Travelling with a passionate and knowledgeable guide (or in a small group), you'll trek through dense forest alive with chirr and and chilgoza pines.

Once you arrived at the campsite after the 4-hour hike, you’ll be welcomed with refreshing tea a lovely break after the trek. Dusk falls and the campsite becomes a snug retreat. Relax around a crackling bonfire, sharing stories and enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. Spend a night under a star-filled sky, free of city lights creating an unforgettable experience. Sit down in the warmth of your hot dinner by the bonfire and then rest in comfortable camps or huts, a lovely rustic experience in the lap of the mountains.Or fall asleep to the gentle sounds of nature, recharging your body and mind for the adventures to come. This day is the beginning of a beautiful trekk to make this trekk even more memorable this day has great combination of physical challenge along with natural beauty and to unwind.
Morning Bliss Start your day with a wholesome breakfast while looking at the beautiful sun over the Dhauladhar Ranges and Kangra Valley. It is a peaceful way to bid adieu to the aesthetics of Thatharana. Trek Back to Khrota Village. The return trek down, from summit to base (3-5 hours), winds you back through the rainforest trails, but seen this time from different angles, different perspectives of those breathtaking landscapes you have conquered on Day 1. The downward journey is buoyed with musings on the treks highlights and the bonds formed during the adventure. Khrota Village Arrival – End of your trek, back to the base.

EXCELLENT 668 reviews dhananjayan krishnamoorthy8 August 2024 **Triund Trek with Manu Adventures** We recently embarked on the Triund trek, organized by Manu Adventures, and it was an experience to remember. The trek, led by Rajat, was a moderate one, perfectly suited for both seasoned trekkers and beginners. The breathtaking views of the Dhauladhar range and the well-maintained trail made the journey enjoyable and rewarding. Manu Adventures did a commendable job in organizing the trek, ensuring that all basic amenities were taken care of. The stay was at a picturesque location, offering a comfortable and restful night . Rajat's leadership and knowledge of the terrain added an extra layer of safety and enjoyment to the trek. Overall, it was a well-organized trek, by Manu Adventures. Ranjit Kaur25 July 2024 Best company in India Eddie Smith27 June 2024 Could not fault this experience it's by far the best thing I've done in India so far. It was a good hike to Indraha pass, tough at times and demanded some good fitness and good mental fortitude. Manu was exceptional with the service he provided and how fast I was able to get a slot to go hiking (the next day). I did the 3 night 4 day package and that included a solid breakfast, packed lunch and cooked hot dinner in the evenings. My guide Shivam was a top bloke, very very good guide and hiker and felt incredibly safe when hiking some difficult passes with him. Always attentive and an all round top bloke. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Don't hesitate in booking onto this. Subash Anchalose21 June 2024 Excellent service.
