About Thamsar trek
Thamsar Pass Trek in Kangra Himachal is one of the most alluring passes in the Dhauladhar. Thamsar Pass is a gateway to the Bara Bhangal village tucked in the blissful Kangra valley in Himachal Pradesh. This trek still remains one of the very less travelled paths in the region and also known as Shepherd Trek. The trail offers trekkers to explore the life of Gaddi People, who are the natives of the valley. It is certainly one of the most delightful and picturesque treks in Dhauladhar Region.
A tough gradient, remoteness and high altitude of the pass makes this trek a challenge for all the trekkers.
