Onroute to chandratal, a photo from Himachal Pradesh, North

Photographer's Note

the road on the right is going towards chandratal. situated in the lahaul and spiti region of the indian state of himachal pradesh, chandratal means the lake of moons. its was relatively an untraveresed destination, but recently i have seen the numbers go up dramatically. the photograph is taken near a place called baital, the last stopover before chandratal. from baital chandratal is about 15 kms. we were lucky enough to drive our car till the very end. but the roads are very bad and one needs to be an excellent mountain driver to drive here.see for more details

Hi Yogeshwar
I had no idea that one can drive all the way to chandratal right now .... I guess it would have given the tourism quite a boost ... but i wonder if they are going to take some measures to protect this area from degradation too ....
neways thanks for posting \\
cheers .... sarju
