.

At Gulaba, the trek start point, there are several budget guesthouses and campsites to spend the night acclimatising before starting the trek. The amenities are basic with common washrooms, dorm-style rooms, and basic Indian meal options. There are also a few tea shops here.

The first campsite along the trek is Rola Kholi, around 6 km from Gulaba at an altitude of 3,800 metres. This is a large alpine meadow with stunning views of the mountains. There are a few numbered camping huts set up here that can be booked in advance through the forest department. Camping in personal tents is also allowed. There are basic washrooms available. Trekkers have to carry their own food and supplies to this camp.

The next camp is at Pandu Ropa, located 3 km uphill from Rola Kholi at 4,000 metres altitude. This scenic shepherd camping ground has tall grass and offers great vantage points of the surrounding peaks. There is space to pitch tents and temporary washrooms. Water can be sourced from the nearby Pandu Nala stream.

At Bhrigu Lake, camping is not permitted owing to its sacred status. Trekkers can spend around 1-2 hours at the lake site and descend back to Pandu Ropa for overnight stay. There are no food stalls or solid structures near the lake.

The trail passes through rocky terrain and glaciers with no natural sources of water. Trekkers must carry plenty of water and essential supplies with them. It is vital to ensure proper trekking gear like hiking shoes, walking sticks, woollen layers, sun protections etc.

Though the trek is remote, locals from villages like Vashisht and Dhundi along the way are friendly. In case of emergencies or health issues, they gladly assist trekkers in reaching help. The route also has police and forest check posts at intervals where basic medical aid may be available if required.

The Bhrigu Lake Trek provides the quintessential Himalayan trekking experience through unspoilt nature to an azure high-altitude lake. The rewarding views of snow-clad mountains amidst vibrant alpine meadows, combined with the sacred mystique of the lake, makes this the best trek in Himachal Pradesh and one of the top treks in India. With proper preparation and planning, the Bhrigu Lake trek is sure to leave you spellbound!

Day 1: From Manali Drive to Gulaba and Trek to Rola Kholi Camp

• Journey commences from Manali, on the Rohtang Pass Road toward the little hill nook hamlet of Gulaba. Three hill towns—Kolang, Palchan, and Kothi marks the way, and it gets more and more beautiful with pine forests as we go. Snow covered elevations surround the little locale picturesquely. Sweet grasslands washed over by the watercourse of Beas would make fantastic frames at Gulaba , only if the Rohtang transit crowd wasn’t there.
• We start for an altitude of 12,500 ft. spanning 6 km in 3-4 hours. It’s going to be steep, steep walk, so you need to go equipped with 2 liters water and little snack bites to unwind between the testing laps.
• For the first few miles we are still trailing under a forest cover and bathing in the shade of rustling conifers. You can easily spot oaks, cedar, and birches. It’s a beautiful sight to catch a glimpse of blue through these leaves.
• Walk on 20 minutes into the trek, and the forest has now ebbed behind, unfolding only rolling green meadows before. This is the shepherds’ zone where cattle grazers are brought from the local villages all through summer. You could find a few mud huts and camp poles lying here. Keep the meadow behind and start heading south. You will find the peak of Hanuman Tibba rising in sharp focus at this point and a little below, the Seven sisters Peaks. Lying somewhere far below is the green patch of Beas Kund valley.
• Next comes another slight jungle cover, passing which the trail falls on to the rugged meadows again. The thrill climaxes when the path gets narrower and steeper just before entering the grasslands of Rola Kholi. At about 15 to 20 minutes far from reaching the campsite, we pass two nallahs or small streams which are also our water sources. Our camp is set near chor nallah at the Rola Kholi campsite.
• This night is the night of wonder under a sky breaking into a zillion stars!

