Suraj Tal Lake
The
lake is situated in the Upper Himalayan Zone or High
Latitudinal Zone part of the Himalayas which has very sparse
population with climatic conditions akin to polar
conditions. Snowfall in this zone, though scanty, is
reported to be spread all round the year. Rainfall
precipitation is rare in the region.
Lahaul Spiti valley is common a destination for Indian and foreign tourists for road trips, trekking and motorcycling which cover the Lake and the Bara-lacha-la pass, en-route from Manali to Leh
How to get there
Suraj Tal is 65 km from Keylong, the
district headquarters of the Lahaul Spiti district, a
frontier district of India which is approachable by road by
the National Highway NH 21, also known as the Leh-Manali
Highway. The NH 21 is the vital road link for the people
living in the Lahaul Spiti district. The road skirts the
Suraj Tal and is just 3 km short of the Bara-lacha-la pass. 
It
remains inaccessible from Rohtang Pass to Leh during winter
months of November to April since the pass becomes totally
snowbound during this period.
"During winters it remains in the grip of a pall of ice untidy with lumps of frozen snow and jutting stones". But in the summer season this tarn comes back to its glorious charm, the deep blue of its icy waters reflecting craggy mountains and snowy heights.
