Himachal Pradesh is sitting in the lap of Himalayas and is a heaven for anyone who seeks to start a lifelong affair with the mountains. The best treks in Himachal offer the most unadulterated ways to explore the beauty of the state.

The best way to select a trail ideal for  trekking in Himachal , is by gauging your fitness level and prior experience. If you are a beginner, then stick with shorter treks. But don't mistake the duration of a route with its difficulty level. Trails, such as the one to Baralacha La has only three days of trekking but, due to the high-altitude, is of a higher difficulty gradient.

How well you experience of trekking in Himachal, depends entirely on what trek you pick. So, be careful before picking your next from the following treks in Himachal!

With a giant statue of Lord Shiva at the top enshrined in Shirgul Devta Temple, the peak has great religious significance to the locals, but it also has immense geographical importance.

Due to its great vantage point, George Everest, the Surveyor-General of British India (1830-1843) and the inspiration behind the naming of Mount Everest, used Churdhar Peak to make sightings and astronomical measuring of several Himalayan peaks during his tenure. The trek to Churdhar Peak can be done either from Nohradhar via Solan or Sarahan in Chaupal district.

12.Karol Tibba Trek

  • Altitude: 6,900 ft
  • Start and endpoint: Chambaghat via Solan

solan valley

A shining jewel among the many easy to moderate treks in Himachal is the Karol Tibba Trek.

The route starts off with man-made brick roads, leads to grasslands, and gives way to a steep terrain through dense forests of deodar and pine.

As an icing on the cake, you will get to explore the first couple of hundred metres of the 25-km long Pandava Cave, believed to be the oldest and longest cave in the Himalayas. As per legends, this is the cave the Pandava brothers used to escape the burning Jatugriha. At the end of the walkthrough flourishing endemic flora, you will find yourself amidst the best sceneries Himachal has to offer. Expect to enjoy scintillating views of Solan, Shimla, and Churdhar Peak from the summit.

13.Hatu peak Trek

  • Altitude: 11,150 ft
  • Start and endpoint: Narkhanda via Shimla

hatu peak trek

Among the lesser-known but beautiful trails for trekking in Himachal , one is certainly the journey to Hatu Peak, a 1 day trek in Himachal. Surrounded by blankets of cedars, pines, firs, spruces, and deodars, and occasionally dotted with apple orchards, Hatu Peak is the second-highest in the entire district of Shimla.

The trek begins at Narkhanda, 63 km away from Shimla city, and therefore a perfect weekend getaway for the trek lovers. The 7-km uphill walk ends at Hatu Mata Temple at the top, dedicated to Queen Mandodari, wife of King Ravana from Ramayana. On your way, you will be greeted with the rustic beauty of the everyday Himachali life in the Gujjar settlements and grazing fields.

14.Shali Tibba trek

  • Altitude: 9,425 ft
  • Start and endpoint: Khatnol via Shimla

shali tibba trek

Shali Tibba is an extremely underrated trekking experience, given how it offers a 360-degree viewing experience from its summit. The trek begins from Khatnol located at a 45-km drive away from Shimla, and then leads through beautiful woods of blue pine and cedar. At the top of Shali Tibba stands an old temple dedicated to Goddess Kali, founded by the Raja of Faridkot in 1936.

On a day with a clear sky, almost the entire span of Himachal Himalayas can be seen from the Shali Tibba summit – the peaks of Kullu, Lahaul, Spiti, Chaupal, Sirmour, and even Kinnaur if you are lucky. A panorama click on the best DSLR camera will still fail to justify the absolute beauty of the view.

15.Moji Dugh Trek

  • Altitude: 10,500 ft
  • Start and endpoint: Kulang village via Manali

moji dugh

Moji Dugh is a perfect beginner’s trek near Manali that newbies to trekking can indulge in. It is usually an important campsite for the longer trek to Bhrigu Lake, but trekking to Moji Dugh itself can be a great weekend adventure. The walk starts from the village of Kulang located 20 minutes away from Ram Bagh Chowk in Manali. After following a trail of moderate gradient through pines, oaks, and deodars, you will reach the destination of a lush glade that is snow-white during winter but covered in an abundance of vivid wildflowers during spring and summer. Spend the night under a starlit sky and come downhill the next day following the trail via Vashisht – another popular trek destination in Himachal.

There is no dearth of opportunities when it comes to trekking in India , especially in the Himalayan circuits. But hidden between the bigger, more renowned trails are a few such gems which still hold on to the pristine beauty of the mountains, untarnished by growing footfalls.

Next time you are in Himachal Pradesh, find yourself a couple of days to take the road less travelled and explore some of these gorgeous trails Himalayas have to offer.

Indrahar Pass India

Photo by Himalayan Explorers

Indrahar is a pass in the Dhauladhar mountain range of Himalayas. The pass is at an altitude of 14 517ft above sea level, close to the town of Dharamshala.

