For the lake that is mostly taken for granted., Lets just say ,, this lake is really down to earth..

The best time to visit Lulusar Lake is the beginning of summer as by the time summer passes, the lake would  loose much of the snow near its adjacent mountains. The best time is, therefore, from end of May to end of June. After June the lake will not have much snow, only the greenery will be seen. However, if you wish to see much greenry. then the best time to visit is from the mid of July till mid of September, as all of the snow will have melted and the lake will have lush green surroundings.
