Day 1

I started my solo journey form Delhi and on Day 1 In the morning I reached my base camp in Manali. It was just near to bias river. After that, I had my breakfast at my base camp and I took some rest. After my lunch I went for an acclimatization walk through the old Manali Town . In the evening our Guide gave us an orientation session, which taught us about things to carry, how to pack our bags and general awareness about the trek route. After my dinner, we played music and sit arround bonfire & I meet up with other travelers and after that went for a sleep in our base camps.

Day 3

We had to wake up early this morning to start our trek to Bhrigu Lake, so we had breakfast at 7’o clock in the morning and packed our lunch and started our journey. It was a little cloudy day. And we was passing through beautiful mountains. After 4-5 hr trek we have finally got the exhilarating view of Bhrigu Lake. The view was so beautiful that it had left us spellbound for some moments. Our guide explained to us the significance and history of this region and told us about the beliefs of the locals for Bhrigu Lake. One of the most popular beliefs is “Rishi Bhrigu meditated here and used to take bath in the holy water”. After the long trek, it was the time for rest in our camps with a delicious dinner.

Day 4

It was the day to leave these beautiful mountains and return back to our homes. In our return-trek to Gulaba, we had the astonishing view of lofty mountains and virgin forests which was really refreshing. The return trek was easy and took around 3-4 hours to reach Gulaba.  From there we were dropped to Manali by vehicle. Our amazing trek to the Bhrigu Lake concludes there.