Day 2: Rola Kholi to Bhrigu Lake back to Rola Kholi

• Today’s is an out and out landscape change from all of what we have experienced in the days before! Starting off way early in the morn we traverse a distance of 10 kilometers in approx 7-8 hours on a steep and massively stony path. The verdant meadows of the last two days feel like a dream but this landscape is no less captivating, and gets all the more refreshing in the cool mountain climate.
• Till June, you can expect this course post Rola Khuli to be covered in snow. From mid-July on, the gradients of brown, green, and white gets prominent as the snow melts off. On the last leg of the trail, it’s highly advisable to go slow and not hurry at all as the path is ridden with scree and slippery boulders.
• The alpine lake becomes visible between the two ridges that we reach at the end of the last boulder-bound lap. Be it high winters or the beginning of summer, the lake is never entirely frozen. This is an incidence attributed to the power of Sage Bhrigu of the ancient myths to whom this lake is named.
• From the high belt surrounding the lake, you can catch a istant glimpse of the Solang Valley nestling far away and on a clear day, the sky lights up with the splendid peaks of Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar range.

Day 3: Rola Kholi to Gulaba drive to Manali

• Today we trek back the same treaded path through the delicious green meadows in one long sweep to Gulaba which will take approx 2 to 3 hours, and back from there to Manali by car, we will reach Manali in between 2 to 3 pm.
• Note: There is an alternate return route to Manali via Vashisht and Pandu Ropa from the Bhrigu Lake site, but we find this path more relaxing and sustainable for a soothing green trek.

• Your body should be fit enough to cover the entire trek with the backpacks on your back along with your body weight. That is why proper stamina and strength are needed. Also because trekking is done in uneven multi terrains and not on smooth paths. So in order to gain leg strength, perform simple squats.
• Flexibility is very important when it comes to trekking. Good flexibility will be an advantage while walking on trails, climbing and river crossing, etc. Attain flexibility by simply stretching or doing yoga.
• As the Himalayan treks are basically ascending and descending the slopes, you will need a proper transmission of Oxygen from the lungs and heart to the body muscles. For this, trekkers should have good cardiovascular endurance that can be gained by doing cardio exercises like running, swimming, cycling, etc.

Severe Allergies : If you have a severe allergy please inform the Trekmunk office before you travel. We will do all we can to help, but we cannot guarantee an allergy-free environment on trekmunk trips. You will need to carry your own treatment for the allergy with you, as 'adrenaline auto-injectors' are not carried as standard by our leaders and staff. You should inform your leader on the arrival of your allergy, and let them know where you keep your adrenaline pen.

Vaccinations : You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you require any specific vaccinations or other preventive measures. You should be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended e.g. diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella, along with hepatitis A and typhoid.

We do not encourage the purchasing of single-use plastic bottles.

10. Altitude : This adventure involves going to a very high altitude. This is not something that you should worry about; the human body is quite capable of adapting to a very wide range of altitudes, but it is important that we follow some simple rules in order to acclimatize successfully. We will send you the information in your mailbox about Acute Mountain Sickness and trekking in high altitudes. On this trip, we carry bottled oxygen for use in emergencies.

11. Guidance on Tipping : Tipping is the accepted way of saying thank you for good service. Normally the guide and any other trek staff are given their tips at the end of the trek and this is best done as a group.

12. Spending/Emergency Money : Approximately Rs. 8000-10000/- (in Indian Currency)should be carried for miscellaneous expenses including porter and trek crew tips, drinks, soft drinks, etc. We recommend that you carry your travel money in the form of cash as the availability of ATM is less in these remote areas.

13. Travel Insurance : It is recommended to have travel insurance for these kinds of adventures. When taking out insurance please ensure the policy you choose covers you for the activities and altitude included in your itinerary. We will ask for the Travel Insurance Details over a mail.

Traveling with these people is surely an insanely enthralling experience. This is my second backpacking trip with these people and the way I had imagined backpacking to be has been fulfilled by them and they have given me surely more. The best thing about travelling with these people is that you understand the true meaning of travelling and experience it very closely. You are given great freedom but at the same time taking care of. You participate in the process of backpacking. You have a trip leader with you but he acts more like a friend as the days pass by! We attended the hornbill festival and did a wonderful trek to Dzukuo valley in Nagaland with the leadership of this group. You break the boundaries of yourself when you travel like a true traveller and that is possible with these people.

I had an amazing trek with Trekmunk to Sandakphu November and December 2019. From the first moment of inquiry about the trek and all my questions were answered clearly and on time thanks to Dheeraj who managed to facilitate the trek quite well with his communication. Our guide Arpan was very experienced, calm, patient and very helpful to each trekker's needs in the group. He facilitated to find and hire a porter for me once I needed one although we were in the middle of the trail. He also arranged emergency transportation when I had to cut the trek and go back home for an urgent matter. I really enjoyed their service and I would like to repeat the same trek or try other treks with them again.

