It was an amazing experience, as i was so excited already for this trek and the beauty of this place did not disappointed me. It was too cold during the night, i could not sleep as sleeping bags was not enough warm. I would definitely recommend this trek but make sure you are prepare enough to survive in temperature -1 to -5 during the night, you can carry extra thermal wears if you are planning this trek between October -March.

Exciting trek to Laka Got Glacier. Seeing this place is just so amzing. I never thought even in dreams that such places could exist in India but it was just so good. We had two day trek-one day to Triund and another day to Laka glacier. There was a camp stay too and there the facilities were nicely arranged. Some of the beautiful places which fell on our way were Dhauladhar and Kangra mountain ranges and Lahesh Caves trail. Seeing these places was just out of this world. We camped for two days and both days were superb with a memorable dinner and a lot of laughter with friends. Our tour operator was also funny and friendly. It was a superb trip.

This was the first trek of my life and it was an experience that's roused a hunger for adventure in me that I never knew existed. The first night at Triund provided me sights of the night sky I had never seen. The view of Dharamshala and the entire Kangra district was absolutely breathtaking. On the second day, we trekked to Laka Glacier and since we had time remaining during the day, our guide took us all the way to Lahesh Cave and it was mesmerizing.

Super great trek! Two females and the food, location, and guides were extremely kind and knowledgeable! Thanks so much.

-Start walking every day for at least 30-45 minutes at a stretch
-Do a lot of cardio training focussed on your legs (Eg: cycling, swimming, squats and lunges)
-Climb stairs whenever you can
-Practise how to use walking poles to take the pressure of your knees and offer additional support

Also, keep in mind that if you travel between March to June, the entire area would be covered in snow. The snow starts to melt July onwards and it is also the monsoon season in the region. Taking into consideration all these factors, we suggest the below-mentioned gears that you should pack for your trip:
- Good trekking shoes, sports shoes aren’t enough

A well-trained and well-informed guide is essential for the trek so they could arrange for the necessary permits and guide you safely through the mountain terrains.
