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.

I availed for the Laka Glacier trek packaged through Thrillophilia as I had heard positive reviews regarding the site from my friends before. The trek from Triund to Laka Glacier was one of the most memorable experiences so far. The scenic beauty of the snow-clad Himalayas was only enhanced by the top-class services provided by the team. The safety of the trekking team was kept top priority. The trek leader was extremely helpful and friendly.

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.

I felt it as a soulful trek. With all my heart and energy, I did it. Great landscape. Pure nature with fresh air. Only one with a good physical strength can do this trek. Staying up there gave me a lot of happiness which I can't express in words. Available food was maggi, rotis, etc. Luxury is not promised in terms of facilities. But in terms of experience, this is a must go trek. Rare flowers, rare wild animals, and a beautiful forest were the main attractions I came across.

My friend and I were looking for an appropriate Laka Glacier tour package, and chanced upon the deal in Thrillophilia while surfing online. Needless to say, we were immediately attracted by the price offer and decided to go forward with it. The tour did not disappoint us. The experience was fairly short, but extremely enjoyable and well managed. The staff was extremely supportive and friendly. The meals were wholesome and delicious.

The trek to Triund and Laka Glacier is considered extremely easy and suitable for amateur trekkers. However, if you haven’t ever been on a trek, we suggest:
-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
-Train with a backpack (preferably with the weight that you plan on carrying for your trek to Triund and Laka Glacier)
-Buy good trekking shoes (if you don’t have them already) and get used to wearing them
Yes. Trekking to Laka Glacier involves walking through some extremely steep paths and camping overnight in the mountains. 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:
-Strong trekking shoes, sports shoes aren’t enough
-Trekking pole
-LED headlamp/torch
-Fleece and wool jacket
-Rain gear (irrespective of the season)
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.
No, you shouldn’t. The trekking route to Triund and Laka Glacier is considered one of the smoothest routes despite the magnificent beauty and sense of exhilaration it offers. The trek is perfect for novice trekkers and doesn’t include any difficulty, except for a couple of kilometres towards the end. Even then, it is fairly easy. However, if you suffer from altitude sickness specifically, you should carry your prescribed medication.
Even though the trekking route is fairly easy, it is best to pack light but pack right. It is bound to feel cold when you are surrounded by the snowclad glaciers or when you camp at night. Aside from the special clothing and trekking gears, we suggest the following
-Backpack (30-40 litre)
-Water Bottle
-Dress in Layers – Head Cap, Warm Fleece, Waterproof Wind Cheater, Track pants, Warm socks
-Sun Caps, Sunscreen lotion (SPF 40+)
-Sun Glasses it should be U/V Protected
