About Chandra Taal Lake

Located in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh, Chandratal Lake, or "Moon Lake," is a magical place and is always included in the Spiti Valley packages. Situated at an altitude of 4,300 meters, the lake was historically a rest stop for traders and shepherds of the people who lived here.


There’s also a mythological story related to it, It is believed that Chandratal is the place where Lord Indra's chariot arrived to carry Yudhishthira, the eldest Pandava, to heaven after the battle of Kurukshetra. The lake is surrounded by tall mountains with snow all over it, so no doubt that the views you get are definitely going to be awesome. It’s no wonder that Chandratal Lake is a favourite destination of this package. One other reason why this place is famous is because of the camping and stargazing experience, amazing for astrophotography.
