Baralacha Trek

Baralacha Trek

The Baralacha Trek takes the trekkers all over the majestic Himalayas to explore the low temperature and the dry mountain desert of Spiti and Lahaul Valley while passing across Bara Shigri Glacier, the largest glacier in Himachal Pradesh. The route further takes us through the beautiful Chandratal Lake at an altitude of 4270 meters. The trek to Chandratal, the “Moon Lake” is almost like travelling to the moon and the region gets the impression as if the explorer has been to a new place for the very first time. And the most eligible reason for such belief is that the landscape and the environment of the whole region keep on shifting with every sighting much better than earlier. And once you are at the lake the world just stands still and the trekkers faint into another universe.  The lake truly magnetizes anyone and a glorious trek to this area is moderately difficult type and brings an opportunity to ascend across an altitude of approx. 4800 m without much difficulty.
