PRASHAR LAKE TREK

Why Prashar Lake Trek?
Prashar Lake Located at an altitude of 2730 mtr, lies 49 km east of Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, India, with a three storied pagoda-like temple dedicated to the sage Prashar.The lake is considered sacred to the sage Parashara, who meditated here back then. The temple was built in the 13th century by Raja Bank Sen of Mandi in honor of the sage and thus, considering the Himachali architecture, the lake was named after him.It is believed that Sage Prashar meditated on the banks of this lake, hence it is named Prashar Lake. Bhima, one of the Pandava brothers, had created the lake, the story says. After the Kurukshetra / Mahabharat war, the Pandavas were returning with Lord Kamrunag. When they reached this place, Kamrunag loved the tranquil surroundings and decided to live here forever. So, Bheem (the strongest of the lot) rammed his elbow on one of the mountains and created a big dent in the land. This dent became Prashar Lake. So far no one has been able to find the depth of Parashar Lake. Locals say that once they have seen large trees drowning in water due to storm and that too without leaving any mark on the outer surface.
