Detailed overview of Indrahar Trek

Located at 4342 metres/14,245 ft, the Indrahar Pass is situated in one of Himalaya’s most famous mountain ranges- the Dhauladhar Mountain Range. The Indrahar Pass is located in a unique geological region, a major thrust zone of the Indian tectonic plates, i.e. where the pressure of the Indian tectonic plate pushing against the neighbouring Eurasian tectonic plate, is the strongest.

A mountain pass in the Dhauladhar ranges of the Himalayas at an altitude of 4,342 meters the Indrahar Pass is located near the tourist town of Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh. Indrahar Pass is an essential part of the popular trekking route from Dharamshala. Laying across the Dhauladhar ranges the Indrahar Pass brings the endless fascinating ranges of high, rocky ridges; and relative proximity to the plains of the Himalayas. The ridges over the Dhaula Dhar do not lend themselves to easy trekking. This trek over the Indrahar pass is no exception, even though it follows one of the most established trails used by the Gaddi shepherds en-route to their summer grazing pastures in the upper Ravi Valley and Lahaul. The Indrahar Pass trek is best carried out in the months of May to June and September to October when the weather is not affected by the annual monsoon showers.

 

Itinerary of Indrahar Trek

Day 1: Arrive at Mcleodganj- Trek to Triund via Galu Devta Temple

  • You will have to reach on your own at Mcleodganj base camp by 10:00 am where you will meet your hosts and be briefed about the trek and its key details.
  • Begin the trek from the village of either Bhagsunag or Dharamkot, both of which are near the hill town of McLeodganj. The path leads above the villages first to a temple, dedicated to Galu Devta – a local deity – and then it starts climbing.
  • Hike uphill through pristine forests of deodar trees, and see the mighty and almost-vertical mountains of the Dhauladhar Range.
  • Beyond the shrine, the trail rises rapidly and the hike becomes challenging and adventurous. Keep walking through forests of oak and rhododendron bushes on a ridge that is perpendicular to Triund – another ridge.
  • You will pass the latter landform and reach a grassy meadow to set up camps for an overnight stay.

Day 2: Trek from Triund to Laka Got

  • On Day 2, wake up and have a nice warm breakfast, and begin your short ascent from Triund and traverse a ridge to reach Laka Got – a temporary shepherd camp.
  • 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. So you will also have some activities on snow.
  • You will be staying overnight in the camp at Laka Got.

Day 3: Trek from Laka Got to Indrahar Pass

  • On the third day, start early in the morning as the weather might get worse in the afternoon.
  • In the early summer (April to May) the trail is full of snow and ice and it requires good equipment to trek on.
  • During post-monsoon (September to November) there is no snow or ice and there is a narrow trail going up to the pass.
  • It takes about three to four hours to reach the pass and another three hours to come down. From the pass entire Pir Panjal range of central Himalayas is a sight to behold.
  • After spending some time at the serene Indrahar Pass you will be returning back to Laka Got for the night stay.

Day 4: Trek from Laka Got ‐ Mcleodganj

  • On the 4th day, follow the same route to get back to Mcleodganj via Triund, although there might be alterations in the route depending on the snow.
  • If there is less snow then you will follow the same route which goes from Triund going over a grassy meadow and descends down to Mcleodganj.
  • During the evening, you all will board your respective buses to head on to the onward destination.

I had a great experience with Trodly and the people who I met during my trip. My guides Rajiv and Sameer were very supportive and entertaining, they made my journey so memorable. All the other team members were also very nice. My trip in Minkiani pass was the best moments of my life and thanks Trodly for making it so amazing!!!

The trekking instructors are amiable and helpful. The trek till Laka Got is of moderate difficulty, and the one after Laqa Got to Indrahar Pass involves steep climbs in snow-covered trails. Good trekking shoes will save you any day. The accommodation and food provided were also of decent quality. Overall, a wonderful experience that everyone should have once in their lifetime.
