Indrahar Pass Trek, Mcleodganj

About Indrahar Pass :

Indrahar Pass is a mountain pass in the Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas. Located at an altitude of 4342 metres/14,245 ft above sea level, near the tourist town of Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh. Indrahar pass forms the border between Kangra and Chamba districts. The trek starts from the small Town, Mcleodganj, situated in the outskirts of Dharamshala and goes up to Indrahar Pass. The trail passes through the famous Triund, Ilaqapass and Lahesh Caves. The ridges over the Dhauladhar do not lend themselves to easy trekking. Trek to the Indrahar pass is no exception, even though it follows one of the more established trails used by the Gaddi shepherds enroute to their summer grazing pastures in the upper Ravi Valley and Lahaul. The ascent to the Indrahar Pass involves a continual climb often over gibber or boulders. In the south are spectacular views of the Indian plains; to the north are the sacred peak of Mani Mahesh Kailash and the snow capped Pir Panjal Range.

Each day was a treat, starting with a hot drink to our tent and ending with stories and laughter around the campfire. And the food!!! Just amazing to see what Indian delights came out to us each morning and evening.



And the trekking was fab as well !! The scenery was spectacular and the hiking through a variety of terrains was nicely paced. We walked through small villages, crossed rivers, traversed hillsides and climbed up and down steep mountain paths. Even had a dip in a Himalayan stream! The guides experience and local knowledge opened up a special and hidden world that we were so lucky to access. Manu and his brother Ranu were just so obliging and kind, nothing was ever too much trouble and everything was done with a generosity of spirit and wide smile. 



Two weeks later I am still full of the joy and colour of the experience and feel so refreshed by it. We were welcomed warmly into Manu’s family and treated like royalty. Not sure I’ll ever have another experience like it. Thank you Manu Adventures for the best holiday ever.

The meals were delicious throughout and it was just so good to taste such outstanding Indian cooking first hand (as well as some of the best porridge I have ever tasted in my life!). I cannot emphasise enough how much I enjoyed the actual trekking; the climbs, the descents, walking through lovely little villages, the friendliness of Manu and his team, the chatting and laughing with old and new friends and the absolutely breathtaking views with a new scene awaiting you at every turn – just mind blowing. I loved the evenings spent around campfires chatting about the day and there was nothing better than being woken up in the morning with a cup of hot drink from the team and anticipating the day of trekking ahead. Absolutely brilliant adventure which I so highly recommend – thank you Manu and your team for creating such fabulous memories.

Manu Adventures India with special mention to our guide Vivek, I would call it the perfect blend of professionalism and friendliness.
I went for 3 days and 2 nights trek to Kareri Lake. I went there with my father and sister. We were given … More a brief about the trek before the start of our trip along with all the minor details such as availability of rain cover, water and rising prices of items as we'll climb higher.
On day 1
Vivek(Our guide) who resides in Kareri Village took all three of us on a hike of about 12-13 km from Bhagsu Nag to his place. It was a home stay at his beautiful home on top of a mountain. It was a once in a lifetime experience along with the delicious home cooked food he provided us. Vivek was always helpful and available to us for all our needs.
On day 2
We left around 9 AM in the morning after our heavy breakfast including Paranthe, achar and tea. We started our Kareri lake trek today. And it was an amazing and tiresome journey to the top. We reached the top at 4 PM. We stopped on the way for our lunch and multiple short breaks. My father being 52 years old was going up at his own pace and Vivek was helping him along the whole journey. Reaching the summit, camping at night, sitting across bon fire are the moments you have to experience to know what they feel like.
Day 3
We started our descent at around 9:30. Vivek helped us book a cab from kareri to Mcloedganj at cheaper rates because of his links. We reached the end point by 1:30.
It was an amazing journey and being such a helpful guide as Vivek being backed by Manu Adventures was a delight.
I highly recommend them for treks all around Mcloedganj. You should definitely check them out as they provide the services that they charge for.
My family came back home with amazing memories and many new friends.

This trek was one of the highlights of our month in India. Our guide Ranji took wonderful care of us and made sure we were always comfy and having a great time.
It’s clear that the Manu team wants their guests to have fantastic adventures, … More and they excel in providing everything you need to tackle multiple nights up in the mountains above Dharamshala.
Also, the breakfasts/lunches/dinners/snacks/chai was fantastic.
Truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. If you want to see some of the most striking scenery on this earth with a team who cares, do yourself a favor and go on this trek.

It was wonderful experience, Very kind staff & the guide is also well trained & helpful. Tents are also really nice. Happy to book again with them for future trek.

We had an amazing time trekking to laka glacier! Manu was a great guide, he's a lot of fun and has so much knowledge about the area. Playing cricket at 3300metres was a highlight!
Ranu's campsite was really lovely, incredible … More views and tasty, hearty food!
Both Manu and Ranu took really good care of us and we'd really reccomend trekking with them, it's great value for money as well.

It was a fantastic experience we did the Indrahar pass with the help of the guide Shivam everything was perfect, not a trek suitable for everyone there is a lot of walking, but with an excellent guide and motivator as I found everything … More is possible Manu adventure suggested thanks🙏🏻

This was my first ever trek and it was amazing.
Special thanks to the guide Vivek who was very patient with our speed of trekking. He not only just guided us to climb the mountain but has also given an experience which we never had before … More like cutting wood for a bonfire from the jungle. He behaved like a friend rather than a guide.
Apart from that the arrangements and staff at the campsite were also very good.
Overall this made our trek an unforgettable one.

I have done triund-snowline- laka glacier trek with Manu adventures. Although the trek could not be completed due to heavy snow fall in the month of jan 23 but these guys have taken very good care of all of us. Some people are new and our … More guide Rohit literally helped them by holding their hands so that they could complete the trek. We are blessed to have Rohit bhai on this trek.
I am extremely happy with many adventures. Looking forward to do another trek with them.

Had a experience of life time with Manu adventures on the Laka glacier trek.
Was travelling with family and 12 yr old kids.
The camp facility was excellent with clean toilets and running water.
The tents & sleeping bags provided were … More quite good.
The food was basic but not much to complain.
The guide ‘Abhishek’ was friendly and flexible. For us as beginners and with kids I think he was very supportive and went out of the way to make the trek as much comfortable as possible and also exciting.
After the treks we had relaxing evenings at base camp with bonfire. Also celebrated Diwali with some crackers and music

I did a very nice and curated solo trek with Manu Adventures (3 days, 2 nights) around Kareri Village, Bal Village and of course Triund. Manu and his guides were very helpful and careful during the whole trek. All in all I'm very happy … More to have trusted them with the itinerary and trek planning; and I will keep wonderful memories of Dharamsala hills thanks to the team.
