Board Volvo from Delhi to Manali. Overnight in Volvo.

Bhrigu Lake trek begins at Gulaba. 24 km drive to Gulaba.

Once a quiet hamlet, Gulaba is now buzzing with tourists in transit to Rohtang Pass.

Altitude:10,370 ft (3,161 m)

Time taken:1 hour drive + 1 hour 15 minutes trek. Pick up from Manali at 12.30 PM

Vehicles drop you off at the road head near Gulaba checkpost.

Trek steadily underneath forest cover; reach the Jonkar Thatch campsite in about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Overnight in campsite.

Altitude: 10,370 ft (3,161 m) to 12,566 ft (3,830 m)

Time taken: 3-4 hours, 5 km

Trek gradient: Moderate; Steep ascent throughout followed by an undulating walk for the last 30 minutes.

Water sources: Carry 2 litres of water from Gulaba. The first water source is 15 minutes before Rola Khuli campsite and the second one is 10 minutes before – both at stream crossings. The first one is a better place for filling your water bottles since it has a steady flow of water. This saves you time.

The trail begins with a steep ascent. After around 20 minutes, the trail enters an open meadow where shepherds camp.

Observe Hanuman Tibbatowering over the meadow in the background.

Below Hanuman Tibba are the Seven Sister peaks seated in the Beas Kund Valley.

Turn right from the upper ridge of the meadow and head south. The second forested cover begins here.

Rola Khuliis a scenic grazing ground used by local shepherds. Located at the base of Bhrigu Lake, it makes for an ideal camping spot. You water source here is Chor Nallah, which flows across the camping ground.

Altitude: 12,565 ft (3,830 m) to 14,009 ft (4,270 m); back to 12,565 ft (3,830 m)

Time taken: 6-7 hours, 10 km

Trek gradient: Moderate; Starts on a stony trail. Initial steep ascent for 2 hours followed by a 10 minutes descent. Level walk for 15 minutes followed by an hour’s steep ascent to the lake.

Water sources: Bhrigu lake, streams along the way

Start early as you have a lot of distance to cover today. You have to trek a height of around 1,348 ft to reach Bhrigu Lake.

Bhrigu Lake rests between two high-altitude ridges.You begin with hiking to the first ridge, which is an hour away. In June, the trail is usually covered in snow. In July, as the snow melts on the lower reaches, you see the trail slowly turning from green to brown and white. As you reach the ridge, look for an oval glacial lake in the distance. Depending on the season, the lake is either surrounded by snow or fresh grass, along with alpine flowers.

On a clear day, you can catch a stunning panoramic view ofPir Pinjal and Dhauladhar ranges. Also, major peaks such as Indrasen, Deo Tibba and Hanuman Tibba stand majestically before you. The lake is normally enveloped in fog which can make finding the route tricky. It is always advisable to hire a local guide.

After spending time at the lake, retrace your way to Rola Khuli.

Altitude: 12,565 ft (3,830 m) to 10,370 ft (3,161 m)

Time taken: 3-4 hours, 5 km

Trek gradient: Easy. Mostly descending.

Water sources: Carry 2 litres of water from Rola Khuli

Today’s trek is an easy one. You get back to Gulaba through the meadows you came up from. The descent can be a bit steep but is good on your legs given you are always in the meadows. It takes 3-4 hours to reach Gulaba. Gulaba at around 10,370 ft is a better exit for your knees and feet as compared to Vasisht at 7,000 ft.
