Chandratal Lake

The Moon Lake of Spiti — where silence reflects the sky.

Chandratal Lake

About Chandratal Lake

Spiti means 'The Middle Land' — wedged between India and Tibet at altitudes most travellers never reach. Ochre cliffs above 1,000-year-old monasteries, pastel villages stitched to impossible slopes, glacial Chandratal under unfiltered Milky Way skies. It's the slowest, quietest corner of Himachal — a 9-day loop from Manali (or Shimla) is the minimum to do it justice.

Key Highlights

  • Chandratal Lake — crescent-shaped, 14,100 ft
