This trek follows one of the well-established trails used by the Gaddi shepherds to reach their summer grazing pastures in the upper Ravi Valley and Lauhal. Despite any challenges encountered along the way, the breathtaking views more than make up for it. To the south, you will be treated to mesmerizing views of the Indian plains, while to the north, you will be greeted by the majestic Moon peak and the snow-capped Dhauladhar Mountains.

Lahesh Cave Trek is an ideal trekking route for adventurers who wish to explore beyond an easy one day trek to Triund. The trail to Lahesh caves is one of the most beautiful in the Himalayas. It offers an enthralling experience with breathtaking panoramic views of the Dhauladhars.

Lahesh Cave Trek is moderate when it comes to complexity. Therefore, it can be pursued by beginners who are willing to bend their backs in preparation. All that training would come through when making strides would be a requirement along with the tough phases of the trek. In the current blog, I will share with you my journey to the magnificent caves. I will also share with you the snags I had to face in the pursuit of this adventure.

There will be an opportunity to walk on the glacier to reach Lhes Cave, this is quite strenuous but well worth the effort. Lhes Cave is used as an overnight shelter by the shepherds travelling over the mountain with their sheep. We return to Triund for the overnight stay.
