Chandratal Lake In Spiti Valley | Best 7 Days Of My Life | Travel Vlog| DesiGirl Traveller
In this video, I have visited Chandratal Lake from my campsite in Kaza. On the way, I crossed Chicham Bridge, which is also known as Asia’s highest bridge, Losar village that is also called as the first village of Spiti Valley. Chandratal lake or Chandrataal lake meaning the lake of the moon is a sweet water lake. Its name originates from its crescent shape. Chandrataal lake is 1 km long and half km wide. The official name of this lake is ‘Chandrataal Wetland’. This lake is accessible only during the summer months i.e. June, July, August and September, and for the rest of the year the lake remains frozen. As per the legends, it is the spot from where Lord Indra took the eldest Pandava brother, Yudhishtra in his human form to Swarga, in his chariot. People of the surrounding villages believe that fairies visit this lake during midnight. The most interesting part of this lake is that it looks quite differently during different times of day. When I visited it in the afternoon, lake water was crystal blue in colour. The real charm of Chandratal lake is in the early morning when water is more still and light is just perfect for water to reflect the surrounding mountains. Chandratal is one of the wetlands in country, which have been included in Ramsar Convention. Therefore, no activity is allowed around the lake. Camping sites are good 3 kilometres away from the lake.
With every vlog I have done in Spiti Valley in Himachal, I say this: Spiti is not a place, it’s a feeling. Spiti is Love. Make sure to watch my previous videos from Spiti series. Links are here:

Spiti Valley Ep 4 | Spiti Valley Road Trip from Chandratal to Manali | Tanya Khanijow
In this vlog, I travelled from Kaza to Chandratal via Kunzun Pass. The noteworthy point though is, that the route till Manali is really bad. So if you are going to be travelling yourself, please go with a bigger vehicle and make sure you're a very experienced driver.

Chandra Taal | The Moon Lake | Timelapse
Chandra Taal or the 'Moon Lake' is a small lake (about 4km in circumference) located in the Himachal Pradesh state of India. While not as big as the lakes in Ladakh, ChandraTal is definitely one of the most beautiful lakes I have seen.
Because of its small size the water in the lake is perfectly still when there is no wind. The entire lake is like a well polished mirror reflecting the peaks and glaciers of the magnificent Chandra - Bhaga mountain range. I camped for 2 days next to the lake to capture these time-lapse images.

VLOG 10 - Journey to Chandra Taal lake in Himachal Pradesh, India
FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM: @djtally
Chandra Taal is a scenic lake situated in the Spiti region of Himachal Pradesh. It gets its name due to its crescent shape akin to that of a horned moon. To reach #chandrataal , one needs to navigate the treacherous #pagalnala which left the vehicle rattling for the remainder of the trip. We lost count on the amount of times we had to get out of the vehicle to guide its maneuvering. It’s safe to say that this ride is not for the faint of heart and definitely one of the more challenging ones we’ve made. However, the battering suffered on the journey was quickly dissipated as we got the first glimpse of the clear green waters of this gorgeous lake. I thoroughly missed my drone as it was out of service because I had accidentally crashed it into a canyon a few days earlier... Nevertheless, the outright beauty and energy of this place easily outweighed my feelings of regret. Places like Chandra Tal have an uncanny ability to make one introspect about life and other such manner of things. We really felt blessed to be able to experience this place.

Kye Gompa (also spelled Ki, Key or Kee - pronounced like English key) is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery located on top of a hill at an altitude of 4,166 metres (13,668 ft) above sea level, close to the Spiti River, in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh, Lahaul and Spiti district, India.
It is the biggest monastery of Spiti Valley and a religious training centre for Lamas. It reportedly had 100 monks in 1855.
Kye Gompa is said to have been founded by Dromtön (Brom-ston, 1008-1064 CE), a pupil of the famous teacher, Atisha, in the 11th century. This may however, refer to a now destroyed Kadampa monastery at the nearby village of Rangrik, which was probably destroyed in the 14th century when the Sakya sect rose to power with Mongol assistance.[4][5]
Kye was attacked again by the Mongols during the 17th century, during the reign of the Fifth Dalai Lama, and became a Gelugpa establishment. In 1830, it was sacked again during the wars between Ladakh and Kulu. In 1841, it was severely damaged by the Dogra army under Ghulam Khan and Rahim Khan. Later that same year, it suffered more damage from a Sikh army. In the 1840s, it was ravaged by fire and, in 1975, a violent earthquake caused further damage which was repaired with the help of the Archaeological Survey of India and the State Public Works Department.[6]
The walls of the monastery are covered with paintings and murals, an example of the 14th century monastic architecture, which developed as the result of Chinese influence.
Kye monastery has a collection of ancient murals and books, including Buddha images.[7]
There are three floors, the first one is mainly underground and used for storage. One room, called the Tangyur is richly painted with murals. The ground floor has the beautifully decorated Assembly Hall and cells for many monks.[6]
Kye Gompa now belongs to the Gelugpa sect, along with Tabo Monastery and Dhankar Gompa, one of three in Spiti.
The monastery of Kee, for instance, accommodates nearly 250 monks, who reside within the sacred walls in winter, and stay during the summer with their parents or brothers, working in the fields, or employed in carrying travellers' goods. These monasteries have their regular heads, or abbots, and the higher ecclesiastical titles can only be obtained by the candidates proceeding in person to either Shigatzee (Shigatse) or Lhassa (Lhasa).[8]
A celebration of its millennium was conducted in 2000 in the presence of the Dalai Lama.[7] A new Prayer Hall was inaugurated on 3 August 2000 by the Fourteenth Dalai Lama. It was presented through a tableau in the 69th Republic Day celebration held at Delhi.

The Road Trip to spiti valley (chandar taal) Himachal Pardesh india
Skip Intro Start from 0:42 sec
we did chandrataal trek starting from Chandigarh to manali by traveller and then by Tata sumo from manali to tenzin camps chandrataal (moon lake).It took around 10 hours to reach our camp base of chandrataal.
The road towards the lake is very treacherous but the view it offers will be beyond your imagination. In monsoon time, all the waterfalls will burst into view.
When the Car reaches the destination and the moment you got out of your car, you will fell like you have reached in the amid of ringing and pulsing silence. You have entered a world of Shadow and Light, horizon and sun. All sense of time and space will fall away.
Just sit and relax and hear the whistling of wind in your ears. Just look at the mountains, the pattern they make, better than any designer.
