Indrahar Pass located at 4,342 m is an exquisite trek in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh. Trekatribe offers trekking to this enchanting pass in the months of July-September. To reach Indrahar Pass, one must first reach the Triund ridge. Triund (2,975 meters)- an extremely popular trekking spot- is the crown jewel of Dharamshala, situated in the laps of Dhauladhar mountains, it has the perfect view of the Dhauladhar mountains on one side and Kangra valley on the other. The trek to the snow-line is 3 km from Triund ridge and goes through a beautiful forest of oak, deodar, and rhododendron. Furthermore, this entire stretch is perfect for birdwatchers, as the forests here are literally swarming with various kinds of songbirds. Though it is rainy in July and August, trekking is still possible, and the meadow is lush green, presenting an out-of-this-world vista. From Triund, the trail to Indrahar Pass passes through snowline, Ilaqa Jot, and Lahesh caves. We might find some local shepherds (Gaddis) on the way, especially near Ilaqa Jot. It takes 4 hours to reach Indrahar Pass from Lahesh Caves, it involves a steep climb and is quite challenging. Indrahar Pass rewards with a beautiful view of the Pir Panjal Range in the North and the Manimahesh Kailash Peak (5656 m) in the East direction. Indrahar Pass connects Chamba and Kangra Valley and was used by local tribes to travel in the past. The Indrahar trek is surely an enriching experience for the body and the soul. Book yourself today for this heavenly trek in the Dhauladhar ranges.

Day 1

Time : 9:00 am

Mcleodganj - Triund

The starting point is McLeod Ganj, the home of the Dalai Lama, and from there, we begin our uphill journey. The entire trek uphill will take about 4-5 hours. The climb is easy with a few steep ascents here and there, with magnificent views giving you company throughout! Our first stop will be Triund. Get ready for some piping hot dinner to warm us against the strong evening winds at the ridge. Go to your camp bed with a happy tummy and a happier heart, surrounded by such picturesque vistas, ready to take on the next day's challenges.

Triund- Snow Line- Ilaqua Got

Today, our first stop will be Snowline (2 hours) from Triund.

Enjoy the spectacular view of the Dhauladhar ranges in front of your eyes from here. Dinner and night stay at camps.

Day 3

Snow Line- Triund - Mcleodganj

We start our hike to Indrahar Pass (4,350 m) early morning after breakfast. The first stop will be at Lahesh cave, which is at 3500 m, a natural rock cave shelter. We trek a little further from Lahesh cave to Chhatta Parao which is the bottom of Indrahar Pass, passing through the soft snow and icy streams! Indrahar Pass is a passway to Chamba Valley between Bharmour and Kwarsi. Once at the pass, we stop for 30 minutes to rest and listen to the sound of nature and connect with ourselves. We then descend back to Ilaqua Got (4 hours), followed by dinner and night stay in tents.

We wake up early to catch one of the best sunrises you will ever see, with the sun rays spilling over the snow-clad Dhauladhar Mountains.
