Himachal Pradesh is sitting in the lap of Himalayas and is a heaven for anyone who seeks to start a lifelong affair with the mountains. The best treks in Himachal offer the most unadulterated ways to explore the beauty of the state.

The best way to select a trail ideal for  trekking in Himachal , is by gauging your fitness level and prior experience. If you are a beginner, then stick with shorter treks. But don't mistake the duration of a route with its difficulty level. Trails, such as the one to Baralacha La has only three days of trekking but, due to the high-altitude, is of a higher difficulty gradient.

How well you experience of trekking in Himachal, depends entirely on what trek you pick. So, be careful before picking your next from the following treks in Himachal!

This is the list of the best  treks in Himachal . From 2 to 20 days long, from easy to extremely challenging. Take your pick.

So, it is always advised to the trekkers to fully prepare themselves before planning a trekking adventure in Himachal Pradesh.

Some of the common challenges faced during treks in Himachal Pradesh are-

  • We as trekkers are always excited to tread into the unknown terrains. During the trek we must have faced severe numbness and swelling in our toes. It Happens because we put a lot of pressure on our toes while climbing steep descents. Wearing extra compressed shoes also causes severe pain in the toes. Swelling may last for 4-5 months maximum but it is one of the most common challenges you face during and after trekking.
  • Caring heavy DSLR cameras is also one of the most common challenges while trekking in Himachal Pradesh. Nowadays we have good smartphones which can click amazing good quality pictures. So, carrying a Heavy DSLR camera with a heavy backpack will increase your problem.

Walking for long hours in very cold weather with less oxygen creates health issues. Be careful and take proper rest during and after treks. The more you relax your body the more you will enjoy your trek.
  • Trek Fever is a very common problem. The weather keeps on changing in High- altitude mountains. You should always carry a proper first-aid kit to avoid flu, fever and cold issues.
  • In excitement sometimes, we forget to slow down. Patience and perseverance are very important when you are trekking high mountains. Going too fast will only cause injuries and serious health problems.

11 best summer treks in Himachal Pradesh easy to challenging

Himachal Pradesh is known as a trekker’s paradise for good reason. There’s something for everyone here. New to trekking? The two-day Triund Trek from Dharamshala is a great place to start. Have kids in tow? With spacious camps, the Tirthan Valley hike from Manali is ideal for families. Been there, done that and looking for a new challenge? The Parang-La trek to Lahaul will test your strength at every turn, but the views are equally rewarding. We spoke to three adventure travel companies—Aquaterra, Exsul Travel and India Hikes—to get their intel on some of the best summer hikes in Himachal Pradesh. Here’s the list.

Bara Bhangal trek. Photo: Aquaterra

Duration: 13 days; Level: Demanding; Highest point: 16,000ft; Starting point: Manali Look forward to campsites in meadows of wildflowers, lakes and sheep on this trek. Bara Bhangal is a secluded village in the Kangra district, and the trail—also known as the Shephard’s Trek—takes you through the beautiful Kalihani and Thamsar passes, traversing from Manali to Bir-Billing. The altitude is not the challenge here, all the campsites sit below 4,000m. But it’s constant scaling and descending that make the trek strenuous. The summer months of June-September are the only times you can go on this trek, as Bara-Bhangal receives heavy snow and is cut off during the winter. Book via Aquaterra.

Deo Tibba trek

Deo Tibba in Manali.

Duration: 6-8days; Level: Moderate; Highest point: 14,000ft; Starting point: Jagatsukh (10km from Manali)

The Deo Tibba trek is a sight for sore eyes, especially during the months of May-June. The trek trails through dense forests of pine, spruce, oak and silver birches that don a bright green shade this time of the year. While you catch your breath through the moderately-challenging trail, stop and stare at the snow-capped mountains of Deo Tibba (6001m), Norbu Peak (5226m) and Jagatsukh Peak (5050m). At the foot of the Deo Tibba, you’ll be greeted by the emerald waters of the Chotta Chandratal Lake, and suddenly all the huffing and puffing will seem worth it. Book via Aquaterra .

