Is it possible to do Beas kund trek in 2 days,

My itinerary is reaching manali on 26 may in the morning then starting the trek and camping. Then trekking to beas kund and spending some time then leaving back to Manali and fetch the bus at night is this possible.

I am very short on time.

Hi, so I’m planning to go on the Sar Pass Trek in late May. I’m confused about the equipment and what I should pack because I don’t really have an idea about this trek.Jackets,fleece jackets etc

Hey guys, I want to travel alone to some quiet place in india. In recent years, all travel places and treks became very crowded. Do you know any treks in Uttarakhand or Himachal that are known to very less people and we get to enjoy the nature and experience without feeling crowded?

Hello beautiful people of the sub. I am planning to join a group for any batch in the last week of May (probably starting 24th may). If not, i will probably do it alpine style with a guide. I am carrying my tent, sleeping bag to lohajung and will try to bargain a guide there to take me with a group or solo. Let me know if your dates matches mine and if you would like to tag along. Estimated cost would be around 10-15k Lohajung to lohanjung. But depends on lot of ad hoc factors. Also, If you have done this trek before, I would be more than happy and grateful if you could share your experience and/or any guide details with me :)

Roopkund has been a dream trek for me since childhood (perhaps since the first time IH documented it). I was very sad when I heard the government has banned camping due to a few mischief human actions. Over the last few years, I did Hampta Pass, KGL, Rupin Pass, Sar Pass and a few small DIYs like Kareri lake, Khaliya Top, etc one-two day hikes. Finally, this year I have decided returning to my long lost dream trek and although I dont find myself physically fit at the moment but I will give it a go, even if I reach Kelwa Vinayak, I will hope to find back the lost zeal and solitude.

Har Har Mahadev!

First time doing a long trek like Goechala. 8-9 days, and I’m told there’s nowhere to charge after the first day.

Need phone for pics + offline GPS, nothing else. Obviously keeping it on airplane mode, but Sikkim cold will probably murder the battery anyway.

What’s your setup? One 20k mAh power bank? Two?

Don’t want to end up with a dead phone on day 4 lol. What worked for you?

I will also carry a camera and I am worried about that too.

Hello guys, I'm a Software Engineer from Pune, planning for Hampta Pass Trek.

I was planning to do it in June, please suggest a good month where weather is good and no major blockers from the weather especially in Manali.

Also let's connect if you're interested to join

We are a group of six planning to go to Hampta Pass trek in early to mid sept. None of us have had trekking experience before.

There’s confusion regarding a couple of things.

1. Which company to book? Packages range from 5000 to 12,500. What is drastically unpleasant about the ones charging such low amount and what about the companies charging on the higher end? Need details on food and camps. What is the key difference.

2. What views to expect in September. Is there any rainfall? Or is it completely sunny? Snow patches?

3. A question which is very valid — Where to pee or poop? Toilet tents will be settled in the base camps right? How to manage nature’s call while on trail?

4. How many clothes do we actually need? I’m already “i might need this too” packer. I do not wanna overpack and carry heavy luggage all day.

I am planning to do my first solo major trekking in Hampta pass this season. Would like to hear about your suggestions, please help me out!

1. Which travel agency is good to choose for Hampta pass
   Trek?
   a) TreakUpIndia
   b) TrekkersOfIndia
   c) TrekTheHimalays
   d) IndiaHikers

2. Which is the good and safe month for trekking?

3. Anyone planning to travel from south and do the trek, please let me know maybe we could plan something!

Thanks in advance!
