Your journey begins early in the morning from Shimla. We drive through the beautiful apple orchards of Rohru and follow the Pabbar river deep into the mountains. Janglikh is the last roadhead and a stunning heritage village with traditional architecture. We'll spend the night in a cozy guesthouse or camp, soaking in the local culture before the trek starts.

Janglikh to Dayara Thach

The trek begins with a steady climb out of Janglikh village. We pass through thick forests of pine and oak that eventually open up into the vast, rolling meadows of Dayara Thach. In the winter and early spring, these meadows are often a white wonderland, offering a perfect setting for our first high-altitude camp.

Today we head deeper into the valley towards Litham Thach. The trail offers breathtaking views of the Gunas Pass and the towering peaks of the Dhauladhar range. We'll set up camp near the magnificent Chandranahan waterfall, which often stands frozen in winter, creating a dramatic and serene backdrop for our evening.

Litham Thach to Seven Glacial Ponds & Return

This is the most sacred and challenging day of the trek. We climb towards the Seven Glacial Ponds, the source of the Pabbar River. The fifth pond is the largest and most spectacular, nestled in a giant glacial bowl. After exploring these pristine turquoise waters and taking in the spiritual energy of the mountains, we return to the comfort of our camp at Litham Thach.
