Very beautiful lake. Amid thickly forested serene hills is set one of the prettiest mountain lakes in India and the biggest in Himachal — Lake Renuka. At a height of 2,132 ft, it is home to thousands of fish, which they say swim fearlessly because of the gentleness of Renukaji, the area’s patron goddess. Check out hotels in Nahan also.
