The second thing in our itinerary was Parashar lake.
Prashar Lake: It took us 3hrs to reach Prashar Lake from pandoh. However, if you want to skip pandoh, you can reach Prashar lake directly via Mandi.
The route of Parashar lake was very narrow and roads were in a bad shape covered by rocks all around but the view was scenic and worth watching. You can reach directly via car to Prashar lake or choose to trek from Baggi which is at a distance of 7.5 km.
