What is the highest altitude reached on the trek?

The high point of the trek is Lady Leg and the upper ridge at approximately 3,900 m (12,795 ft). Beas Kund lake itself sits in the basin below at approximately 3,700 m (12,140 ft).

Do we walk down to the lake shore?

The upper ridge viewpoint is the standard objective. A descent to the lake shore is attempted only when weather, snow conditions, water levels, group safety, and turnaround times allow it.

How long is the total trekking distance?

The 4-day route covers approximately 15–18 km, route-dependent, starting and ending at the Dhundi roadhead.

What are the best months for the Beas Kund Trek?

Mid-May to June offers snow patches on the upper ridge and vibrant valley streams. Mid-August to September provides lush green meadows, clearer skies, and sharp views of Hanuman Tibba and Friendship Peak.

Is there mobile network connectivity or charging on the trail?

Mobile network is limited or absent beyond Solang/Dhundi, and there is no electricity at high camps. Please bring a fully charged power bank.

What accommodation and sleeping gear is provided?

Peak Core India provides high-quality 4-season geodesic dome tents, insulated foam mattresses, and sub-zero rated sleeping bags with clean liners for all 3 camping nights.

Can I enter or swim in Beas Kund?

No. Beas Kund is the sacred origin of the River Beas and a fragile high-altitude alpine lake. Entering, bathing, or leaving waste near the water is strictly prohibited.

Beas Kund Trek

Trace the upper Beas Valley towards the pristine glacial origin where the river begins

Beas Kund packs a complete Himalayan story into four days. The journey begins close to Manali, follows the upper Beas Valley beyond Solang and Dhundi, then leaves the trees for meadow, boulder and snow country. The lake is an important destination, but the surrounding mountains are equally powerful: Friendship Peak, Shitidhar, Ladakhi Peak and Hanuman Tibba appear unusually close when the weather is clear. The summit-style day to Lady Leg and the upper ridge (3,900 m) brings the strongest altitude, steepest gradient and widest views across the Pir Panjal.
