Parashar Lake

Overview

Nestled in the lap of the majestic Dhauladhar Range, Prashar Lake stands as one of Himachal’s most serene alpine treasures. Located at an altitude of approximately 8,900 feet in Himachal Pradesh, this crystal-clear lake is surrounded by rolling meadows, dense cedar forests, and sweeping Himalayan vistas.

One of its most fascinating features is the floating island, which mysteriously changes position within the lake throughout the year. Adding to its mystical charm is the beautifully crafted, three-storied pagoda-style temple dedicated to Sage Prashar, standing gracefully on the lakeside and enriching the atmosphere with spiritual tranquility.

The trek to Prashar Lake rewards visitors with breathtaking mountain panoramas, making it a favorite among nature lovers, photographers, and trekking enthusiasts. With its peaceful ambiance, untouched landscapes, and spiritual significance, Prashar Lake offers a perfect retreat for anyone seeking solitude, inspiration, and a deep connection with the mountains.
