Fondly called as the “Moon Lake”, Chandratal is one of the splendours of Himalayas! The beauty of the Himalayan Lake will do nothing but bewitch you with its changing colors from dusk to dawn. With the shades of brown and white, the lake perfectly blends with the surroundings and looks surreal. Take a tour to Chandratal Lake and get the best of nature in Himachal Pradesh. Weekend Getaway in Chandratal with Jeep Safari is the chance for you to explore this wonder of the Himalayas.
Spiti Valley has recently seen an increase in tourism, and this place is worth a visit at least once in a lifetime. Chandratal, one of the untouched regions in Himachal Pradesh, is a paradise for trekkers and campers, and it is only accessible for few months in a year. It will be an amazing experience to see the crystal clear lake of sweet water change its color from shades of blue to shades of green. Earlier, the lake was one of the places which were accessible only by trekking, but in the last few years the road conditions have improved and it's accessible by car.
Trekking is one of the best ways to go up there, as the silence and the serenity of the place will leave you in peace. As Chandratal is one of the most remote regions of the Himalayas, our aim would be to keep the environment clean. We will make sure that we minimize the use of carbon and plastic, and help reduce its impact on ecosystem. Communities and people who live here have limited resources due to the harsh climatic conditions and accessibility issues, so it’s our responsibility to travel in ways that support the environment, create awareness about eco- tourism and contribute to the greater good of the community. We can contribute by staying in the local home stays, not depending on firewood, by not littering the place, and by saying no to plastic.
Take this weekend getaway to Chandratal with us and experience nature like never before. Explore more trekking options in Spiti Valley
