In the serene surroundings of the towering snow-covered peaks and green pastures lies the breathtakingly beautiful Chandra Tal. It is located at an altitude of about 4300 metres in the Spiti. Drive through the magnificent route from Kaza to Kunzum Pass, and thereafter, to the lake. However, the journey to the lake from the pass is quite challenging, and hence, you need an expert to drive on these roads. Alternatively, there is a trek of around a kilometre to reach the lake. The best time to visit is early morning when the reflection of the snow-capped peaks in the placid lake water effortlessly casts a spell on you. Spend the night in the tents pitched in the lap of snow-covered Himalayas (literally), just a few kilometres from the lake. It might just turn out to be one of the most exciting experiences of your life.
