Chenab Lake is a crystalline water lake situated in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, India. Perched at a high altitude, it remains relatively untouched by commercial tourism, offering pristine beauty and a serene environment. The lake is a result of the gradual melting of glaciers, which provides it a unique ecological character.

Once at the destination, the tranquil atmosphere and panoramic vistas of the Himalayas are bound to leave trekkers spellbound. The journey to the lake also goes through Auli, which is well-known for its ski resorts and natural beauty. Chenab Lake serves as a peaceful retreat for nature lovers, offering an opportunity for solitude and a chance to witness the raw beauty of the Himalayas up close.