We were a group of 12 friends and booked a trek to Kedartal with Trekmunk, it was an amazing experience..even though it was our first trek to the Himalayas and Kedartal being a difficult terrain trek we were guided excellently by the Trekmunk team. They served us nutritious food, took complete care of our safety and health and gave us the right advice to overcome AMS. Eagerly awaiting our next trek with them.

I had the most wonderful experience trekking through the ranges of Chandrashila with Trekmunk. The small moments of achievement were phenomenal. Chandrashila is the most astonishing peak that I've ever trekked through; I've never been so fascinated. I think I am going to go for another trek with Trekmunk soon enough! The kind of hospitality that is provided to us is worth appreciating. I made many new friends and have enjoyed each and every day of this trek to its fullest.

I had the best time of my life at Sandakhphu Phalut trek arranged by Trekmunk. Literally I felt like I was in heaven and I was soo very happy. I will recommend everyone to opt for Trekmunk. I was a solo woman traveler and was a bit worried, but things went very smoothly and I enjoyed it a lot. I miss my fellow trekkers too. I am very satisfied with their arrangements.

Brighu Lake Itinerary

While many other tours and travels present in the vicinity of Manali begin their trek from Gulaba, we believe in providing our travellers with the complete experience by starting from Kulang.

We start the day from our campsite situated in Old Manali, where we expect our trekkers to reach between 9 am to 10 am. After loading all the luggage we head to Kulang and start hiking for our Moridugh base camp. This first leg of the trek takes approximately 4 to 5 hours where we walk through the old British forest route.

The beauty of this range lies in its century-old maple trees and mighty parallel peaks. After reaching Moridugh, our travellers are greeted with warm food and friendly locals who work with us. Our cordial staff welcomes you with evening snacks and tea. Needless to mention that the sunset view from our campsite is also one of the major highlights of this trek.

We wake up early morning freshen up, our staff is all prepped up to serve breakfast and tea. We aim to leave the campsite at 7 am so we get ample time to enjoy, rest and walk at our own pace to Brighu lake. The trek generally takes 5-6 hours. This day we gain height and witness magic of nature. The landscapes vary from season to season but remain mesmerising during all time of the year.

On the way to Brighu Lake, we get the best views of Dhauladhar Range, Hanuman Tibba (the highest peak in Dhauladhar Range at height of 5928 mt), Manali Peak and friendship peak. Once at Brighu, we allow our trekkers to unwind, relax and have their lunch (we bring back our leftovers and disposables with us) and click a ton of photos for their Instagram.

On this day, we let our travellers be at ease and to wake up at their own pace. By this day we guarantee that you will be sad to leave our campsite and our friendly staff who will win your heart in no time.

But like all good things, this trek to Brighu Lake comes to an end too and we make our way back from the mountains post a good tea and filling breakfast.

We make sure to provide end to end comfortable services to our clients. Therefore, our driver picks you up at Kulang village and drops you off to Manali.

The third day of the trek is the most challenging and rewarding one, as it takes you to the Bhrigu Lake and then to Pandu Ropa, which is the final campsite of the trek. The trek takes about 8-9 hours and covers a distance of 14 km. You will start early in the morning and climb a steep slope that leads to the Bhrigu Lake. The slope is covered with snow and ice, and requires a good level of fitness and stamina.

Bhrigu Lake is a high-altitude glacial lake that lies at an altitude of 4270 m. It is one of the most sacred and mystical lakes in the Himalayas, as it is associated with the sage Bhrigu, who meditated there and blessed the lake with divine powers. The lake is also known for its changing colors, which range from blue to green to red, depending on the season and the weather. The lake is surrounded by snow-capped peaks, such as Indrasan, Deo Tibba, and Hanuman Tibba, and offers a breathtaking view of the landscape.

You will then descend from the lake and follow a different trail that leads to Pandu Ropa, which is the final campsite of the trek.

