The lake and the place is beautiful but it was half dried up in October when we visited. And even though the locals said the hike is 1 to 1.5km long, the road is quite steep and confusing so it takes a lot of time to climb up and down specially with elderly visitors.
While the place is peaceful and very beautiful, the lake is seasonal. It could be mostly dried up If there isn't rainfall in recent days. It would be wise to confirm the condition of the lake before start treking. It's a moderately tough more than 1 hour walk.
One of the beautiful lake in entire spiti district. Situated in Dhankar village. The altitude of this lake around 13580 ft from sea level. It's about 2.5 km distance from Dhankar new monastery. I went there on 24th June. I started trek around 1 pm and reached there around 2:30pm. Entire Trek route is well marked but the path is very narrow and steep. Due to this one should walk slowly during this trek and carry sufficient amount of water, biscuits, chocolates etc.
I was there around 1 hour. The lake is surrounded by snow covered mountains but that time some portion of lake was dry and remaining portion was sufficient amount of water and water is crystal clear. During my visit I was really excited about dhankar lake and i must said it's a must visit place. The surrounding is so beautiful lush green pin drop silence. Thos who want meditate it's a best place to do that.bThis is a holy lake and bathing is strictly prohibited in this lake. So those who visit Dhankar village they should try to visit Dhankar lake once. It's a must visit place.
We trekked to the top. It took us around 1 hr to reach the top. Can skip if u have done some good treks but still i wont say to miss
A beautiful, serene, peaceful place at altitude of 4100 mtrs. Dhankar lake is awesome. You have to take some efforts to reach here. Trek of around 2.5 kms from Dhankar village. Steep hill to be climbed to see this natural beauty.
Lovely place on top of the Dhankar village. A small trek to Dhankar lake gives refreshing experience. Start small trek in the morning. A 50-60 minutes Trek to a beautiful place. One can see snow covered mountain on all directions. This is a small lake, so enjoy a complete round around the lake, spend 30-45 minutes and return to Dhankar village. Go to ancient a monestry at Dhankar village and spend the relaxing evening.
The lake is hidden, which means you have to Trek. The distance for trekking is around 6km , which is not that much but the route to trek and because of high altitude it's tough to catch your breath. Go slow and keep yourself hydrated. 🫡 …
I don’t have words to define the beauty of this lake….I have seen many lakes but it is very unique and have spiritual values.
It is believed thar Lord Shiva had visited and stayed at this lake during his quest for lord Vishnu. While Lord Shiva was busy with his search, his attendant Nandi drank some water from the lake. As a reward for quenching the thirst of this beloved Nandi, Lord Shiva blessed the lake to be filled with plenty of water. Another myth has that Lord Indra asked Lord Shiva to make this barren land fertile.
However, since Shiva was busy with his quest, Lord Indra threw his ax here, and a spring popped up — leading to the formation of the lake. The festival of Mouni Amavasya celebrates the same myth.
It lake has a beautiful trek surrounded by snow capped mountain peak. It is worth going to this lake. Pls ensure that you should carry enough water and eatables. Also, don’t not throw any garbage during your trek. Thank you 🙏
