BEYOND TRIUND. INTO THE HIGHER DHAULADHAR.
A four-day journey from the wooded slopes above Bhagsu Nag to the rocky terrain of Indrahar Pass, with camping along the way and a return to McLeod Ganj.

Village paths, forest, the Triund ridge and higher rocky terrain.
Three camping nights, with the pass ascent as the demanding stage.
Local route support and arrangements discussed before departure.

KNOW THE ARRANGEMENTS
These arrangements reflect the current itinerary. Confirm the complete inclusions, exclusions and any additional requirements with the team before booking.
PREPARE FOR THE HIGHER ROUTE
Indrahar Pass is a challenging choice with rocky terrain, steep climbing and several walking days. Discuss your experience and current fitness with the guide. The pass stage is more demanding than an outing to Triund alone.
Confirm conditions for your specific dates. Snow, rain and access higher on the route can affect the pass attempt and campsite arrangements. Ask the team to explain the planned route and any changes needed for the season.
Request a route-specific packing list before departure. Bring suitable walking footwear, layers, rain protection, a headlamp and your personal trekking gear. Confirm how your equipment and luggage will be carried.
Follow the guide’s route advice, respect local villages and campsites, and bring your litter back down. Keep mountain water sources clean.
