Indrahar Pass Trek solo without guide | ਇੰਦ੍ਰਾਹਰ ਪਾਸ ਟਰੈੱਕ via Triund, Snowline and Ilaka.

Описание: I attempted the Indrahar pass, which is at the height of 4,360 meters, solo and without any guide. I started the trek on 24th May, 2024 from Gallu at around 8:50AM and trekked to Triund in 3 hours and 40 mins. After taking rest and spending some time at the beautiful Triund site for an hour, I started my trek further towards snowline cafe which took me two hours. After a quick break at snowline, I went further to Ilaka where I had planned to stay for the night at Dhauladhar cafe.

I reached Dhauladhar cafe at Ilaka around 4:30pm with last 30 mins of trek in heavy rainfall and hailstorms. After reaching there, I had tea and some snacks. The rain stopped after a while and revealed the beauty of the mighty Dhauladhar ranges in the backdrop. I changed into my night clothes in the camping tent and waited for dinner. At around 7pm, heavy rainfall and lightning started and within 10 mins, the tent had water seeping in. Other trekkers who were staying in tents there had same issue. In a few mins, everyone decided to abandon the tents and took shelter in the dhaba (cafe) structure. The rain kept on for a few hours due to which more than 15 people crammed up to sleep in the dhaba itself. Needless to say, I didn't have a good sleep which impacted my plans for the indrahar pass suummit the next day.

Next morning I woke up at 4AM for the pass summit push but had a heavy headache and I decided to take rest. I eventually left for the pass around 9Am and decided to go as far as I physically can. I managed to go near the lahesh cave (3450 metres) and then decided to return back. I then trekked all the way back to Mcleodganj the same day.

Although I couldn't reach the top of the pass, it was still a great experience and I felt accomplished to have reached the point all by myself. I returned with a resolve to reach the summit next time with full preparation.
