Bara Bhangal Trek Tour

Package Overview

Bara bhangal is one of the most remote villages of Himachal Pradesh. There is no road approach to this village and people of the village have to walk over high mountain pass for three to four days to reach the nearest road-head. People live here throughout the year with only few people migrating to the plains during the winter time. Bara Bhangal trek is very interesting as it involves an ascent to cross one pass, then a descent and a 2nd ascent to cross another pass and come across only one village and rest of the days we walk in the wilderness on high alpine pastures. The trail from Kullu Valley up to Kangra valley has a moderate level of difficulty and the trekkers are required to traverse across glaciers, dense cover of coniferous forests, meadows and rocky barren pieces of land. On each day of this trip, the trekkers are going to experience something different and something truly amazing. But for the trouble taken, it is a very fruitful trek for the people who are looking for isolated and in-tune-with-nature routes.
