Rangthar Trek at Great Himalayan National Park

The Rangthar Trek in Great Himalayan National Park begins at Pekhri, which is accessible via an 8 km long winding road criss-crossing fruit orchards with numerous hairpin bends from Gushaini in Tirthan Valley. The pretty village of Lakcha with it's wooden houses is halfway on the non-stop uphill climb and the entire walk takes around 4-5 hours to reach the lovely green meadows at Rangthar. Our camps are surrounded by mountains on all sides and have an almost 300 degree view of the Himalayas. Shepherds come with their flocks of sheep and goat to make this a memorable reward for the sharp incline. Rangthar Top lies in the eco-zone of GHNP and is 7 kilometres from Pekhri and one does not require a permit for Rangthar.

This Trek is suitable for all year round.
