On the next day, you will need to start early to trek to the Bhrigu Lake and also descend by a trek as camping by the oval lake isn’t allowed. The altitude of Bhrigu Lake is approximately 14,100 ft. The to and fro trek from Rola Kholi to Bhrigu Lake and then to Rola Kholi lasts for 10 KM. This trail is exhilarating as well as beautiful because the rocky terrain is often covered in snow. Indrasen, Deo Tibba, and Hanuman Tibba peaks are easily visible when you reach the Bhrigu Lake. After you have finished looking around the beautiful scenery, you will need to start your trek back to the campsite. After that, you will need to trek down towards the Pandu Ropa hamlet and also through the village of Vasisth which contains sulphur hot springs and a 4000-year-old temple. You will have to spend the night at the Rola Kholi campsite.
