About Prashar Lake Trek

Prashar Lake is one of the hidden gems of Himachal Pradesh. Surrounded by majestic mountains and cedar forests, the lake is believed to have been created by the sage Prashar. The beautiful three-storied wooden temple dedicated to Sage Prashar stands beside the lake and showcases traditional Himachali architecture.

During winter, the entire landscape is covered with snow, making it one of the most beautiful snow treks in North India. In summer and spring, colorful wildflowers and lush green meadows transform the region into a paradise for trekkers and photographers.
