After an early breakfast (at 8 am approx.), leave for a hike to SEROLSER LAKE. Himachal Pradesh, with most of it lying in the lap of Himalayas, has an abundance of lakes.

The sun rays filtering through the tree cover, the blue of the sky through the foliage, the up and down of the trail, an occasional sight of a bird, a clearing showing the huge green vistas cascading down to the Sutluj valley, all of this and more will keep you an enchanting company all the way to the lake. The lake makes up in crystal clear clarity what it lacks in size. The local belief is that no one has ever found a leaf floating in the lake though leafy trees surround the lake itself. You will certainly not find a leaf floating in the lake. Nearby is a small temple beyond which the meadows start. A couple of teashops regularly come up between April-October. They have also some local sweets and savouries- worth trying. During summer a lot of Gujjars come with their buffaloes and cows to these pastures. It won’t be unusual if you bump into some carrying Khowa and paneer to the local market.

From Jalori, it is a level walk in the open for about hundred meters towards Satluj Valley before it heads straight into the forest on a well-defined trail. The trail passes through a dense forest of Oak and Rhododendron & eventually opens into a huge lush green meadow. Here the tree line finishes and we move into a lush green meadow. Enjoy 360 degrees view of The Himalayas, Dhauladhar and Kinnaur ranges, all of them in one sweeping glance & also see the luminance of an ancient fort.

All around you are swathes of lush green meadows that gently descend into the oak and blue fir forests.
The meadows also happen to be the favourite ground of local shepherds. It is a sight to behold with hundreds of sheep and goats munching around with not a worry in the world, with at least couple of shepherd dogs in attendance.
