Baraadsar Lake is a relatively undiscovered trek in the Himalayas, sharing its base village, Sankri, with more popular trails like Har ki Dun, Bali Pass, and Rupin Pass.
Despite being less explored, the trek offers stunning views and lies on the border of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, nestled between the Rupin and Supin valleys.
The trail provides magnificent views of prominent peaks in the Garhwal range, including Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, and Black Peak.
Baraadsar Lake is considered sacred by locals, is believed to possess superpowers, and sits at an altitude of 4,600 meters, showcasing exceptionally clean and blue waters.
The lake remains hidden until trekkers cover substantial distances, climb significant elevations, and reach a point just 200 meters from the lake, unveiling its beauty.
The trek takes adventurers through picturesque meadows, brown oak, and pine forests, expansive clearings with breathtaking mountain vistas, and a ridge separating Rupin and Supin valleys.
A moderate-level trek, Baraadsar Lake Trek involves long distances and steep ascents, making prior Himalayan trekking experience beneficial to acclimate to higher altitudes.
Accessible in pre-monsoon (May and June) and post-monsoon (September and October) months, this offbeat trek offers a unique and less-trodden experience for trekking enthusiasts.
