ITINERARY

Start the second day of the trek on a cheerful and happy note, waking up to a wonderful breakfast and calming scenery of the Triund meadows. After getting ready, we cover a short uphill climb to reach the beautiful destination of Laka Glacier which is presently a temporary camp for local shepherds. The glacier is located at the mouth of a smaller glacier. After having taken enough snaps of the beautiful glacier one should make their way further up to reach the ancient and beautiful Lahesh Caves. After exploring the travellers return to the Laka Glacier camp for the night’s rest.

The third day is quite adventurous and the travel starts from Lahesh caves to the Chatta Parao which is a journey of approximately 12 km surrounded by eye-catching scenery. We start our journey early to achieve the long and tiresome climb to the top of the Indrahar pass. The journey will be worth it when we finally make it to the top and experience the amazing and exotic overview of the pass. Observe the peaks of Pir-Panjal and the Manimahesh Kailash. After a short photography session and gazing at the enchanting views we start descending to Chatta Parao to avoid the wrath of the unpredictable climate.

The fourth day starts moving from Chatta Parao making one’s way through few snow bridges and finally entering the Kuarsi Valley. The long walk is worth due to the beautiful accompanying sceneries and views. One should make themselves rested for the day after reaching Kuarsi Village which is actually the first village of the Chamba Valley encountered after making one’s way through the pass. With the growing technologies and improved cultures, this village still holds the essence of traditional values and ancient customs. One will enjoy a delicious dinner at the village and a thrilling camp night.

Start the final day with a satisfying breakfast and morning tea. We grab our bags and start descending to reach Lambu. Catching a local bus, we reach Chamba from Lambu. Move to the last destination of the Hilling Village and we end our journey and return home with memories made.
