The Renuka Lake (660 m) is regarded as the embodiment of Renukaji, the wife of the sage Jamadagini and the mother of Parshuram one of the ten Avtars of Lord Vishnu. Shaped like the profile of a woman, the lake has the circumference of 2.5 km and is the largest in Himachal.

This placid stretch of water is fed by underground springs and the surrounding hills are padded by lush forests that support a large variety of plant and animal life. Boating and trekking are the additional attractions of Renukaji, whose natural beauty has to be seen to be believed. This is perfect year-around destination that beckons every traveler.

HOTEL RENUKA: Himachal Tourism's Hotel Renuka rests on the bank of this sacred and breathtakingly beautiful lake. It commands a panoramic view of the lake with just a road dividing its terraced gardens from the waters.
