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 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 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.

Funtabulous services provided by JustWravel for my first ever trek. The experience was so good that I am already eager to take another trip with them.

I went to Chopta Chandrashila trek with JustWravel and it was one of the best experience I have ever had. I would highly recommend them.
Amit Dixit
I recently went on the Chopta Tungnath trek organized by JustWravel and guided by Abhishek and Ashwin. Despite bad weather and landslides, the experience was unforgettable. The team's professionalism, knowledge, and dedication were remarkable. They ensured our safety and made the trek enjoyable. The arrangements were excellent, and every detail was well-planned.
I enjoyed a lot and made some really good friends. Abhishek and Ashwin will make you feel comfortable from the very start of trip. Highly recommended!
Deepanshu Goel
Travelled with JW for the first time, Jaisalmer trip (23-26 Dec) and it turned out to be an enthralling experience! Big shoutout to Lakshay and Divya for being so wonderful. Would love to be a part of future trips with JW.
Suggestions:
1. Tent conditions can be improved
2. Longewala can be skipped and instead Kuldhara fort can be added.
3. Bus stops can be decided in advance.

It was indeed a memorable experience travelling with Just Wravel for a trip to Ladakh. The itinerary was very well executed and all thanks to our trip leader - Ramneek. Everything was well-organized, from the accommodation to the activities. We explored beautiful monasteries to lakes, rivers, sand dunes and landscapes. A special shout out to Ramneek who went out of the way to help trip members, guided us, educated us about the day wise itinerary, clothing to carry & places to visit. While the trip was full of adventure, it was relaxing too.

Try YourselfBhutan ..you beauty !!!
My first travelling experience with JustWravel was great. Overall the Bhutan trip was wonderfully organised with interesting talk on the country and history. The itinerary was very well thought out, combining leisure time with other activities. Accomodation were good and the meals were decent as well.
Also, met some great people on the trip. Our co-travellers were accomodating, helpful and thankfully had a great sense of humour. Special mention to Abhi, Trip Captain and Tashi, Tour guide for being so helpful and patient with us (specially me, during the hike).
Kudos to the team. Keep doing great work and help people experience the joy of travelling.
