Usually, these high-altitude lakes are difficult to reach and require days of hiking and crossing difficult terrains before you can enjoy the view of the lake. But all these heavy complications can be kept at bay with the beautiful Bhrigu Lake Trek in the upper Kullu Valley on the eastern side of the famous Rohtang Pass in Himachal Pradesh. This is an ideal weekend hike promising lots of fun for both beginners and experienced hikers. Nestled at an altitude of 14,000 feet, the Bhrigu Lake Trek offers mesmerising natural views and breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains, lush meadows, and green rich forests. One of the popular trekking expeditions, The Bhrigu Lake Trek has gained prominence due to its absolute display of natural extravagance and is one of the easy treks in the Himalayas. People with competent physical fitness can easily enjoy the privilege of hiking in the exclusive lake area even without previous hiking experience. The Bhrigu Lake trek may be an ideal option for beginners, but every Himalayan terrain brings a special set of challenges. The routes of this trek are steep with a hard climb of 7 km on day 1 and 6 km on day 2 without any descent. In a short time, we will gain considerable altitude. You need good leg strength and endurance to cover these distances. Without proper practice, gear knowledge, and a standard level of fitness, this could prove fatal. The picturesque Bhrigu Lake has significant historical and religious implications. According to information provided by the locals, there is an association between the lake with Sage Bhriga as the pious soul is known to have performed powerful meditations and rituals on the banks of the lake hundreds and hundreds of years ago. Even the locals believe that many gods of the Kullu valley have taken a dip in the sacred waters of the lake, making it sacred for devotees. The location of Bhrigu lake is about 6 km from Gulaba which is a picturesque village about 21 km from Manali.
