Chandratal Tour Package from Udaipur
Chandratal, nestled at 14,100 feet in Himachal Pradesh's Spiti Valley, is India's most mesmerizing high-altitude lake with pristine turquoise waters reflecting snow-capped peaks. This hidden gem attracts adventure seekers and nature lovers who trek through rhododendron forests and alpine meadows to reach this untouched paradise.
