Triund, Thatharana and Kareri Lake are the Dharamshala treks we get asked about most. How they compare on distance, difficulty, crowds and views.
Read article: Triund, Kareri Lake or Thatharana? Choosing a trek from DharamshalaEvery group goes with a certified guide from Himachal. Most of them grew up in villages along these trails.
We take 15 people at most, so the leader can keep an eye on everyone and the pace stays comfortable.
Permits, meals, tents and the leader are included in the price. Anything extra is listed on the trek page.
Good to know
Treks are run by Akshay Thakur, a local of Bharmour in Chamba district, with trek leaders from Himachal who know the trails, the weather and the villages.
Groups are capped at 15 people so the trail stays quiet and nobody gets left behind.
Triund is the easiest start: a two-day trek from McLeod Ganj to a ridge camp facing the Dhauladhar range. Kheerganga in the Parvati valley is another easy two-day option, and Kareri Lake or Hampta Pass make a good first multi-day trek.
Most high treks run from late May to early October. June and September to October usually give the clearest views; July and August bring monsoon rain on the Kullu side, while rain-shadow areas such as Lahaul and Spiti stay drier.
Depending on the route, treks start from Bharmour, Dharamshala and McLeod Ganj, Manali, Kasol or Shimla. Each trek page lists the pickup point and base camp.
No. Send an enquiry or message on WhatsApp and you will get availability and details first. There is no payment to enquire.
