So what’s so special about the Bhrigu Lake trek?
The lake, for one, but apart from the lake, on the way to the lake, there’s a lot that you are going to see that’s going to leave you spellbound.
The Bhrigu Lake trek is one of the only treks in India in which you will come across high altitude meadows. It’s not that India is devoid of such high-altitude meadows, it’s just that generally, in order to reach such meadows one needs to trek for a good number of days. On this trek, however, that’s not the case. Within two-three days of the onset of the trek, you will come across such vast-undefiled, green meadows, surrounded by goliath snow peaks all around. Trust us, once you see and feel these meadows for yourselves, you will just want to lie down and cloud-gaze. And, why not, right?
As with all Himalayan treks, expect to be treated to a celestial display every night. Oh and guess what? Today, the Bhrigu Lake can be blue in colour while tomorrow, if you go to see the same lake it could have a greenish tinge to it. As a glacial lake, its colour and shape undergoes constant change.
Trek Itinerary:
Day 1- Base Camp: Reach the Manali Base Camp. Get acclimatized. We take all the group members along for a brief tour around Manali. If you want, you can go around and explore on your own too. In the evening, we will have an orientation session in which we will give you a brief overview on the trek along with some some trekking tips that will help you for the next week or so.
Day 2- Manali to Gulaba Trek to Rohlikohli Campsite: From Manali, you will be driving down to the start of the ‘Gulaba Trek’. From then on, it’s a 3-4 hour ascend to the Rohlikohli Campsite. You will be passing two beautiful, scenic streams; Chor Nallah and Kohli Nallah on the way up to the campsite. From the campsite, you will be blessed with a scenic view over the Solan Valley.
Day 3- Trek to Bhrigu Lake: From our Rohlikohli Campsite, the trek to Bhrigu Lake is a 3 hour ascend. Once we reach the lake, we will relax there for a while. Our trek guides will stir your imagination with some ‘pahadi legends’. In the afternoon, you will descend and head back to the Rohlikohli campsite.
Day 4- Trek back to Gulaba and head for Manali: Again, from Rohlikohli to Gulaba is a 3-4 hour descend. The trek is simple and quite relaxing, letting you take in the scenic views and the fresh-clean air for one last time. Once you reach Gulaba, you will be taking a bus back to Manali.
