Prashar Lake near Mandi

January 30, 2009 2 Comments

Our all boys trip to Prashar lake. This was a trip with a mission to hoist national flag at Prashar Lake on 26th January 2009. These are the pics of Prashar Lake. Prashar Lake is a high-altitude lake located in the Mandi district, about 2730 metres above sea level. The road from Mandi to Prashar lake is in really a bad shape. But since we all were boys (men without families accompanying them), we enjoyed the rough drive. We expected to see snow at Prashar lake but were disappointed.

People at Prashar lake told us that usually there is 3-4 feet of snow during January. But this year there was absolutely no snowfall. Looks like there is an effect of recession on the mother nature too or is it alarming global warming effect.

As you can see in the pictures below, there is absolutely no snow in Prashar in winters. I never expected Prashar Lake to be like this in winters. When I saw images of this lake on google, I was really impressed to see the lake surrounded by snow clad mountains.

After a long rough drive and such a disappointment, the only good thing to have at Prashar was a cup of nice masala tea and maggie.

As per our plan, after resting for few mins we hoisted Indian National flag at Prashar Lake.

    Dear Friend,

    Thank you for writing this article on Prashar Lake and hoisting the Indian Flag on the Site where the Patriarch Saint Prashar meditated. For us Prashar’s it is holy place. Most of the Prashar Families including mine in Punjab, did not even know about it unil a few years ago when I found it on the web. As I visit my home in Punjab this December, I plan to visit Prashar Lake with a few of my family members.

    Thanks again for writing and thanks also for the photos. All the best to you …
