Chandratal Baralacha Trekking Tours

The trek to Chandratal the “Moon Lake" is almost like going to the moon. You almost feel like the first explorers going to a new place for the first time. The landscape and the scenery change ever so quickly with each sighting bettering the one before.

This is till you reach the lake! The world comes to a stand still here. Staring at you is this turquoise crescent of water surrounded by the Chandrabhaga & Mulkila Massifs. The lake seems to hypnotize you with its various hues and is like a nymph left alone in this great Himalayan setting of towering mountains.

This moderately difficult trek is also provides one with an opportunity to get to as high of 4800 m without too much difficulty.
