Bhrigu Lake is a sacred high-altitude glacial lake perched at 14,100 feet in the Pir Panjal range near Manali, Himachal Pradesh, renowned for its pristine beauty and mythological significance in Hindu lore. Named after Sage Bhrigu, who is said to have meditated here, the lake changes colors throughout the day—from deep blue to emerald green—offering breathtaking panoramic views of Hanuman Tibba, Dhauladhar, and Pir Panjal peaks amid alpine meadows and snow patches.
