Bhrigu Lake is a lake located at an elevation of around
4,300 metres (14,100 ft) in Kullu
district, Himachal Pradesh, India. It is located
to the east of Rohtang Pass and is around 6 kilometres
(3.7 mi) from Gulaba village. It can be reached
by trekking either from the Vashishth temple, which is
famous for its hot water springs, which is close to the town of Manali or from Gulaba village.
Actually there is no settlement in Gulaba and is actually an area of the Pir
Panjal mountain range. It is named after Maharishi Bhrigu.
Legend has it that the sage used to mediate near the lake
and hence it has been rendered sacred; the locals believe that due to this the
lake never freezes completely.
