5 treks to try if you are a beginner in trekking


 

Hampta pass

 Take a look at one of the Valleys of Kullu and Lahaul's stunningly contrasting views. From the 14,100-foot Hampta Pass, it looks like a half-painted canvas. The Hampta Pass trail is a steep, rocky, and vertical ascent that rewards hikers with breathtaking views of high-altitude mountain lakes. Visit the stunning Chandratal Lake, which is surrounded by peaks and meadows, and immerse yourself in its tranquil beauty. The trail to the Hampta Pass is described as a pure Himachali trek because it passes through thick jungle with colourful wildflowers and steep inclines.

Kedartal trek

The Kedartal Trek takes you through some of Hinduism's most renowned mythological sites. This high-altitude Himalayan trek takes you to one of the most spectacular glacial lakes and gives you a view of Mt. Thalay Sagar. The Himalayan range's second most spectacular mountain. Camp near Kedartal Lake, the source of the Kedar Ganga, which is fed by Thalaysagar, Bhrigupanth, Meru, and many other surrounding peaks. The Kedar Ganga is famous for being Shiva's contribution to Bhagirath for his noble cause, according to Hindu legend. And, if listening to this does not move you, looking at the majesty of Kedartal Lake will.

Beas KundTrek

The Beas Kund Trek route takes you through vast open fields and lush green meadows. This high altitude mountain lake, named after the renowned sage Vyas (Beas River in Hindi), is surrounded by glaciers and lies about 20 kilometres from Beas Kund. The Beas Kund trek itinerary includes riverside camping in the middle of the meadows near the Beas river. A fantastic location for stargazing. And, as the seasons change in the valley, the beauty of the Beas Kund trail changes from green meadows to a white sheet of snow. During the winter, the entire valley is a recreation of the Kashmir Valley, complete with a trail through snow and to the frozen Beas Kund.

Valley of flowers  

Situated at a height of 14,107 ft. the valley of flower is one of the famous tourist sites. Equally famous internationally (especially Europeans), the Valley of Flowers has been declared as the World Heritage Site in 2020 by UNESCO and is one of the oldest trekking sites in India.

And, due to such a long drive, you will be taking several small halts or stops to acclimatize with the climate. As your body needs to adapt to the gradual change in the atmosphere as you drive upward to the Valley of Flower. Meanwhile, enjoy the refreshing views on the journey to your stay.
