- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- This video depicts the very first successful attempt to reach Bhrigu lake (14,000 feet/4225 meters) situated near Manali in Himachal Pradesh.
We were a team of two individuals (Manav and izhaar) and we started our hike from Dhungri village in Manali. We started walking towards Vashisht temple (Starting point of the trek) at 06:40 am on 11th April 2019 and reached there by 07:20 am.
We were carrying two backpacks (Wildcraft Karakoram 60L and Forclaz 20L) for the trek. The things we carried are as follows;

I will soon come up with a full-length video talking about 'Things to carry' and 'Total expenditure' of the Bhrigu lake trek.
.
With everything sorted we started hiking up and witnessed small snow patches in the jungle at an altitude of 7500 feet. We moved swiftly through them and took our first break just before the snowfield. As we were hiking up we came across patches of dry grass, small waterfalls, footprints of bear and thus we started whistling every 10 mins so as to maintain a healthy distance from the wildlife.
The weather was very clear and the sun was not very harsh. Soon we wore the gaiters and starting walking in the humongous meadows of the trail (which were covered by a thick blanket of snow). After walking till 12:30 pm we finally reached Panduropa (a big plateau which acts as the first campsite for the Bhrigu lake trek from Vashisht side). We saw a huge ridge in front of us and we hiked for another hour and decided to camp on top of the ridge.
Since we had enough time with us we even slept on the exposed rocks for sometime.
As the sun set we had our dinner and feel asleep camping at 3550 meters watching the whole of Kullu district. The temperatures inside the tent were really high and we had a sound sleep.
Day 02 - 12th April
After having a heavy breakfast (oats, jaggery and dry fruits) we packed our tent and started hiking at 08:00 am. We left the rucksack (60L) at one point in the trail as there was no one except the two of us in the whole region. We kept peanuts, dry fruits, jaggery, water bottle, gloves and power bricks in the small backpack and started running towards Bhrigu lake with trek poles and Ice axes in hand.
After crossing vast landscapes of snow and two short breaks we reached the long awaited lake at 12 noon. To our utter surprise there was nothing. Since the region received huge amount of snowfall this year, the lake was completely covered with snow and one can barely see the boundary of the lake. We took the help of Maps.ME to confirm that we are at the right coordinates. After sitting there for 10 minutes we turned back and reached near our rucksack in 2 hours.
We quickly picked the rucksack and then after a series of Glissade touched down the forest section by 02:40 pm.
After that it was a joyride remembering the experience we had and we reached Vashisht temple at 05:00 pm thus marking the end of another beautiful trek.

The raw emotions displayed while sliding down the snow slope was so amazing. haha
Felt like an Eskimo

Thank you Vaibhav for the comment. Glad that the video was helpful. Keep hiking bro. 👍
Hi Manav and Izhaar !
A beautiful video indeed !
You guys are nature lovers for sure and love venturing out on various treks.
Have watched your wonderful videos on treks today.
I have subscribed for your videos as well as future notifications.
You guys are awesome twosome !
As a well wisher I would like to make a few suggestions from safety point of view for your next trek to such high altitudes. Consider wearing special snow shoes with spikes for better grip on ice as you tend to slip on ice especially when you encounter hard ice, secondly please wear sun glasses to avoid UV rays at this altitude and lastly there might be hidden deep crevices when you encounter cracks in the ice,so please be extra careful by just using your ice axe before you put your foot down.
Please avoid sliding on the slope downhill on ice,as you might suddenly encounter the end of the hill into a steep drop ,which might land you up in problems.Yes ! sliding is real fun but it brings dangers with it,so be sure where you slide.
IF I HAVE OFFENDED YOU IN ANY WAY BY MY SUGGESTIONS, PLEASE DO LET ME KNOW, I WILL DELETE MY COMMENTS.
Its just out of concern that I have jotted down a few suggestions in my comments, for your next trip on the snowy mountains.
I'm a nature lover too and have done mountaineering while I was in Air Force.
Would be waiting for your videos in future ,as your videos provide me info about places which I might consider to visit.
Watched your video on Andharban today and would be making a visit there, post monsoon for sure with my husband.
God bless you and keep posting such wonderful videos !
Take care !!!!! :-) :-)
Hi there
First of all thank you so much for such a beautiful comment. I got the notification about the comment and the moment I read it, there was a constant smile on my face. I always used to believe in the power of social media, and specifically RUclips. Thank you so much for reaching out to me. And I ALWAYS keep safety as my priority on all the treks. The glissade (sliding) that I was doing was not at all risky since the slope was very long and safe. Further, I don't prefer micro spikes until and unless I really need them, rather I focus on doing treks with minimal dependency on equipment. However, I had a pair of micro spikes in my daysack. Further, there were minor cracks on the trail, there were no crevasses and I was paying due attention to all the slopes that I was negotiating.
And Izhaar is indeed a great inspiration and a dear friend.
I would request you to please drop a 'Hello' on my WhatsApp number 8946-823-824 just because I interact with all my subscribers personally as much as possible. 🙂🙂
Thank you once again for expressing so much love and concern for the channel. It really means a lot to me. 🙂🙂
शाबाश छोरे लगा रह । 👌

Stumbled across your beautiful climb:)

Thank you man. Wish to see u soon in the outdoors.

