This trek follows one of the more established trails used by the Gaddi shepherds enroot their summer grazing pastures in the upper Ravi Valley and Lauhal. Whatever difficulty this trek throws your way, the spectacular views more than compensate for it. To the south there are mesmerizing views of the Indian plains ; to the north is the 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.

Day 1: Mcleodganj - Triund (2900m) - 9Km

Moderate

Time : 8:30 am

Day 02: Truind - Snow Line - Lahas Cave (3700m.) Triund.

This is perhaps one of the most challenging days of the trek. After breakfast we walk further up to Lahas cave which is a temporary shepherd campsite in the summer, situated at the tip of a small glacier. 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.

Moderate

Time : 8:30 am

Day 03: Triund - Mcleodganj

Take the same route on the way back or follow the grassy ridge which will lead to Bhagsu Nag Temple, after crossing a small waterfall on the way. Mcleodganj is only 1.5 Km from the Bhagsu Nag by road.
