This trek that leads to the high-glaciated lake is not to be confused with The Lake of the Moon (Chandertal - in the Spiti region). This trek leads out of the tiny village of Khanul, a little distance away from Manali and climbs steadily through evergreen forests and meadows, alongside numerous streams. An easy trek with some of the most beautiful walks in Manali region unfolds the most magnificent mountainscapes.
