Bhrigu Lake is a high altitude lake located at a height of 14,000 ft. In the state of Himachal Pradesh. About 6 Kms from the Gulaba Base, Bhrigu Lake can literally be called ‘paradise on earth’. This little lake is nestled in the lap of nature and is surrounded by snow capped mountains. This place is charming enough to attract tourists throughout the year. According to Hindu mythology, this is the place where Maharishi Bhrigu sat in deep meditation and that is how the lake got its name. When the summer season starts, there are green and blue ice rings formed around the circumference of the lake. During late summer, it turns completely into a blue lagoon.
The trek to Bhrigu lake is one of the most sought after treks in India which is frequently toured by both beginners as well as experienced hikers. The 3-days trek starts from Gulaba from where you will trek to Rola Kholi, the base of Bhrigu lake, which takes approximately 4-5 hours.
