Trip Overview

Thamsar Pass Trek in Mandi Himachal is one of the most alluring passes in the Dhauladhar. It’s a must do to see the untouched and scenic natural beauty of the Dhualadhar Himalayas, as the trail is one of the less travelled trails in the region. Wander through verdant forest and breathtaking landscapes of Chhota Bhangal and pass through remote but beautiful villages of Barot, Badagran, Rajgundha and Kukkargandha. You will be stunned to see the lush meadows of Plachak and Panhartu. Few waterfalls on the way and the sight of those alpine flowers will leave you refreshed. Thamsar Pass connects the Chhota Bhangal to Bara Bhangal region and it’s one of the most enchanting experiences of trekking in Himachal Pradesh.

Thamsar Pass Trek will let you explore nature at its best and you get a chance to take an inside look at the Gaddi people’s lifestyle who are living a unique life amidst harsh situations and in rough terrains at such high altitude. The trek is not only known for its mesmerising beauty but also for its trekking trails with varying difficulty levels. One has to be tough mentally and physically to successfully overcome the various challenges on the trek. If you do it the right way, the trek can prove to be a life changing and an inspiring experience for you. Just keep going and hold the positive attitude till you come back home!

Nestled deep in the jungles of Pir Panjal and at the far end of the ancient village of Soil, by the banks of the feisty Haripur glacial stream, it is a heritage wood, stone and mud Himachali village home - the Kkoott. The wooden and mud home offers a cozy and comfortable village experience with the basic comfort amenities. The village of Soil enjoys a rich heritage and history and is an experience in itself.

The Kkoott faces the majestic Dhauladhar range and offers a complete Himalayan experience with its lush green forests and lost and hidden trails which meander through the thick jungles of pine and deodar. It is an amazing spot for birding and angling. You will find some rarest varieties of Himalayan birds and some fresh trout in the Haripur stream. Indulge in angling here as this is a renowned angling site. BBQ the catch of the day or just enjoy the sport.

 The Kkoott is also home to our canine army and the place is abuzz with energy and positivity. You can either stay in the village home or choose to pitch a tent in the apple orchard for a camping experience. If you wish, you can cook your meals in the old Himachali style kitchen, else the service will be provided to you. Catch up on some reading while chilling in a hammock or get lost in some hidden trails and find the mysterious waterfall hidden deep in the forest.

 The Kkoott is not just a place to stay but an experience and a feeling that can only be felt.
