What to Expect

Expect a 4-5 day trek covering 26-30 km. You'll walk through dense deodar forests, cross glacial streams, camp in meadows, and finally conquer a snow-covered pass. The trail offers panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, including Indrasan and Deo Tibba. The descent into Lahaul is stark and barren, a dramatic shift from the greenery of Kullu. Nights are cold, even in summer, with temperatures dropping below freezing. The trek is moderately challenging, with a mix of steep ascents and descents, and requires basic fitness.
