Tour Details
Cuddled in the lap of mighty Dhauladhar and Pir-Panjal ranges of the Western Himalayas, the Thamsar Pass is a gateway to the Bara Bhangal village tucked in the blissful Kangra valley in Himachal Pradesh. Taking you into deeper ranges of Himalayas and offering tremendous scenic and untouched natural beauty, the trek still remains one of the very less travelled paths in the region. A tough gradient, remoteness and high altitude of the pass makes this trek a challenge for even the experienced trekkers. Commencing usually from Dharamshala, the trek takes you through treacherous and narrow trails, glacial beds, rocky moraines and gushing rivers. A breath-taking scenery awaits you at the Thamsar Pass from where the views of Kangra and Ravi valleys, meandering rivers and 360 degree panorama of snow-laden peaks hypnotize you with its undulating charm. Making your way forward on the route, passing through carpeted meadows, beds of alpine flowers and thick forests of pine, fur and birch, as you reach the stupendous Kalihani Pass, you will be taken aback with the enthralling views of huge hanging glaciers, glittering glacial lakes and snow-clad peaks of Pir-Panjal and Dhauladhar ranges. Once you reach vast meadow lands of Lamadugh and Riyali Thach on your trekking route, enchanting vistas of distant ‘Deo Tibba’, ‘Indrasan’ and ‘Hanuman Tibba’ peaks and valleys of Kullu and Manali soaked in multiple hues of seasonal flowers,are sure to make you speechless and astounded.
One of the most enjoyable and scenic treks in the Himachal region, the Thamsar Pass trek also gives you an opportunity to get an insight into the lives of local Gaddi people living in the high mountain regions. As you end your trek at Dharamshala, you also get a chance to explore the place’s Buddhist culture and visit the residence of Dalai Lama. For ardent trekkers and adventure enthusiasts, a successful trek to the Thamsar Pass is like a dream come true. If a dream to get on to this scenic adventure has also been boggling through your minds, just get on with your trekking gears and embark on this blissful and heavenly journey of lifetime.