Duration: 6 days; Level: Moderate; Highest point: 14,000ft; Starting point: Jobra (one-hour drive from Manali)

Himachal Pradesh has its very own Valley of Flowers. Around mid-July, the Kullu Valley is bathed in wildflowers. Getting to the pass is no easy task, though. After wading through a bed of flowers, you will need to scale many ledges, which may make you believe you’re close to the pass, but you never really know until you get there. The views make up for it—while one side of the pass overlooks lush landscapes, the other shows you Lahaul’s rugged terrain. July to September is the best time to go, but if you’re ready to brave the cold, June is a great time too. From day three on, you’ll trudge your way through snowy terrains until you reach Lahaul.

What a beautiful place to hike. I would love to go on one of these treks!

Yes, Michele! The place looks so dreamy for a hike.

What timing! I just found out today I was going to a wedding in this region later this year. I am so excited.

So happy to hear that, Emily. I bet you will be having the best time in India. Let me know if I could be of any help.

Some of these look so beautiful. I have yet to get to that part of the world…

Life is too short, get to every part of the world you wish to. I am trying hard for the same.

The snowcapped mountains on these hikes are spectacular! I live in the dessert, so I am used to dessert hiking. This is such a gorgeous change in scenery. Thanks for sharing!

I have never done desert hiking. It must be exciting.

Oh, such beautiful treks in the Himalayas. i love the snowcapped mountains. It must be so beautiful and enduring to make these treks.

The last time I saw such snowcapped mountains were in Europe… Innsbruck in particular 🙂

Don’t worry if you’ve only got the weekends, here are the top 5 treks in himachal pradesh that make for a perfect getaway in summers .

  • By Insta Himachal

Treks in Himachal Pradesh

Saans lo toh weekend Khatam ho jata hai ! That’s what everyone says but what’s interesting is, it is actually true. 

Some people like to use the weekend to go on adventures or do things that require a lot of planning (which are absolutely worth the effort), while others prefer to take it easy and do nothing in particular. 

Let’s make a weekend plan (just in case you don’t want to sleep and relax) that might ease off your pain. Here’s to the PERFECT PLAN!                 

Hike through scenic forests , get close personal with nature, and sleep under the stars in tents. It is always therapeutic to travel into nature; seeing new landscapes fosters mindfulness. 

Himachal Pradesh, a slice of heaven on earth , has a long list of adventurous treks like Buran Ghati Trek , Kugti Pass , and Pin Bhabha Valley Trek . It is not recommended to do these treks on weekends , but they can be adapted as long as you want to. As we’ve only got the weekends, there are short summer treks in Himachal Pradesh which are just as rewarding as the long ones. 

Experiencing a variety of landscapes and cultures on weekend treks in the mountains , spending time in small communities , and meeting the people who call these places home are all part of what makes exploring a place exciting. 

If we think long and hard, there will be a never-ending list of summer treks in Himachal Pradesh. This blog, on the other hand, offers you the Top 5 Trekking Destinations to enjoy in the summer season. You can choose to go on one of these treks on your own, with your friends, or even with your family.

NOTE- For some of these treks you may need to adjust your schedule accordingly. Make sure you take one or two extra days off near the weekend! It is always helpful when you decide to go on a trek. BUT if you don’t get any, good luck with your boss buddy! 

Top 5 Summer Treks to do in Himachal Pradesh

1. Bhrigu Lake Trek 2. Kareri Lake Trek 3. Prashar Lake trek 4. Kheerganga Trek 5. Churdhar Peak Trek

1. Bhrigu Lake

How about walking over an endless grassy carpet? One that isn’t artificial, though you have placed it on your balcony. Have you?

The Bhrigu Lake Trek attracts hikers due to the mythological nature of the lake . This trek lies in Himachal Pradesh, about 20-25 kilometres North of Manali , and can be accessed from Gulaba . It is the place where the Great Maharishi Bhrigu sat in deep meditation. And as the name suggests, you’ll meet a lake at the end of the trek. Even though the lake is beautiful, the trek has more to offer than just the lake. Its grasslands are worth the hike as well. It appears as if the grasslands are in an endless array of green dunes; perhaps even beyond.   

