About

A Great Himalayan crossing in the Dhauladhar area is called Indrahar Pass. At an elevation of 4342 meters/14,245 feet, in Himachal Pradesh, close to the popular tourist attraction of Dharamshala. The provinces of Kangra and Chamba are divided by the Indrahar pass. The trek starts at the quaint community of Mcleodganj, which is located outside of Dharamshala, and concludes at Indrahar Pass. The path passes by the well-known Triund, Ilaqa Pass, and Lahesh Caves. The Dhauladhar\'s slopes aren\'t very conducive to enjoyable trekking. The trek to the Indrahar pass is nothing like that, even though it follows one of the most well-known routes taken by Gaddi herders on way to their summertime herding meadows in the upper Ravi Valley and Lahaul. Although the route is straightforward and suited for both beginners and experienced hikers, getting to the Indrahar Pass requires a continuous climb over highly uneven terrain, requiring some stamina. From the south, it is possible to see the snow-capped summits of the Pir Panjal Range as well as the revered top of Mani Mahesh Kailash. Here is a full explanation of the temperature at Indrahar Pass. In fact, there is a little coating of snow on the mountains from January to April, and it gradually disappears until August. The Dhauladhar Mountain receives moisture from the rain, but as we ascend higher, the weather becomes largely agreeable, stunning, and sunny (12 to 20 degrees Celsius). At night, the temperature lowers below zero (-2 to 6) degrees Celsius. As a consequence, in September and October, hikers should anticipate excellent weather with some ice. As the month of October officially kicks off, daytime temperatures range from 12 to 18 degree Celsius, while overnight lows fall between -6- and -4-degree Celsius.
Today we start the trek from McLoedganj to Triund covering a total distance of 9 km. The Indrahar Pass trek goes through a mixed forest of oak, rhododendron and deodar trees. First two Kilometers of the trail is a steep ascent but there is a gradual ascent after Galu Devi Temple. The last 1 kilometer is again a steep ascent through the forest taking you to Triund which is a flat meadow on top of a ridge. From here panoramic view of Dhauladhar range on one side and Kangra valley on other is a memorable sight. We camp here for the night. Have dinner and retire for the night. Overnight in tents.
On this day, wake up early in the morning as the view from Triund is magnificent at this time. Take a deep breath and absorb the view of mighty Dhauladhar ranges shining through the mesmerizing sunrise. After breakfast, start your trek to Laka Got which will take around 3 to 4 hours to reach. The first milestone in today’s trek is Snowline Cafe, which is around 2 km from Triund and then comes Laka Got. From here, traverse a ridge to reach Laka Got. Laka Got is situated at the snout of a small glacier, which is full of snow and ice in early summer, and the snow melts away during the monsoon. This is our campsite for the night. Have dinner and retire early since tomorrow you will cross the Indrahar Pass. Overnight stay in tents.
Today we cross the mighty Indrahar Pass. Make sure you begin your trek early in the morning. The distance is the longest today and it is also the most difficult part of the entire trek. So be mentally prepared. The total distance for this day trek is around 12 km and it takes around 6 hours to reach the top, i.e., Indrahar Pass and another 4 hours to come down to Ilaqa Pass. The route from Ilaqa Pass to Indrahar Pass is steep and is completely uphill. The difficulty level varies from moderate to strenuous. There is no vegetation here and the terrain is mostly rocky. The trail leading towards Indrahar Pass from Lahesh Caves is a bit confusing as well. However, with an experienced guide, there will not be any problem. After reaching Indrahar Pass, spend some time there and experience a majestic view of higher ranges and valleys. Make sure you start descending soon enough in order to reach back by afternoon. Do an overnight stay at Laka Got.
Start trek in the morning after breakfast and have your lunch at Triund. From Triund, take caution while coming down as the trail is rocky. You don’t want to slip and get your ankle twisted here. It is advised to trek at a normal pace. After reaching Mcleodganj, you can either explore Mcleodganj and its nearby places such as Bhagsunath waterfalls, Namgyal Monastery, and Dal Lake or you can take an overnight direct bus to Delhi.
