About this location
Renuka is Himachal Pradesh's largest natural lake, a horseshoe-shaped wetland wrapped in forested hills and steeped in local mythology. It's a gentler, lower-altitude counterpart to the state's high Himalayan reserves — resident waterfowl and forest birds rather than a major migratory spectacle.
