You need to take care of the technique and usage of equipment while enjoying your sport.
• Enjoy Trekking at Bhrigu Lake Trek: Best recognised for trekking, this is a high-altitude meadow trek. The title of this lake is given with a testimonial to sage Maharishi Bhrigu.

Vistas of massive snow mountains and beautiful plains present an exceptional natural elegance to the surroundings of Bhrigu Lake. The lake is set at the backdrop of Dhauladhar & Pir Panjal mountain ranges that can hypnotise anyone. During the monsoon period, the sprouting of wildflowers in the grassland creates a luxurious green environment. The setting of the meadow is so that it apparently touches the horizon when seen from a hill. If your sole intention of visiting Manali is trekking then the Bhrigu Lake trek is most suitable in all sense. You would definitely appreciate the wilderness of mountainous meadows during your trek.