The hike is a spectacular trek through awe-inspiring Himalayan ranges, and you will be exposed to beautiful lakes, gorges and forest along the way. The trek is considered to be one of the easier to moderate hikes in Himachal Pradesh. Beginning in McLeodganj, the trek makes its way to Triund, and this first bit is generally relatively easy.

From here you will journey to Lahesh Cave via Laka Got. The natural rock shelter that is Lahesh Cave is definitely a highlight of the trip.

The following day, you will hike up the Indrahar pass. This is probably the most technical part of the hike, with roughly 400m steep (1 312ft) climbing. However, the incredible view of the Pir Panjal Range makes it worthwhile. 

Accommodation:  The night prior and post the trek can be spent in hotels in McLeodganj and Chamba. During the trek you will stay in tents.

Top Trek Tips

  • You can hike with or without a guide, the choice is yours and comes down to your preference.
  • Although the water from glacial streams is clean, it is always advisable to boil water for purification purposes.
  • The last place to get food and water (with certainty) is Triund, so keep this in mind when planning your hike.
  • The pass may be covered in snow, and in this case trekking poles may be a good idea.

Triund Trek

  • Permit : No
  • Difficulty : Easy
  • Distance : 5.6 miles
  • Elevation Gain : 9 350ft
  • Days/Hours : 5 - 6 hours
  • Best Time to Go : March to June. However, the trek is accessible throughout the year with the acceptation of January and February, when heavy snowfall may cut off some sections. 

Himachal India

This is probably one of the easiest Himachal treks, being under 5.6 miles and taking roughly 5 hours. However, this doesn’t make the route any less spectacular, and it is known for being one of the most scenic.

Beginning in Dharamkot or McLeod Ganj, the hike offers amazing views of the Dhauladhar ranges and the Kangra valley, and throughout the day, from sunrise, sunset and even moonrise, amazing panoramic views are offered.

Although a short hike, there will be several steep climbs along the way, however the first 3.1 miles are easy, and it is only hereafter that the steepness increases. The final km is nicknamed “22 curves” as it consists of 22 curves enroute before reaching Triund.

Another exciting aspect of the undulating path is that it passes through forests of rhododendron and oak trees. The trek finishes in Bhagsu Village. As it is short and well-marked it is not necessary to use a guide for this trek.

Accommodation:  You can choose to stay in a hotel or pitch camp at McLeod Ganj. You can choose to do the hike in a single day or overnight in Triund, where you can either camp or stay in the guest house if you don’t want to.

  • Pack light, as this is one of the easiest and shortest hikes you won’t need much more than a  rain jacket , phone, snacks and water in a small  day pack . (if you are doing it in a day).
  • If you want to buy snacks buy them in McLeod Ganj as they are cheaper here.
  • Remember to wear proper  hiking shoes , you will be especially grateful on the descent.

Beginning in Barsheni village in the Kullu valley, the trek connects the Parvato Valley (Kullu side) with the Pin Valley (Spiti side). The treks rugged mountains and high altitudes makes for a tricky climb.

When attempting the Pin Parvati Pass itself (around day 6), you will hike from Pin Parvati base camp to up the pass and back down to the base camp.

The pass is tough because of the altitude; however, the view of both the Pin Valley and Parvati Valley makes the climb worth it.

Accommodation:  You will camp most nights on the trek.

  • It is advisable not to do the hike too quickly. The harsh terrain, long distance and altitude gains make altitude sickness and fatigue problems common.
  • It is recommended to include at least two buffer days in your itinerary, which can be used as acclimatization or rest days. Sometimes poor weather may delay you, and it’s also for this reason that buffer days are a good idea.
  • Weather can change very quickly, and rain can make the rivers swell to the point of washing away the bridges crossing them.

  • Tirthan Valley Trek: A Complete Guide For Budding Trekkers

While Himachal Pradesh is home to a vast collection of scintillating hill stations, some, over the past few years, have emerged as favorites for travellers with a wanderlust for the hills. As some hill stations become more popular, they also become more crowded. In fact, some well known hill stations have turned into the hilly replicas of metropolitan cities we routinely try to escape. Trekking paths are lined with tourists and littered with garbage. If you’re looking to avoid such an experience and really explore the awesome feeling of scaling a mountain in solitude, we’ve got the perfect destination for you- the Tirthan Valley Trek .

In this guide, you will find everything you need to know about this little explored before paying it a visit. But before that, if the promise of solitude hasn’t convinced you to visit Tirthan Valley, here are a few other reasons that might:

Why Visit Tirthan Valley

River running between mountains

To begin with, despite being an offbeat destination, Tirthan Valley is a well-populated areas within Himachal Pradesh. Getting to Tirthan Valley, and subsequently, getting around within the valley will never be a challenge. In other words, Tirthan Valley boasts everything you could need as a tourist visiting the area, sans the hoards of crowds that flock to the mountains every year.

