Chandra Taal (meaning the Lake of the Moon) Chandra Tal is situated in the Spiti part of the Lahul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh (India).[1] The name of the lake originates from its crescent shape.

Chandra Taal is a popular destination for trekkers and campers. The lake is accessible on foot from Batal as well as from Kunzum Pass from late May to early October.
