Cave Clean Up Lahesh

CAVE CLEAN UP LAHESH During our first Indrahar Pass trek we noticed badly trashed vicinity and Lahesh Cave so decided to come back and clean up some of bit. Though our First attempt to Clean Up Lahesh Cave was success but still there were plenty of bottles stuffed around and we had planned our 2nd Lahesh Cave Clean Up drive by the end of 2013 but were barred due to sudden change in weather followed by snowstorm and hence 2nd drive was postponed till 2014. July 15th 2014, we conceptualized our second high mountain clean up drive.

Dehnasar Lake

 Dehnasar Lake of SHAKTI It is said that the form of SHAKTI Nature and the beloved of SHIVA, Mata Parvati comes to bath in Dehnasar Lake during Bhadon (भाद्रमास ) falling between August and September. Dehnasar Lake of SHAKTI I had thought at least this stretch up to the lake should be trash free, but it was not, for the civilized “pilgrims” throng here   The name of this lake has been mutilated in many forms like Danser Lake, Dancer Lake, Dainasar Lake, Danasur Lake! Situated at an approximate height of 4280 meters (14,040 ft) above MSL. Surrounded by high edgy cliffs of mighty Dhauladhar Mountains, this is one of the high mountain lakes just like Lam Dal, Nag Dal and others.
