14 Best Treks in Himachal Pradesh, India

Himachal Pradesh is a popular tourist destination in northern India’s Himalayan region. It has beautiful mountain peaks, meadows, and resorts, as well as evident Buddhist temples and monasteries. Himachal Pradesh is a heaven for thrill seekers, with over 80 snow capped peaks such as Friendship Peak , Manirang, Parvati Parvat, Gushu, Thamsar, and many more. Sacred sites with local legends, camping near the river or over lush green meadows under a star-studded sky are just a few of the basic additions to an already existing trekker’s paradise.

Owing to its ease of access, Himachal Pradesh attracts a large number of mountaineers from all over the country and around the globe. Himachal’s easy-level treks, such as the Kheerganga, Triund and Beas Kund treks, are some of the popular starting points for many mountaineering beginners. Tourists typically transform into avid trekkers on these treks, wanting to experience their love for mountains now in a much broader sense. The famous sunrise of the tourist-friendly Triund Trek will undoubtedly entice visitors to return.

A naturalist’s paradise, the Himalayas in Himachal offer a diverse range of landscapes, vegetation, forest, alpine lakes, and meadows. The Dayara meadows, arguably one of the best in the country, take trekkers with surprise on the trails of Buran Ghati trek and Chandranahan Lake Trek . Sudden outburst of meadows encapsulating many small shepherd’s trails, galloping horses, and lush green color on the sidelines of hills after a long trail amidst dense forest is an unexpected visual treat. Typically, superficial trekkers are encouraged to traverse these paths and be better self-judges of what lies ahead of them.

Experience the best of both worlds from the treks of Hampta Pass, Bhaba Pass and Pin Parvati Pass. The trails of these treks provide a spectacular transition from lush green meadows on one side to the dry and barren lands of the Spiti Valley on the other. Some of the main highlights of treks passing through the Spiti Valley are not only the contrasting landscapes but also the differences in living cultures that trekker’s get to experience. From trailing among wheat and pea plantations to stacking architecture of monasteries, the Spiti Valley displays a remarkable potential in offering great experience to its explorers.

Trekking through the Himalayan Mountains is a one-of-a-kind spiritual journey, detailed with breathtaking vistas and gleaming golden peaks at sunrise and sunset. It is an inner-outer body experience in and of itself. Himachal offers a diverse range of treks and welcomes trekkers of all levels to visit its sites and rejuvenate in the warmth.

So, it is always advised to the trekkers to fully prepare themselves before planning a trekking adventure in Himachal Pradesh.

Some of the common challenges faced during treks in Himachal Pradesh are-

• Trek Fever is a very common problem. The weather keeps on changing in High- altitude mountains. You should always carry a proper first-aid kit to avoid flu, fever and cold issues.

11 best summer treks in Himachal Pradesh: easy to challenging

By Shradha Shahani

Himachal Pradesh is known as a trekker’s paradise for good reason. There’s something for everyone here. New to trekking? The two-day Triund Trek from Dharamshala is a great place to start. Have kids in tow? With spacious camps, the Tirthan Valley hike from Manali is ideal for families. Been there, done that and looking for a new challenge? The Parang-La trek to Lahaul will test your strength at every turn, but the views are equally rewarding. We spoke to three adventure travel companies—Aquaterra, Exsul Travel and India Hikes—to get their intel on some of the best summer hikes in Himachal Pradesh. Here’s the list.

Treks in Himachal Pradesh

Bara-bhangal trek.

Bara Bhangal trek. Photo: Aquaterra

Duration: 13 days; Level: Demanding; Highest point: 16,000ft; Starting point: Manali Look forward to campsites in meadows of wildflowers, lakes and sheep on this trek. Bara Bhangal is a secluded village in the Kangra district, and the trail—also known as the Shephard’s Trek—takes you through the beautiful Kalihani and Thamsar passes, traversing from Manali to Bir-Billing. The altitude is not the challenge here, all the campsites sit below 4,000m. But it’s constant scaling and descending that make the trek strenuous. The summer months of June-September are the only times you can go on this trek, as Bara-Bhangal receives heavy snow and is cut off during the winter. Book via Aquaterra.

In case of emergency, evacuation is also very difficult as the trails are too narrow to carry a stretcher, this is particularly worrying if someone suffers from AMS and needs medical attention quickly.

Beginning in Barsheni village in the Kullu valley, the trek connects the Parvato Valley (Kullu side) with the Pin Valley (Spiti side). The treks rugged mountains and high altitudes makes for a tricky climb.

When attempting the Pin Parvati Pass itself (around day 6), you will hike from Pin Parvati base camp to up the pass and back down to the base camp.

The pass is tough because of the altitude; however, the view of both the Pin Valley and Parvati Valley makes the climb worth it.

Accommodation:  You will camp most nights on the trek.

• The trail should not be attempted by those who are new trekking, prior experience at high altitude is essential.
• It is advisable not to do the hike too quickly. The harsh terrain, long distance and altitude gains make altitude sickness and fatigue problems common.
• It is recommended to include at least two buffer days in your itinerary, which can be used as acclimatization or rest days. Sometimes poor weather may delay you, and it’s also for this reason that buffer days are a good idea.
• Weather can change very quickly, and rain can make the rivers swell to the point of washing away the bridges crossing them.
