Overview
The Prashar lake trek is the perfect weekend trip from Delhi to enjoy some peaceful time while also satisfying your inner adrenal junkie. Situated at an altitude of 2730 meters above sea level, the mystical lake is nestled among snow-covered mountains with the Beas river flowing downside.
One of the most fascinating things about Prashar lake is that a mysterious island keeps floating in the lake all throughout the year. It seemingly looks as if it were rotating in an orbit around the Prashar Temple which is one of the must-visit places in Prashar.
To reach Prashar lake, one has to first cover the distance between Mandi and Parashar, where the village Mandi is the starting point for anyone visiting Prashar lake. Prashar Trek distance sums up to be around 16 Kilometers to and fro which makes up for a wonderful uphill climbing experience.
The temple here has mythical as well as historical significance as it dates back to the 13th century and was named after the sage Prashar. As far as legend goes, it is believed that this three-storied temple was built using a single tree. Interestingly, the stories associated with the temple go as far back in time as the Hindu epic Mahabharata.
One of the reasons that this lake stirs curiosity in the minds of travelers is that the true depth of this lake still remains unknown.
We organize this trek to Prashar lake in an effort to encourage passionate travelers to explore the hidden gems our country has to offer. Prashar lake is easily one of the best winter treks to do in India and a place that you must visit in Himachal.
In this weekend getaway, we take you to a winter wonderland. Although the cold weather and high altitude can put some strain on you, the view that you get to see is extraordinary and feels rewarding. Triund, Dhauladhar, and Hanuman Tibba are some of the peaks that are visible from the viewpoint.
The Prashar lake is treated as a sacred place by all the locals and once you reach this place, you won’t be able to stop yourself from getting lost in the spiritual essence that is palpable in the air.
There are a ton of places to visit near Prashar lake, which are equally beautiful and can add to your experience. Bijli Mahadev Temple, Lord Ramchandra Temple, and Kulant Pith are a few examples of the same. Also, if you are looking for camping places to stay near Prashar lake then your best bet could be camping near Prashar lake, a forest guest house or one could take shelter in the Parashar temple itself.
The best time to do the Prashar lake trek is from November to December when the mountains as well as the meadows are covered with a thick blanket of ivory snow. Although it remains accessible around the year, the presence of the snow just makes the entire experience even more breathtaking than it usually is.

Neha Agarwal
Trip Name - Parashar lake
Trip lead - Aadit Babbar
I chose Justwravel for my first trek and it was really awesome experience. I got an amazing Trek lead - Aadit Babbar who made the whole trek a fun experience despite it being tough for me. I couldn't have asked for anyone other than him for the first ever trek I've done. Apart from this, all the facilities and amenities provided were good and I'm really satisfied with the services. The food was also top class and the stay facility at the base was good with some amazing people. I'll definitely use JustWravel to book some more fun trips like this.

Priya Gautam
The overall experience was amazing. Thank you Justwravel and a special shoutout to our captain Ankit .
The most important factor about my Trek to Parashar Lake was that they happily arranged food for fast , as I was traveling during Navratras . The last moment arrangement they did during Trek was superb. I was able to complete my Trek , even while fasting.
Thank you guys for the accomodation!
Looking forward to more such trips!

Tejpal Kour
Have traveled on many treks with justwravel. Recent one was parashar lake where trek lead Abhishek bisht was very welcoming and helpful
Harsh Vardhane
Did a trip with them to Parashar lake. They were quite helpful from the starting of the journey to the end. They created groups to get connected with common questions, and any info needed.
Coming to the Trek captain, Abhishek. He was quite jolly throughout the ride. Always ready to introduce new games to the group to build bonding between people. You can talk with him at any point of the Trek and he would always reply back with a smile, even during the hardest Trek points. He motivated the people lagging behind by playing good music to urge them on. Only minus point (just kidding here), was looking at him made you feel cold 🥶, since he was fine with just one sweatshirt while every one else was shivering with the cold.😂😂😅
Next, our local tour guide Raj, embodies the saying atithi devo bhava, he treated the whole group well, and helped setup bonfire, camp, and whatever else anyone needed. He knew when to push people and when to take a rest, so maintained a good pace on the Trek while still having ample amount of rest stops.
They both carried lunch for all of use from bottom of the Trek to the top, which was totally unexpected but fully welcome.
Will definitely go trekking with them again.
Ashoka Wardhan
Was an amazing and unique experience travelling to Parashar Lake with JustWravel in a group led by our trip leader Faisal. Got to live in the wilderness while hiking, camping, and even rock climbing! Our trip leader made sure to accommodate all our needs and helped us get through to the end with a smile on our faces. Couldn't have imagined spending new year's eve any other way!
