Blue Beauty
As the name suggests, this ultra blue lake, lies amidst boulders and is worth spending few hours here. If you are an adrenaline junky, then a dip here should be on your bucket list. In summers its just a jeep ride of 10 mins from Satrangi Lake. In winters its frozen under tons of snow and is quite inaccessible due to depth of snow.