Thanks
I love the dude's outfit .. I did the trek last week couldn't get to the lake due to bad weather. And dislocated my ankle during the descent.
Hard luck bro. Do take care and come back strong. All the very best for your future treks and thanks for reaching out. 🙂
8:06 reminded me of Jack Sparrow running from the island tribesmen in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Izhaar is known by the name 'Indian Jack Sparrow' in the Indian travel community. 🙂
@@Creedaz Haha, for good reasons. :D

amazing video
Thank you Sidharth
Good job Maanav! Loved the video and most importantly the message "Leave No Trace". I hope our country man understand the importance of that. Looking forward & wish you good luck!
Thank you very much backpackingsoul. 🙂 And yes, I feel that 'Leave No Trace' is one of the most important principle that every trekker and nature lover should follow. It is important that we leave the place as clean as it was for others to experience.
@@Creedaz I couldn't agree more!
fabulous
Thank you
Just amazing ..Wondeful

THANKS A LOT MANAV!
You're welcome
Well done 👌👌 I have been to waterfall many times and on the way i have seen that sign of the trek going towards up on the hill but never knew where it will leads to. thanks to knowing me about it. next time will explore it by my own.
Good to know Akhil 🙂🙂 I wish you hike to Bhrigu lake in future.
@@Creedaz thank you very much.. I am planning for a trip in january first week. Can you suggest some places. We gonna travel on bikes 4 bikes and yes we expecting to trek also. So In jaunary which are the places that we can trek and also the road conditions. It would be really helpful as I was away from mountains past years was working in south so.
January is not a great month for bike trips and hikes to be honest. You could hike Kedarkantha, Brahmatal, Nah tibba
@@Creedaz ok thank you very much will make plan accordingly.
You're welcome
Sahi ja rahe ho. :) Start a patreon. I'd be the first backer.
Arey bro. Means a lot. Thank u for all the support 🙂
Beautiful, really beautiful. I liked it. By the way, there should have been some chance the scenic beauty bereft of you do that I could take chance to have screen shots of the nature beauty.

Aaj padha mene ye. Such an unprofessional behaviour. 🙈

Thank you 🙏
Beautifully done 😍😍

There is a lot of snow, it is very difficult to track in it. Very challenging
Snow do add challenges
Wow.... wonderful.....

Hlw bro, there must have need guide or not !?
Can we go January 1st week ! How can download your map please help. Thank you 😊
Getting a guide is not compulsory. But if you are a beginner it is better to take a guide with you. You can install the mobile application called Maps.me for map
Hi I love you guys !!!! Just too good. we are going on dec 17 to bhrigu.
Could you tell me can we go during this time?
Which route is better. Iv got hernia so gulaba village route will be easier for me and my son ? Please advise as this looks pretty strenuous??? Ha ha.
December is not a really good time to do the Bhrigu Lake trek.
What is this time , I mean month in which you did this trek?
10th April 2019
Doesn't it give you toothache, just eating the ice like that?
It is NOT a good way to hydrate yourself. Further, at that time, I never let the snow touch my teeth and it would melt using my body heat.
Anyway, I have stopped doing it now because eating snow or ice would rather dehydrate the body instead of hydrating.
Hello, even our group had gone to brighu in april 2019
what dates did you go on
April 10th
@@Creedaz oh Nice we had gone on april 24
Hi you have to give information like when is the best season to enjoy snow while trekking
I will come with a DIY series. I will tell all the information related to a trek in those videos. Thank you for the suggestion.
Make a vid about trekking gear
Sure 😊 Very soon
Osm bro..Thanks for sharing your experiences.. It would be grateful for us, if you reply for below queries:
Will you suggest visiting bhrigu at mid April'20?
Is it possible to see snow at that time?
There will be loads of snow in mid-April and it will NOT be easy to reach the Bhrigu lake at that time. I would recommend you to shift your plan by a month. Go for the trek in Mid-May
@@Creedaz Thanks alot..Expecting more videos like this....
You're welcome bro. 🙂
Eating snow in the snowy mountains can lead to dehydration if you're not a pahadi!
Yeah, I know. I wasn't aware about it at that time
bro
put some music in the video to make it more enjoyable.... otherwise your videos are quite informative.....keep going
Definitely bro. Thank you very much for all your support 🙂
This was beautiful. But Why there were no-one else on the trail? People don't go for this trek in the Dec-March months? You went there in Feb or March?
No one hike on this slope of the mountain
@@Creedaz So people go to Bhrigu via some other route?
Yes, they go via Gulaba
@@Creedaz oh I see, Is 1st week of March a very good time to go for Bhrigu lake trek? Moreover, Do you also organise treks?
It will not be accessible in March. It can be done from May to November
Lmao, the other guy remindes me of Captain Jack Sparrow 😆
Indeed 🤣
Hi, it’s an awesome vlog..!
How will be the conditions in Chandratal around 19 to 24th May. We are going for Spiti bike trips and want to halt at Chandratal Camps.
Thanks in advance. Cheers !
I don't think that you guys will be able to go anywhere near Chandratal, as for the same you have to cross the Kunzum pass which will remain closed till end of May due to heavy snowfall this year. Even Rohtang is going to open a little late this year.
