Chandertal lake in month of September. when we went there
The road conditions are really bad after Rohtang, or I can say 10 -15 kms. Before Rohtang and specially after Battal.
purpose- suv, jeeps ,all are suitable .always carry extra replacement materials for any of your vehicle part may cut off it’s relation with you ;) in this bumpy ride full of solid sharpen rocks of mountain having no signs plants anywhere, only cold and dry causing you a lot of fatigue …
This is the tracking route when we leave our vehicles and start tracking or I can say a walk
But one thing is for sure guaranteed by me- all of your trek and journeys tiredness will be just gone after viewing the splendid beauty of chandertal lake . Even if the way is too rough but no match with the experience of being there :D….
You can go there from mid june till September lasts …I went there in the month of September.
This is the expression Ankit gave at reaching there
What to carry-
First of all most important some of the basic medicines
Something to eat- light, extra woolen, torch lights, wooden stick for walking camping materials if you seek for real fun and experience.
One thing is must – a bottle of rum , brandy to prevent you from cold ;)
If you have time don’t miss to watch the changing color of water. From red to orange , orange to blue , blue to emerald green.
At last my personal opinion –don’t drink during trek , serious advice if you want to play it safe…
And the real fun is staying at night in the camp with bottle which suits you ;)
