Overview
Beas Kund Trek Himachal has always been a famous trek around Manali. Eventually, it takes you to the source of the river that flows through the city. But one reason why trekkers love this trek is the setting. Lush meadows rise under the peaks of the three largest mountains around Manali. And hidden in these grasslands is the emerald lake from which the river Beas originates.
Nestled amidst the jagged mountain peaks of the Pir Panjal range, the serene view of this serene water body adds to its beauty.
