About Bhrigu Lake trek:
This easily accessible trek route in the upper Kullu valley and lying east of the famous Rohtang
pass offers almost everything which a beginner or an experienced hiker can think of. The trail goes
though virgin forests, and lush green meadows, Birds eye views of the surrounding valleys like
upper Kullu, Solang and Rohtang are trekkers delight. Snow clad peaks and ranges of Dhauladhar
and Pir Panjal are captivating. The lake itself derived its name from the peak called Bhrigu. Th
legend is that, Maharishi Bhrigu (saint) of Saptarishi fame had meditated on bank of this secluded
and pristine lake lying at ~4270m/14000ft above sea level. The shallow lake remains frozen for
more than half of the year. Even in summer the approach is filled with the fun of walking on snow.
Campsites provide overwhelming feeling of wonder and admiration. The nature is bountiful with
her gift of wildlife. 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 waterfalls, village home-stays, availability of world cuisines make it a
compelling destination for tourists and hikers who want to be far yet close from the hustle and
bustle of Manali.
