Lamkhaga Pass Trek

We will have a sumptuous breakfast and start our trek. You are going to thoroughly enjoy the first day of your trek. Today will be the day to warm up for the upcoming journey. You will find a steep 3 km ascent after the first 1 km which is very easy. Today we will trek a short distance and camp nearby a small temple which is a prominent place of worship for the local people. The name of this temple is Lal Devta. People from the tribal village, Bagori worship their deity in this temple.

Our destination for today is Kyarkoti – a picturesque high altitude bugyal. The lush green alpine meadows of Kyarkoti are a mesmerising sight to witness. The path takes you through dense forests, gradual ascents and descents along with enchanting waterfalls which are a refreshing sight. However, this day is going to be challenging and you might need some equipment to traverse the narrow valley and the treacherous terrain. You can explore the meadows of Kyarkoti when we reach. The night skies over this area are clear and you can clearly see stars. The day ends with an overnight stay in tents.

This is the day we will cross the 4000-meter height and acclimatize to the high altitude. Relax on reaching the Sukatal campsite. Tomorrow, we have one of the most challenging days of this journey. Give your body the rest it needs. The day ends with an overnight stay in tents.

This is the highlight of the day. We are going to go to the Lamkhaga Pass base camp. This route will have tricky parts of boulders and you will need assistance and equipment. The climb at some parts is almost vertical. You will have to traverse through glaciers so be careful and enjoy the thrill of experiencing one of the remotest parts of Himalayas. The views you will get today will seem like right out of imagination. The day ends with an overnight stay in tents.

We will be crossing the Lamkhaga Pass today which is a legendary feat in itself. We will wake up early and leave the campsite after breakfast. This is going to be a long day with steep ascents and descents. The path is filled with boulders so watch your step. Walk with caution and enjoy the landscapes. The day ends with an overnight stay in tents.

Make sure you have a nice breakfast because you are going to need the energy. Today we are going to Naithal Thach. Thach means a meadow. We are going to descent and lose altitude. Watch your steps as you descend because controlling your speed while hiking down is essential. We will enter the Baspa valley by crossing the Baspa River. Today we will be entering the Kinnaur region of Himachal Pradesh. The day ends with an overnight stay in tents.

Today we will continue the descent and reach Ranikanda. You will find yourself in a landscape full of flowery meadows and lush forests. You will get to witness nature in its purest glory. The path takes you through waterfalls and gives you a glimpse of Himalayan flora and fauna. The day ends with an overnight stay in tents.

This is the last day of our adventure. We are going to trek or drive to Chitkul, which is also called the last Indian village in Kinnaur calley due to its proximity to the Indo-Tibet border. We started from Gangotri valley and ended up in the Baspa valley. This is a historic journey through a historic pass which cuts short the distance between Himachal and Uttarakhand by almost 400 Kilometres! You have completed one of the most challenging and rewarding expeditions. Congratulations!
