The Indrahar Pass Trek

Begins from the bustling town of McLeod Ganj, a hub for trekkers and spiritual seekers alike. On Day 1, the trek starts with a scenic ascent through oak and rhododendron forests to reach Triund, a beautiful ridge offering sweeping views of the Kangra Valley. After an overnight stay at Triund, Day 2 continues the journey upward towards the Laka Glacier Base Camp, passing through the famous Snowline Café. The trail becomes more rugged and remote, giving trekkers their first taste of alpine terrain.

On Day 3, the most challenging and rewarding section unfolds — an early morning climb to the Indrahar Pass, located at an altitude of 4,342 meters. The trail involves navigating boulder-strewn paths and occasional snow patches, but the panoramic views from the top — stretching across the Chamba Valley, Dhauladhar peaks, and far into the Himalayas — make every step worthwhile. After spending some time at the pass, the group descends back to camp near Laka Glacier or Lahesh Caves.

Finally, on Day 4, trekkers make their way down to McLeod Ganj, either retracing their steps via Triund or taking a more direct trail. The journey concludes with a deep sense of accomplishment and unforgettable memories of one of Himachal’s most iconic alpine adventures.
