Chandratal Lake – A short trek

Experiencing the Great Himalayas is one of the things that any avid nature lover would have in the top of their must-do lists. The mesmerizing valleys, waterfalls, snow clad peaks, the vast landscapes, the serene environment and the harsh conditions are all a part of the package that constitute a Himalayan journey. This is a photo journal of one such memorable journey to the beautiful Chandratal lake, in the Lahaul Spiti region of Himachal Pradesh, India.

Chandratal Lake, July 2011

 

At the crack of dawn, we left the lively town of Manali and Marhi was our first stop. The first sip of piping hot coffee invigorated our minds. The infinite blue sky and the animated slivery clouds guided us to Rohtang pass. I was made aware of the things of beauty that nature has given us in abundance, and how easily we forget to appreciate them.  After crossing the Rohtang pass, the landscape quickly turned from lush green to dry brown, as we entered the district of Lahaul and Spiti.