Next, trekking in Tirthan Valley is big. The valley acts as a base for a number of treks including (but not limited to) Serolsar Lake trek, Jalori Pass Trek, and the numerous hikes and treks within the Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP).

That’s right, one of the most special things about Tirthan Valley is that it is the gateway of the Great Himalayan National Park, which in itself, is a whole other destination you can explore.

Additional Info: Tirthan Valley, as you may have guessed, gets its name thanks to the Tirthan River that flows through the valley. Experienced mountaineers can trek to the source of the river known as the Hanskund Peak or “Tirath”, which is at a height of 13,780 ft. The trek is roughly a 7-day affair and takes the adventurers through the GHNP.

Best Time To Visit

Like most places rich with natural beauty, Tirthan Valley offers a delightful experience to visitors throughout the year. Different seasons simply bring different charms and unlock different activities within the valley.

For instance, the April to June is the best time to go for trekking in Tirthan Valley. The days are moderately warm and the nights are pleasantly cool, with low chances of rainfall.

With that said, if you are a seasoned trekker, and love a good challenge as much as you love snow, Tirthan Valley should definitely be on your winter-trek bucket list.

Spring and Autumn colours are also extremely prevalent in the relevant months. Although, it is worth noting that these months attract light showers which can potentially mess with your plans of undertaking adventure activities such as trekking.

Additional Info: Just like the rest of the hilly Himachal Pradesh, traveling to Tirthan Valley is a bit unsafe during the monsoon months. The valley attracts heavy rainfall which is sometimes so intense that it becomes the cause for a landslide.

Best Hiking And Trekking In Tirthan Valley

Depending on the amount of days you can afford to stay in Tirthan Valley, there are a number of treks and hikes you can undertake. From day-long hikes to quaint mountain villages to challenging treks that stretch over days, Tirthan Valley has something for every kind of adventure enthusiasts.

1. Jalori Pass-Serolsar Lake Hike

The hike to Serolsar lake is an easy one and can be completed in under three hours. The starting point of the hike is Jalori Pass, which is about a 90 minute drive from Gushaini village in Tirthan Valley.

3. Jalori Pass-Raghupur Fort

trek to himachal

When you visit Jalori Pass (which is an absolute must), you will have two options. The first option, as already discussed is to visit the Serolsar Lake. The other option, which lies in the opposite direction, is to visit the ruins of the Raghupur Fort.

The hike distance is less than that of the hike to Serolsar Lake, but the ascent is much steeper. For experienced hikes, the time taken to complete the hike ranges between 2-3 hours. The views, however, are simply breathtaking. The ruins offer surreal views of the whole Tirthan Valley, which are well worth the effort that goes into conquering the challenging hike.

Tirthan valley and river

For those that are interested in a challenge, Tirath trek offers a superb one within Tirthan Valley. As the name suggests, the trek takes one to the source of the Tirath River that flows through Tirthan Valley. The trek is long and difficult one and takes about 8-9 days to complete. The good news is, the almost 30-kilometer long trail is dotted with beautiful campsites that make the whole affair a bit easier.

Tirath summit is located at a height of 12,319 feet and offers the real taste of the adventure offered by the Great Himalayan National Park.

Where To Stay

Raju’s orchard hut in Tirthan valley

As more locals are realising the tourism potential of their valley, more hotels, hostels, and homestays are popping up every day. With that said, the victorian-style cottages in Jibhi are one of the most preferred accommodations for tourists.

For those looking for cheaper options, the town of Banjar, which is also the biggest town in the valley, is a great place filled with several budget accommodation options.

Another great accommodation option is to stay at camps by the Tirthan river. Most such campsites are located within Gushaini. The best part about these campsites is that they include two meals in the room tariff. That means, for a few hundred extra, you get a breakfast and dinner included with your stay. Being right next to the river doesn’t hurt either.

If you want to stay next to the river and don’t mind splurging a bit extra for a better and more authentic Tirthan Valley experience, riverside homestays are a superb option. Although a bit expensive, these are, in most cases, well worth the extra charges.

While trekking, overnight stay will obviously be in camps. If you have your own camps, you can easily find a place to pitch them. However, for those who don’t own a tent yet, there are a number of local adventure companies that will make arrangements for you.

Additional Info: Some hikes within Tirthan Valley also have Government Forest guest houses that offer a cost effective alternative to living in tents. With that said, these guest houses have very limited accommodation space and its very easy to find one completely booked.

What To Pack

Trekking

As with any destination, what you pack with largely depend on the season you choose to visit Tirthan Valley. However, since the valley is at a height of 1600 meters, those coming from plains will need some sort of weather protection.