Pandu Ropa is a large meadow that lies at an altitude of 3700 m. It is named after the Pandavas, who are said to have cultivated rice here during their exile. The meadow is dotted with wildflowers, berries, and mushrooms, and offers a splendid view of the valley and the peaks. You will camp here for the night and enjoy the bonfire and the music.

Day 4: Pandu Ropa to Vashisht to Manali

The fourth and last day of the trek is a descent from Pandu Ropa to Vashisht, which is the end point of the trek. The trek takes about 4-5 hours and covers a distance of 8 km. You will start by crossing a stream and then follow a downhill trail that leads to the village of Vashisht. The trail passes through apple orchards, wheat fields, and pine forests, and offers a glimpse of the rural life and culture of Himachal Pradesh.

Vashisht is a quaint village that lies at an altitude of 2400 m. It is famous for its hot springs and temples, which are dedicated to the sage Vashisht and Lord Rama. The hot springs are believed to have medicinal and healing properties, and are a great way to relax and rejuvenate after the trek. The temples are built in a traditional style and have intricate carvings and paintings.

You will spend some time at Vashisht, exploring its attractions and enjoying its atmosphere. You will then board a vehicle and drive back to Manali, which takes about an hour and covers a distance of 14 km. You will reach Manali by evening and bid farewell to your fellow trekkers and guides.

A few days ago, I went with Elena and Becky on a trip around the Moscow metro, the second most heavily used metro system in the world. I didn’t know much about it before, but it’s an architectural marvel in and of itself, a gorgeous relic from Moscow’s Soviet past and Stalinist architecture in particular. We rode around the central brown line, a circle of 12 stations that Stalin oversaw the creation/renovation of in the 1930s and 40s. All are ornately decorated with different themes (sports, French palatial architecture, Lenin portraits, etc), in a way that was intended to remind the average rider of all the ways their government was giving back to them for their hard work. Apparently, they all have an emphasis on “verticality”, essentially meaning that either the ceilings are very lavish, or the art on the walls is dimensioned to draw the eye upwards, reminding metro-goers of the place of Stalin in their lives. Below are pictures of my favorite stations.

All of the stations are fairly deep underground, hence scarily steep escalators.

Series of mosaics depicting key moments in the formation of the Soviet Union. If I get more time later I’ll dig up the names of these stations…

Bolsheviks unite!

These gates are meant to emulate a temple, in a departure from pre-WWII atheistic style.

From a station dedicated to unnamed soldiers: this one is of an infantryman.

I was surprised by the amount of Greco-Roman inspired decoration.

And finally, my favorite: a series of geometrical stained glass windows.

To top off our time in Moscow, last night we managed to get student rush tickets (for 100 roubles, or $3!) to closing night of Swan Lake at the Bolshoi Theater. The seats were terrible (it’s hard to explain how bad, but we had to stand for most of the show) but the ballet was incredible. We found out about the existence of student rush tickets/the process to get them very randomly, and as I haven’t found the process documented anywhere else, here’s a quick description: if you go to the Bolshoi at any given day starting at 6 am, you can put your name (and your group’s names) on a list for tickets to the day’s performance (it hosts ballet and opera performances on alternating days). A queue starts forming outside the theater at 2 pm, roughly based on the order of your name on the list, and tickets are handed out at 5:30 pm. Although this rushing system applies to all students, the ticket attendees might give you a hard time by refusing any non-Russian IDs (this actually happened to me, and I was only able to go as Elena’s boyfriend Luke kindly gave his up his ticket for me).

Fun fact: the Bolshoi is featured on the 100 Rouble note, and the insignia in front of the theater on the bill displays a hammer and sickle. Although hammers and sickles are still common sights around the city, the Bolshoi happens to have since switched its insignia to the logo of the modern Russian Federation, the double-headed eagle. Credit to Becky for noticing.

Seating in the Bolshoi: the big box on the right is known as Stalin’s Box. Apparently he fancied himself a connoisseur.

Random photo of the day: a small bakery at which we bought a jam bun and a small bag of glazed wheat rolls. Tiny bakeries like this are all over the place (including in the metro stations, with fully functioning mini-ovens!), and make me feel perpetually hungry as I walk around.

Bkycho (Delicious)!

You used the word “Queue”! Goodness, you’re becoming so Eurasian!

When in Rome…

(I actually had no idea that queue was a particularly European word. But I buy it.)
