If you’re an outdoor enthusiast looking for an easy yet picturesque trail, the Ranu Sui Lake Trek is definitely worth considering. The trek starts from the old village Shangchar and leads to the stunning Rani Sui Lake, which is surrounded by lush green meadows and offers a 360-degree view of the Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar ranges.

One of the most striking features of this trek is the changing colors and hues of the cultivated multicolored fields below the valley, adding to the scenic beauty of the region. The trek is particularly pleasant during the summer months when the weather is mild, and the occasional calm winds make for an enjoyable trek. The flowers in bloom during this time also add a vibrant splash of color to the meadows’ lush greenery.

In winters, the region is covered with snow, and the weather is unpleasantly cold. However, the lake freezes in December, making for a unique experience. The ice is so thick that visitors can even walk on it without fear of the ice breaking.

The Ranu Sui Lake trek is a must-do for anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic trekking experience in the Indian Himalayas. So, pack your bags, put on your trekking shoes, and get ready to be mesmerized by the stunning views and natural beauty of this region.
