Steep 4-day trek from Gulaba to a high alpine lake (~4,267 m) above Manali through meadows.
Bhrigu Lake lies above the Gulaba side of the Rohtang road at about 14,000 ft. The ~22 km route climbs steeply through meadows, gaining height quickly, which is why it is rated moderate. Snow lingers until about mid-July; wildflowers peak in July–August.
