Kinnaur Treks

In Kinnaur there are some mild treks and some difficult ones going over some high-altitude passes. Routes in the Sutlej Valley can often be done without the help of porters. In other places you will need a porter and will have to camp out and have your own food. Porters can usually be hired in Rekong Peo and Rampur for around Rs 150 per day. In Sept/Oct during the harvest time they are more expensive and may be hard to find.

Sarahan to Wangtu Trek

This fairly easy trek begins near Sarahan and goes to the village of Chaura, where there is the Hirmal Devi Temple. On Day 2 you can go either to Tranda (8km) or another 9km to Paunda, where there is a rest house. The next day you go to the village of Sangra, where there is a rest house. At Wangtu you can get transportation back to Shimla or continue the trek to Kalpa.

Wangtu to Kaza Trek

This difficult trek goes over the Great Himalayan Range going over Shakar La Pass and then goes through the Pin Valley. You definitely need a good guide, proper equipment and porters. The guide should ideally be arranged with an established travel agency. On Day 1 you start at Wangtu and then go to Kafnoo village. On Day 3, going over Bhaba Pass (4860m) is a tough walk through snow. Day 4 brings you to the beautiful Pin Valley and then it takes three or four days to reach Kaza.

Kinner-Kailash Trek

To do this five to seven-day scenic trek you need to get an Inner Line permit. You first go to the village of Morang, which you get to by taking a bus from Rekong Peo or Tapri. You can then get a jeep to Thangi, from where the trek begins. On the second day it is a tough ascent to go over the Charagng La Pass (5260m).
