Pool Of The Gods: Bhrigu Lake Trek
Living up to the supreme title of “Valley of the Gods”, Kullu valley offers the adventure seekers and nature lovers in us, another awe inspiring and a show stopping trek to the “Holy Bhrigu Lake” at an altitude of 4,235 mts. Legend has it, 'Rishi’ Bhrigu meditated at Bhrigu Lake and wrote “Bhrigu Samhita” and hence the lake was so named. Natives believe that the Gods of the Kullu valley take a dip in this holy lake, most significant of them being Rishi Vashisht who traverses to the sacred lake at least once in 2 to 3 years. Hence it is so revered by all.
