The Route & Experience

Dehnasar is a majestic, sacred glacial lake perched precariously on a high mountain ridge dividing the Kullu and Kangra valleys. Far removed from the crowded trails of Prashar or Bhrigu, this trail demands stamina for sharp ridge ascents and rewards you with crystal-clear reflections of snow-crowned peaks.
