Highlights
One of the most beautiful and versatile treks in India. It leads us over two high mountain passes from the Valley of the Gods, the Kullu Valley, into the Kangra Valley.
Wild mountain flowers, beautiful views, evergreen forest and lush pastures will delight us on this trek. In addition, it goes over mighty glaciers and again and again we will meet shepherds with their herds. Maybe we are lucky and can see deer or even bears. This trek is challenging and takes us to the remote village of Bara Banghal. It can only be reached after a two-day walk and has no road connection. Very few trekkers find their way here, as it can only be reached via two 4700 meter high passes.
This gives us a wonderful insight into the traditional way of life of the mountain people. During the summer months, the village community thrives on growing vegetables and taking care of their sheep.There is even a school here.
The trek ends in Dharamshala, the place where the Dalai Lama has his exiled government.
