Bhrigu Lake Trek: Journey to the Sacred Heights of Serenity and Adventure
The Bhrigu Lake Trek offers an enchanting journey to a sacred lake nestled at an altitude of 4,300 meters in the picturesque Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh. Known for its oval shape, the lake is located near Rohtang Pass in Manali and is named after the sage Bhrigu, who is believed to have meditated by its shores, imbuing the site with spiritual significance.
Starting from Chaudda Morh, approximately 20 km from Manali, the trek lasts about three days, culminating at the breathtaking Bhrigu Lake, which sits at an ambitious height of 14,100 ft. The trek unfolds through untouched forests, expansive meadows, and dramatic mountain ridges, leading to the serene lake.
According to local lore, Maharishi Bhrigu, the son of Brahma, used to meditate near this sacred water body thousands of years ago, adding a layer of mystique to the trek.
Day 1: Chaudda Morh to Rola Kholi
Day 2: Rola Kholi to Bhrigu Lake
Day 3: Return Journey
One of the lake’s intriguing attributes is its ability to change colors with the seasons. While it can sometimes freeze, locals believe it never completely does, preserving its sacred nature. The surrounding scenery, enhanced by the altitude, creates an ethereal atmosphere, often with clouds drifting at eye level.
The ideal time for the Bhrigu Lake Trek is from mid-May to October, with the sweet spot being before June or after July. The months of June and July are prone to monsoons, increasing the risk of landslides and making the trek less safe. Pleasant weather during the recommended months ensures a smoother experience.
By Air: The nearest airport is Bhuntar Airport in Kullu, with regular flights from Delhi. From the airport, you can arrange taxis or buses to reach Manali.
By Train: The closest railway station is Chandigarh. From there, buses and taxis can be easily arranged to Manali.
By Road: For a more adventurous route, consider a road trip. Numerous buses run from Delhi to Manali, and you can also catch a bus from Chandigarh. Upon arrival in Manali, you can hire a private taxi or carpool to Gulaba, the starting point of the trek.
The Bhrigu Lake Trek is classified as easy to moderate. However, the high altitude can be demanding, so proper training is essential. Focus on strength and cardiovascular training to prepare for the trek.
Embarking on the Bhrigu Lake Trek promises not just a physical challenge, but an unforgettable adventure steeped in natural beauty and cultural heritage.
