Bara Bangal Trek Tour

Where is the Bara Bhangal Trek?

Bara Bhangal is one of the remotest villages in Himachal Pradesh. Because there is no road to this village, the residents must walk for three to four days over an elevated mountain pass. To reach the nearest road, it takes about three to four days. The village is pristine and isolated from the outside world. Only the Thamsar Pass will allow access to the village from June through October.

Bara Bhangal, also known as Shepherd Trek, is a difficult trek. Although it is difficult, the views along the way make it worthwhile. It takes you to the breathtaking landscape of Bara Bhangal Range.

This Bara Bhangal Trek itinerary is 11 Nights and 12 Day. It’s a great trek. This tour is ideal for adventure seekers who seek out beautiful, remote trekking trails. The tourists will be captivated by the unique experience of traversing the Indrasan and Bara Shingri glaciers. The main tourist attractions en route to Manali include Lama Dugh and Riyali Thach. This is the perfect tour to immerse yourself in nature’s beauty, in the midst a pleasant serenity or exquisiteness.
