About Surajtal Lake Trek
Surajtal — Lake of the Sun God — at 16,640 ft near Baralacha La on the Manali-Leh highway is one of the highest lakes in India and the source of the Bhaga River. This 2-day moderate trek from the highway approaches the lake through stark high-altitude desert terrain for an extraordinary high-altitude lake experience with Baralacha La's dramatic landscape as backdrop. The lake is vivid turquoise and surrounded by snowfields even in August. One of India's most accessible extreme-altitude lake experiences.
