The Chamba Valley Trek via Indrahar Pass is a challenging and rewarding adventure that takes you from the bustling town of McLeodganj, through the majestic Dhauladhar range, and into the serene and picturesque Chamba Valley. This trek offers a unique combination of high-altitude passes, glacier crossings, and cultural immersion in remote villages. The journey begins with a steady ascent through dense forests, leading to the popular Triund campsite with its panoramic views of the surrounding peaks.
