@flaterik its almost impossible to go and come back from Chandratal in one day, that's like over 30km of walking! There are tents at the lake usually, so why don't you just spend one night there, there is a awesome view in the mornings. The walk from Kunzum la is really nice as it climbs to thew top of the Kunzum mountain affording spectacular views. I estimate it would take longer than the walk from Batal though, as there is inevitably a bunch of snow to impede progress.

@voyager 18th u turn? wow you must have one heck of a memory!!

but as i heard, after 10th sep there are no more tents there,
so in this situation i will give up going to chandar tal,
i will save one day and maybe just come back to manali earlier,
i booked flight back from delhi, weather can be unpredictable so i think it's better to have some more time for coming back

You could drive to Chandratal, enroute manali, its only a couple of hours of detour, and if you start from Kaza early enough it should be possible to get to manali the same day.

Flaterik : Before go Chandertal lake and nearby, check the road and weather condition, Or be sure the tent accommodation is there at Lake, maybe full or No tent there, You can also stay om batal ( 12 km ),Last month i visit Lake, i lucky found free tent accommodation there , jut near lake.

Hey Voyager,

I did not know that there are two roads to Chandratal .. one through Batal and the other through the pass. Which is a better one to take. Is the second one (from Batal) properly marked out, or one has to really strain to find the cut ?
