Overview
Indrahar Pass is a mountain pass in the Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas. Located at an altitude of 4342 meters/14,245 ft above mean sea level, near the tourist town of Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh. Indrahar pass forms the border between Kangra and Chamba districts. The trek starts from the small town, of Mcleodganj, situated on the outskirts of Dharamshala, and goes up to Indrahar Pass. The trail passes through the famous Triund, Ilaqa Pass, Laka Glacier, and Lahesh Caves. The ridges over the Dhauladhar do not lend themselves to easy trekking. Trek to the Indrahar pass is no exception, even though it follows one of the more established trails used by the Gaddi shepherds en-route to their summer grazing pastures in the upper Ravi Valley and Lahaul.

Day 3Triund to Laka Got (11,480 ft/ 7km
On this day, wake up early in the morning as the view from Triund is magnificent at this time. Take a deep breath and absorb the view of the mighty Dhauladhar ranges. After breakfast, start your trek to Laka Got. It takes around 3 to 4 hours to reach Laka Got. The first milestone in today’s trek is Snowline Cafe, which is around 2 km from Triund, and then comes Laka Got. From here, traverse a ridge to reach Laka Got. Laka Got is situated at the snout of a small glacier, which is full of snow and ice in early summer, and the snow melts away during the monsoon.
Meals: Breakfast and Dinner
Day 4Laka Got to Indrahar Pass (14,271 ft) / back to Laka Got/ (12 km)
Make sure you begin your trek early in the morning. The distance is the longest today and it is also the most difficult part of the entire trek. So be mentally prepared. The total distance for this day trek is around 12 km and it takes around 6 hours to reach the top, i.e., Indrahar Pass, and another 4 hours to come down to Ilaqa Pass. The route from Ilaqa Pass to Indrahar Pass is steep and completely uphill. The difficulty level varies from moderate to strenuous. There is no vegetation here and the terrain is mostly rocky. The trail leading towards Indrahar Pass from Lahesh Caves is a bit confusing as well. Make sure you have a guide with you. You can hire a guide from Mcleodganj or Triund. After reaching Indrahar Pass, spend some time there and experience a majestic view of higher ranges and valleys. Make sure you start descending soon enough to reach back by afternoon. Do an overnight stay at Laka Got.
Meals: Breakfast and Dinner
Day 5 Laka Got to McLeodganj (5,865 ft/ 16km)
Start trekking in the morning after breakfast and have your lunch at Triund. From Triund, take caution while coming down as the trail is rocky. You don’t want to slip and get your ankle twisted here. It is advised to trek at a normal pace. After reaching Mcleodganj, you can either explore Mcleodganj and its nearby places such as Bhagsunath waterfalls, Namgyal Monastery and Dal Lake or you can take an overnight direct bus to Delhi.
