Chandratal Reflection. How to reach Chandratal. From Manali take a bus to Kaza, get off enroute at Batal, spend the night at a Dhaba and then trek 14kms next day to Chandratal. It is at
a height of 4,300 metres so always better to let body adjust to high altitude. OR take a Sumo from Manali 140 kms cost app Rs 10,000 says blogger Mridula D.
View of Chandratal from top. Tents are available there - so food and cover for night assured. Phones only BSNL might work.
