Overview

The Inderhara Pass Trek is a high-altitude Himalayan adventure designed around one ultimate goal, crossing the dramatic Inderhara Pass at an elevation of 4,300 meters. Set in the rugged Dhauladhar Range, this trek offers an authentic mountain experience that goes far beyond the popular trails of Himachal Pradesh. The journey begins from McLeod Ganj and steadily ascends through remote Gaddi tribal villages, dense alpine forests, and classic Himalayan meadows.

As trekkers move higher, the landscape transforms into stark glacial terrain, leading to high camps near Laka Glacier. The final ascent to Inderhara Pass involves steep snow and ice sections and may require rope support depending on conditions, making it a true test of endurance and skill. Reaching the top of the pass rewards trekkers with breathtaking panoramic views of towering Himalayan peaks and deep valleys stretching across the region. Ideal for experienced trekkers seeking a challenging and rewarding expedition, this trek combines cultural depth, technical adventure, and the unmatched thrill of standing atop one of the most impressive passes in the Dhauladhar range.

This is not just a trek - it’s a true Himalayan challenge.
Standing atop Inderhara Pass is a moment of triumph, reserved for trekkers who seek raw adventure beyond the ordinary.
