According to se legends, on the end of Mahabharata, the Pandavas made their way with Dev Kamrunag to find a suitable place for their deity. They landed at the place where the lake is currently located. When the deity and Dev Kamrunag saw the place, they were enchanted by its beauty and decided to stay there for the rest of their lives.
On the request of Dev Kamrunag (based on whom this entire valley is known as Kamru Valley today), Bheem, one of the Pandavas, formed a lake in elliptical shape by pushing his forearm and elbow into the peak of the mountain.
Surrounded by dense forest, Prashar is a perfect place to reconnect yourself with nature.The entire amazing panorama of snowy mountain ranges is visible from this location. At the top of the valley, one can be surrounded by lash green spots with cows, lambs, horses grazing and small mud huts made by Gaddis and Gujjars.
