Prashar Lake Trek Packages

Day 01 — Mandi Pickup, Scenic Drive, Trek to Prashar Lake & Sunset Ridge Walk

Drive: 29 km (~1.5 hours) from Mandi to Baggi Village.

Trek Distance: ~9 km

Time Required: 4-5 hours

Trek Start & End Point: Baggi Village

Trail Difficulty: Easy to Moderate (Steady uphill climb)

You have to reach our hotel at Sauli Khadd (Mandi) for freshen up and breakfast

10:00 AM – The Forest Climb: The trail starts right next to a mountain stream before entering a dense, beautiful forest canopy filled with ancient oak, rhododendron, and towering deodar trees. The path is a mix of rocky steps and soft forest floor.

01:00 PM – Lunch in the Clearing: Take a well-deserved break at a scenic forest clearing to enjoy your packed lunch and rehydrate.

03:00 PM – Arriving at the Lake: As you break past the tree line, the landscape suddenly opens up into rolling alpine meadows. Nestled perfectly in a deep green bowl is the mystic, deep blue Prashar Lake and its 3-tiered pagoda temple.

04:30 PM – Sunset Ridge Hike: After checking into your dome tents and enjoying hot tea with snacks, your guide will take you on a short walk to the highest surrounding ridge line. From here, you get a staggering 360-degree view of the snow-clad Dhauladhar, Pir Panjal, and Kinnaur ranges lit up by the setting sun.

Highlights & Camp Life:

• Enjoy a warm, freshly prepared mountain dinner around a campfire (subject to local forest permissions), followed by stargazing in the clear, unpolluted night sky.

Day 2 — Floating Island Sunrise, Temple Visit, Trek Down & Return to Mandi

Trek Distance: ~9 km

Time Required: 3-4 hours

Drive: 29 km (~1.5 hours) from Baggi Village to Mandi.

Trail Type: Open valley views, waterfalls, village trails, and a gradual descent.

06:00 AM – Sunrise & The Floating Island: Wake up early to catch the mountain mist rising off the lake water. Take a peaceful walk around the lake's fenced perimeter. Keep an eye on the famous circular floating island inside the lake—it freely shifts its location depending on the seasonal currents.

08:00 AM – Temple Visit: Visit the stunning 14th-century wooden temple dedicated to Sage Prashar. Take time to admire the incredibly intricate wood carvings depicting ancient deities and folklore.
