A stunning lake trek hidden in the nooks of the mountains near to Manali, Beas Kund is a delightful trek starting a little ahead of the popular tourist destination of Solang Valley. An easy trek deemed appropriate for independent trekking, the Beas Kund trek can be a lot of fun on group treks as well. There is a lush and plentiful thicket of dense coniferous forests to get lost into, populated with ancient deodar trees so high that you will be unable to look all the way to the top. Veering right out of the forest, one can find the lovely Beas River tumbling out in a tiny stream flowing in gushes underneath a wooden bridge. Intensifying and enriching the diversity of landscape on this trek more and more, there come the Dhundhi and Bakharthatch grasslands upon reaching Rola Kholi. To set up camp in these resplendent grasslands, with a rivulet flowing melodiously closely by is one of the loveliest highlights of this trek. In terms of towering mountain vistas too, the trek does not disappoint, with the sky-scraping high snow-clad Pir Panjal Range manifesting beyond the clouds. It is fascinating to hear about technical ascents made for Friendship Peak, Ladakhi Peak, and Hanuman Tibba which started from right here! Trek this trek also to discover the source of river Beas!
