The trek to Chandernahan lake at 4,200m is an adventurous trek in the Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh. The best time for this trek is in the month of Mid-April to Mid-October. Rohru is the nearest town from the base camp and the total length of the trek is 20km one-way. The Chandernahan lake is considered the point of origin of the Pabbar River and is located on the south-western slopes of the main Himalayas which lies to the north-west of Rohru in Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh. It is a highly revered lake for the inhabitants of the valley. The Devta’s devotees in this region consider the lake to be a sacred abode of Goddess Kali, who in turn is considered the caretaker of all the people living in the Rohru valley. The trek to Chandernahan takes you to a maximum altitude of around 4200 meters above sea level. From the village Tangnu, it takes nearly 10 hours trek to complete your journey to the lake. Enroute Chandernahan, you will reach Simbar Thach, Dayara Thach, and Litham Thach in between. The word "thach" in the pahadi language of Himachal means a meadow- a large plane area in hilly areas where goats and other animals use it for grazing. Similarly, the word "bugyal" is used for meadows in Uttarakhand. This tradition is almost ended now with modern day advancements but can still be seen here. In this beautiful Thach, you will definitely get the feel of a piece of heaven on Earth!
