Breath taking view with amazing (moderate difficulty) trek which includes jungle, river and snow. It is 10 km trek which takes 7 hours (on an average) to reach the lake. But you wont regret any step you take. Jungle has animals like Bear which we rarely see and you can stay in camp overnight near lake. Possibly 5-6 shops on the way so carry snacks and make sure you are with a guide as it is not as easy as triund trek. Have fun trekking:)

It was so cold but to be frank, we had the best time of our lives. We haven't done such difficult treks before. So it was challenging from the start to end. With the beautiful peaks of Himalayas in the background, the place looked enormously beautiful. We loved the views so much. Staying was also very difficult as it was too cold inside the tents. But the guides helped us a lot to have a comfortable time. Thank you so much folks.