Imagine having such meadows right at your fingertips. It is no wonder that we go cuckoo bananas over places like Kashmir, Switzerland , which are full of landscapes like these.

There is a magnificent view of the Dhauladhar and Pir Panjal mountains ranges from these grassy knolls. 

The best time to do this trek is between July to September when the meadows are at their lushest green. It’s like you’re on cloud 9 that too having a garden. All and all Bhrigu Lake Trek is one of the best summer treks in Himachal Pradesh . Located just a few miles from Manali, it is a great trek for families and beginners alike. Duration – 4 Days and 3 Nights. 

Bhrigu Lake - Manali - Himachal Pradesh

2. Kareri Lake Trek

Kareri Lake is one of the best treks in Himachal Pradesh for a good reason. It has two entirely different landscapes and that is enough to take your breath away. The trek starts from Nolli bridge near Kareri Village which is around 10 km from Dharamshala . A few minutes of the trek you’ll find yourself in the dense forest dotted with pines and shrubs .

The Kareri Lake Trek is an excellent weekend adventure for those looking to steer clear of the more well-travelled trails of Himachal Pradesh . If you’re a newbie and want to trek, this definitely will be a great choice for you. Obviously not alone; groups will do best.

In the latter half, there’s another bridge made to cross the Nyund Nallah . It can be easily spotted as there’s a small shack that sells magic, bread omelette, and tea . In short, a good place to catch your breath before starting. As you continue the trek, the forests take a break and it’s the rocky grasslands along the banks of Nallah you’ll witness. A keen eye will recognize Himalayan Griffon Vultures hovering above. 

Once you’re at the top you’ll see a Temple Dedicated to Lord Shiva on one side of the lake and on the contrary there are the almighty Dhauladhars Covered in Snow . Absorb the beauty of the lake and click pictures from your mind if not cameras! The Best Time to do this Trek is from May to September .  Duration – 2 Days and 1 Night. 

Kareri Lake - Dharamshala - Himachal Pradesh

3. Prashar Lake Trek

The pristine blue Prashar lake , located in the Mandi District of Himachal Pradesh , is one of the most iconic Trekking Destinations in Himachal Pradesh . The lake is considered sacred to Prasher Rishi who meditated here years ago. And then in the 13th century , Raja Bansen built a Pagoda Style Temple to honour the sage. Hence it is Named Prashar Lake .

In the bowl-shaped valley of the Dhauladhar range , the Prashar Lake Trek takes you through dense forests and offers snow-capped mountain views , making it a surreal place in Himachal Pradesh. Additionally, Prashar Lake has a small circular island floating on its surface. As per the locals, there is no particular pattern to the movement – it could be in the same place for months, or it could move several times in one month. 

The trek to Prashar lake offers the best of both worlds: a short but exciting adventure as well as a closer connection with nature. The best part is yet to come. This trek can be done all year round, isn’t that good news? On top of that, it fits in perfectly with your long weekend plans & wanderlust fix as it is a short trip.  Duration- 2 Days and One Night. 

Prashar Lake - Mandi - Himachal Pradesh

4. Kheerganga Trek

This is one of the most beautiful weekend treks in Himachal Pradesh . Kheerganga is a site of spirituality, at its core, and the trail leading up to it is surrounded by immense natural beauty .  A bus or a cab can take you to Barshaini , the basecamp of the Kheerganga trek , from Kasol or Manikaran or direct from Bhuntar Airport – whichever is most convenient. From there, it is a short 11-12 km hike uphill. The trail can be completed in 5-6 hours easily, even if you stop for a meal or a break in the middle at one of the local cafes along the way. 

