| With
the opening of the road from Manali
to Leh various new areas for trekking
have opened up. One of the most fascinating
of these is the Lahoul Valley, drained
by two mighty rivers, the Chandra and
the Bhaga. Both start on a 16,000 ft
(4,890 m) pass - the Baralacha la -
in opposite directions and later join
each other to form the Chenab, which
is one of the biggest tributaries of
the Indus. This trek explores the upper
reaches of the Chandra river and goes
up to its source on the Baralacha la,
where it joins the Manali/Leh highway.
The highlight of the trek is Chandra
Tal or Moon Lake, which stands out sharply
among the towering peaks and barren
beauty of Lahaul. |
