Prashar
Lake is named after the sage Prashar. Prashar Lake is around 50km from Mandi
District of Himachal Pradesh and approximately 102km from Manali via Kullu,
Bhuntar and Bajaura. It is said that Sage Prashar used to meditate near this
lake.
There is
three-storied temple of Sage Prashar which is also in Pagoda style. The main
attraction of the lake is the small floating island which rotates seasonally.
Lake is covered with fencing and nobody is allowed to ride over the floating
island except for the Deity “Shree Vardha Naag” who rides over the island during some the special case when it is stuck.
Beautiful mountain range of Manali and Bijli Mahadev are also visible from here. Every
year fair is organized here from 13th to 15th June and Deities from the surrounding
area make their presence. It is the most preferred picnic spot of school and
college students, families, and groups and even it is a trekking paradise for
the nature lover.
Parashar
Lake is easily cover in the same day, but if anybody wants to stay here, PWD and
Forest Guest House is available here and also can arrange accommodation at
nearby villages.
