Mahal Naag Dal is a high altitude lake situated on the border of Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh and Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir. Altitude of Mahal Naag Lake is about 4240 meter. The lake is believed to be the abode of local deity Mahal Naag Devta and every year thousands of devotees from Churah valley of Chamba and Bhalesh area of Doda, visit this lake during an annual yatra to take the blessings of Mahal Naag Devta.
The lake is small in area and half of it is under a glacier for most of the time. You can see full lake in late August and September and that is why the pilgrimage is held during this time of the year. So it is the best time to visit this lake but you can also visit here from June to September.
You can trek to this lake either from Churah valley or from Bhalesh area. In this video I’ve shown the trek to this lake from Tarela village of Churah valley. I hope you’ll enjoy this video and it’ll be helpful for you guys to reach here. But if you any other information about this trek, please do ask in comments.
