The small lakes nestled within the valley enhance the beauty
of Lahaul and Spiti region. The Chandra Taal is located at an elevation of
4,300 meters above sea level and has the Himalayas as the backdrop.
This crescent shape lake is also known as the Lake of the
Moon and is a popular tourist destination in Lahaul & Spiti.
It is an important
stop over for trekkers and campers who travel to the valley from the Kumzum
Pass.
The right banks of this lake have vast meadows and are
prominent sites for camping. With the onset of summer, brightly colored flowers
bloom here offering a stunning sight. This tranquil lakeside allows the single
travelers to read a book and couples to laze around as well.
The best time to visit this lake is from May to October.
Tourists and trekkers mostly travel from Batal on foot to reach this beautiful
lake.
