Perched on hill top at an altitude of 3790m (12,430ft), Rani Sui lake (or Saurkundi Lake) is above Manali town. It can be called a flower valley as vast pastures around the lake remain covered with varieties of flowers between May and September. The area remains snowbound for seven months, while shady mountain faces hide snow for 8-9 months a year. The lake freezes completely in December and person can walk on it as thick ice is unbreakable. Rani Sui lake is south west of Manali with aerial distance not more than 7km. Close to Rani Sui lake is an amazing stone formation, similar to a base of a bridge, which is believed to have built by Pandavas during Mahabharata yuga. It is also a midway halt for shepherds enroute Kangra valley.
