Hello beautiful people π²
How are you all?
I wish you all a happy weekend π
In today's travel blog , I will take you all to the Prashar trek and beautiful landscapes which you can see during trek. During first weekend of March , we all decided to take a trek to a beautiful lake called Prashar lake which is located in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh, India. Prashar lake is located at an altitude of 2730 metres or 8960 feet from the sea level. You can go by road also to Prashar lake. My brother's and me , we always wanted to do this trek because my father say that the scenery of Himalayas which you can see during trek is really serene.
We didn't exactly knew how much Prashar lake is far away from my home. It was a guess that it should be around 6 km. So , On Sunday , we all got ready and started our trek at 10:00 a.m. .
The weather was cloudy at that day . We were not sure that we should do this trek. But , finally we did it. At first, we all are excited and full of energy for this trek. We are clicking photos and walking very fast.
We did not know the exact way to the trek. My father tried to explain the way, but we didn't understand that much. So , we decided to go by road.
The forest area of this trek has many beautiful streams. The water of this stream is so pure and cold.
We kept walking through the different types of tall trees. The trees are so big that it is really difficult to measure their height. Standing by surrounding these trees made me realise, how much lucky we are , living in such a beautiful place and amazing nature surrounding us.
After walking for 40 minutes, we decided to take a break and sit for 10 minutes. Our cousin brother is also with us , so , it was a great chance to talk about his side of the family and his life experiences. The beautiful scenery around us is a treat to watch. I like doing treks even though my body is tired of walking, my mind feels calm and fresh.
With increasing altitude, the temperature start falling. The trail to Prashar lake is both serene and adventurous. While the dense Himalayan forest lends it serenity, it's moderately steep and slippery climb make it adventurous to explore.
After walking for another 1 hour 30 minutes, we decided to take a break for 15 minutes and eat some snacks to recharge us. The weather was perfect for trek , neither too cold nor too hot. The tree and it's big branches was worth capturing. How can this tree be this much long? It's big branches are hanging like a rope.
The scenery in route was mesmerizing. The lush green mountains encountered on the way with the beautiful sight of snow capped mountains makes the journey even more worthwhile.
After walking for another 2 hours , we are at the top of mountain watching far away mountains in the Kullu valley. We can see the snow capped meadows of Prashar. It was exactly 15 kilometres from my home, which was double of what we had guessed and takes 4.5 hours to get there.
So , our parents had warned us about the snow , but we had not imagined that there would be this much snow. There was 5 feet deep snow at Prashar. The one mistake which I did during this trek was I didn't wear the right shoes for trekking and the snow was also there. It was really difficult for me to walk.
The pine trees in the forest area is adding charm to the beauty of Prashar and the snowfall is making difficult to walk.
After walking for 4 hours , we had finally reached the Prashar mountain. That's it for this blog. In my next blog, I will take you all to Prashar lake and the calmness surrounds it.
