Located at an altitude of 2730 ft. This lake is incredibly outstanding and fascinating. We are allowed to see a beautiful sight with a temple beside the lake. Read further to know it's importance and how was it formed ?
HOW WAS IT FORMED ?
According to the Mythology, this lake was formed
when the Pandavas were on their way after Mahabharata with Deity Kamrunag ( based on which the entire valley is known Kamru Valley ) to find the best place for their teacher, Dev Kamrunag. The deity loved the isolation of this place so much and decided to stay here for rest of his life.
FACTS ABOUT PARASHAR LAKE...
- Do you know, on Dev Kamrunag's request Bheem one of the Pandava brothers formed the lake after pushing his elbow and forearm on the peak of the Mountain. And this is the reason why the depth of the oval-shaped lake is unknown...
- Do you know, It is said that many times during storms a 30 Metre - cedar tree would fall into the lake and disappear.
- Do you know, the special thing about this lake is that the patch of the grass on the lake moves from one side to other. In summers it is at one end. And at the time of Winters, it touches other side.
IT'S IMPORTANCE
The temple beside the lake is dedicated to the sage, Parashara and it is also believed that the sage meditated here for a quite long time.
OUR EXPERIENCE
It was a nice experience with chilly winds touching -1° Celcius Temperature. The hills very quite covered with snow which was itself a beautiful sight.
IN SHORT IT IS RECOMMENDED TO VISIT THIS LAKE IN WINTERS IF YOU WANT THE SNOW, SURROUNDING YOU. AND IS ALSO DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED IN SUMMERS IF YOU JUST WANT TO EXPERIENCE THIS BEAUTIFUL LAKE WITH MODERATE WEATHER