During summer, the day-time temperature looms between 20 and 30 degree-celsius and can drop below 10 degree-celsius at night. Regular summer clothes, along with a light layer of warm clothing works well in this season.

Winter-time is extremely cold and night temperatures regularly drop below zero. Even during the day, the temperature rarely surpasses the 10 degree celsius mark. Hence, if you’re travelling to Tirthan Valley during the winter seasons, make sure you pack some warm clothing that features some serious insulation.

Apart from that, it also makes sense to carry a pair of dependable hiking/trekking shoes as hiking/trekking is the most frequented activity in the valley. It is also a good idea to pack energy bars, flashlights, extra batteries, and umbrellas.

Additional Info: It is a good idea to carry some cash when you start from Delhi itself. While there are a few ATMs in Aut and on the way to Tirthan Valley, these aren’t very dependable.

How To Reach

As mentioned earlier, Tirthan Valley is a well-established and well-connected area. The valley is accessible by road and is about 31 kilometres off the main Delhi-Manali highway.

Reaching Tirthan Valley By Air

How To Reach Thekkady In December

The nearest airport to Tirthan Valley is the Bhuntar airport. The distance between Bhuntar airport and Tirthan Valley is about 50 kilometers and can be easily covered in local buses and cabs. If you’re visiting Tirthan on a flight, it pays to pay attention to the weather forecast as the accessibility to the airport can be easily interrupted by the volatile weather of Kullu.

Reaching Tirthan Valley By Road

trek to himachal

Travelling by road is perhaps the best way to reach Tirthan Valley. If you’re driving (or riding), reach the town of Mandi and keep driving towards Manali. After about 38 kilometers, right before the Aut tunnel, there is a road that diverts towards the small town of Larji. Turn right to take this road. After a pleasant drive of 30 kilometers, passing Larji and Banjar Valley, you will find yourself in Gurshaini, Tirthan Valley.

The most famous bus routes to the valley originate from Delhi and Chandigarh. In both the cases, travellers need to board the bus to Manali and deboard at Aut bus stop. From here, you can use the local bus service to reach Tirthan Valley. Cabs are also available at Aut, for travellers looking for a bit more comfort during their journey.

Additional Info: Taxis from Aut and Mandi will set you back by between 700 and 1000 rupees. On the other hand, local bus tickets from Aut to Tirthan Valley are priced under 100 bucks.

A Round-Up of All Current Treks: Latest Updates from Himachal, Kashmir, Uttarakhand

Category News

By Swathi Chatrapathy

After last week's heavy rains, the weather has relented this week. All trekkers are safe and largely carrying on with their treks as scheduled. Here is a region-wise update to keep you in the loop about all our current treks. 

Treks in Himachal Pradesh: 

Last week, Himachal Pradesh saw the worst of the rainfall. Many roads were blocked, rivers overflowed and campsites flooded. 

This week, we have good news. Our treks to Hampta Pass, Chandrakhani Pass, Bhrigu Lake, Miyar Valley, Pin Bhaba Pass, Bijli Mahadev, are all running as scheduled. In fact, just today, we have opened four more groups to Hampta Pass in September, to accommodate multiple requests from trekkers. 

As for the Beas Kund trek, Indiahikes took a safety call last week and diverted trekkers to Bhrigu Lake. Given that there are several river-side trails and campsites on the trek, we found it unsafe to head out to Beas Kund last week. Our team will conduct a recce of the trail this week, and take a final call on the upcoming group, based on the status of the trekking trail and campsites. 

The local administrative officials are issuing permits only at the very last minute, keeping a watchful eye on the weather forecast. But they have handed permissions for all groups starting this week. 

We will keep you constantly updated if there are any changes in the schedule. 

Treks in Jammu & Kashmir:

In continuation with the status of the past few weeks, officials are still not issuing permits to Tarsar Marsar, Nafran Valley, and Tulian Lake. They have requested time until tomorrow (August 7th) to reassess the safety situation in the region and issue permits for trekking in the region. 

Kashmir Great Lakes, Warwan Valley, Gurez Valley and Pir Panjal Lakes continue to run smoothly as scheduled. 

The Bodpathri Trek remains closed with no real signs of opening up in terms of permissions. 

We are expecting Brammah Valley to run as scheduled, given that is scheduled only from mid-September onwards. 

Treks in Uttarakhand:

In Uttarakhand, the Valley of Flowers trek continues to run smoothly, albeit with small weather disruptions. All of the treks have been running on schedule and trekkers are thoroughly enjoying the experience of trekking in the valley. 

We are looking forward to the next month , when at least 10 other treks open up in Uttarakhand. With lesser rainfall and clearer weather, it's going to be magical trekking with clear views of the Garhwal Himalayas.
