FAQs

The Beas Kund Trek is considered an easy to moderate trek. Due to its short duration and gradual ascent, it is suitable for beginners as well as experienced trekkers. It is also a good option for families seeking a Himalayan adventure.

The best time to undertake the Beas Kund Trek is from May to October. During May and June, the meadows are lush green with blooming wildflowers. Post-monsoon months offer clear skies and stunning mountain views.

The trek offers breathtaking views of alpine meadows, glaciers, and prominent Himalayan peaks. The highlight is Beas Kund, a pristine glacial lake believed to be the source of the Beas River, surrounded by towering snow-clad mountains.

Although relatively easy, trekkers may encounter rocky terrain, gradual ascents, and high-altitude conditions near the final stretch. Proper acclimatization and steady pacing make the trek manageable.

The total trekking distance is approximately 18 km, usually completed over 4 days.

The maximum altitude of the trek is around 12,800 ft at Beas Kund.

The trek begins from Manali with a drive to Dhundi, followed by trekking towards Palchani Thach and further campsites.

The package typically includes accommodation in tents, all meals during the trek, professional trek leader and guides, support staff, camping equipment, medical assistance, permits, and transportation from the base location.

The trek is generally completed in 4 days, including travel from and back to Manali.

  • Day 1: Manali to Dhundi (Drive) and trek to Palchani Thach
  • Day 2: Palchani Thach to Lohali
  • Day 3: Lohali to Beas Kund and return to Lohali
  • Day 4: Lohali to Dhundi and drive back to Manali
