Have they restricted entry to the lake, bro? I'm seeing orange flags and fences that weren't there before?

[Ramesh]

The lake is a holy spot, but it's been overrun by tourists. Authorities had to close it off because people were crowding right up to the water.

First, shout out to that guy who put up the JAI RISHI PARASHAR board, you village boy.

If we don't give cultural and religious spots a rustic touch, how will these idiots calm down?

[Amar]

Can I ride a bike from Mandi to the lake? Are there any places to stay overnight?

[Ajay]

Why does it look like the symbol of a covenant?

[Subhash]

That's just a pond.

Great photos, OP! Do you know the road condition from the Aut side? I'll be in Shangarh next week and plan a one‑day trip. Also, when did you visit and how was the weather? Was it raining then?