While on your way, you will pass a Shiva shrine at Rudranag Temple and the Small Village of Nakthan . Along the way, you’ll also see sprawling green pastures over rugged cliffs lined by Hot Springs . And once you’re up there, you can rejuvenate yourself by taking a dip in a natural hot pool called Parvati Kund . At night, marvel at the stars while you stay overnight in a tent.  The best time to do this trek is between May and November .  Duration- 2 Days and One Night.

5. Churdhar Trek

With an elevation of 12,000 feet , Churdhar Peak , the highest point of the Outer Himalayan Range , is located in the Sirmour District of Himachal. This region is also called Churi Chandni , meaning “mountains in bangles of snow” . One gets to see endless peaks and snow-capped ranges of Badrinath and Kedarnath . Churdhar trek is one of the fascinating summer treks in Himachal Pradesh . When the skies are clear, one gets to witness the peaks of Kedarnath, Badrinath, Shimla, Chail, Kufri, Kasauli, and even the Sutlej River Basin . Imagine what it would be like on the top? ‘Surreal’ is exactly not what we want to say. It’s indescribable.  

At its top is a giant sculpture of Lord Shiva enshrined in Shirgul Devta Temple , which holds great religious significance for the people (takes you back to the ancient times of Ramayana and Mahabharata ), but it also has considerable geographic significance. 

George Everest , the Surveyor-General of British India who is the inspiration behind the name Mount Everest , used Churdhar Peak during his tenure for sightings and astronomical measurements of many Himalayan mountains .  

Those who wish to trek to Churdhar Peak may do so from Nohradhar via Solan or Sarahan in Chaupal in the Shimla district . During the last hour of the trek, you will have to cross a steep moraine. However, the impressive view from the top is worth the effort.  The best time to do this trek is between April and November . Duration – Two Days and One Night. 

Churdhar Trek - Sirmour - Himachal

If trekking through these top summer trekking routes in Himachal is so wonderful, why wouldn’t you want to behold the winsome mountains, lush meadows, and sparkling rivers , which will certainly blow you away? There is no way you can disagree that Himachal Pradesh is the most sought-after destination not only in North India but in your heart as well. And we hope that this entire blog eased off your pain of where to plan your next trip in Himachal Pradesh . 

Wishing you a Happy journey. TOODLES!

Toddler from Bhopal becomes youngest girl in her age group to complete Mt Everest Base Camp trek

top treks in himachal pradesh

Bhopal, Mar 26 (PTI) Siddhi Mishra, aged two-and-a-half-years who hails from Bhopal, has become the youngest girl in her age category to complete the Mt Everest Base Camp trek, as per a statement issued on Tuesday.

Siddhi, along with her parents Bhavna Dehariya and Mahim Mishra, completed the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek on March 22, as per a certificate issued by Expedition Himalaya.Com Pvt. Ltd.

Notably, Siddhi's mother had scaled the world's highest mountain peak on May 22, 2019.

The toddler and her parents set out on the expedition on March 12 via Lukla in Nepal and completed the EBC trek after ten days, said Nabin Trital, managing director of the expedition company.

"Siddhi became the first child aged two-and-a-half years to complete the Everest Base Camp Trek with Expedition Himalaya," the statement said.

Everest Base Camp (EBC) is situated 5,364 metres above sea level.

Bhavna Dehariya said reaching EBC is not an easy task.

Bhavna, who hails from Chhindwara district in Madhya Pradesh, started scaling hills around her village Tamia since childhood and developed a passion for scaling peaks all over the globe.

"The Everest Base Camp is not as easy as it seems but Ginni (Siddhi) managed it really well and showcased complete passion for reaching the destination despite adverse weather conditions," Bhavna told PTI over the phone after reaching Kathmandu from EBC.

She said one of the most surprising elements at the base camp is the new landmark--a signboard welcoming visitors which featured the images of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. It is a graffiti-covered boulder that for years symbolised the official arrival at the base camp.

Standing against the backdrop of the landmark, Bhavna held the banner of Madhya Pradesh Government's "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao" campaign, while Siddhi displayed the National flag.

"Earlier, there was only a big rock with red letters mentioning "Everest Base Camp 5364 M," Bhavna added. PTI MAS NSK
