Laka Gletscher Trek Dharamshala: 3 Tage Himalaya-Abenteuer

We were a group of eight “corporate majdoors” hunting for a hygienic, premium trek. After 9 km, you deserve pampering and real food. Manu Adventures delivered more than we expected. Their staff were professional and efficient. Our trek lead, Anuj, was calm and confident, with 17 years of experience. Dinner had so much variety we joked we don’t get this much at home. Tents and gear were spotless. We came back happy, full, and impressed. In a crowded market, this is a gem. Highly recommended.

We are a family of 4 adults. We went on a three day trek from Bagsu to Triund, and continued up to snow line at Laka Glacier. The trail itself is comfortable though we felt more sure with the wonderful and patient guide that came with. The views are breathtaking from morning to night. Manu adventures provided us with great conditions and flexibility from start to end, and did everything for us to have a good experience.

My 4 friends and I had such an amazing time on this trek! The itinerary for ours was ~3000 meters up in 9km the first day, then trek 1/2 way down the second day, and all the way down the next morning! Manu was very helpful and attentive! He also had an amazing guide for us! When we flew in there was a driver to pick us up and take us to the Manu Adventures office. We then unpacked some of our heavy luggage and started the trek! The food was amazing and we were warm in our tents with the correct clothing. Make sure to bring layers as it gets pretty cold at night! Just as a heads up, the way up is relatively steep, so be sure your legs are in proper shape, and the way down can be rough on the knees. The views are so worth it!

Great exercise, fresh air and beautiful trek. Started out in town, ascended up the hill then eventually up the mountain. Mountain Ponies carried all the gear while we had light backpacks! Excellent tour guide host Manu. Participants Need to be physically prepared even for the Triund trek. Overnight stay in tent was excellent temperature very cold though we did our homework and kept warm. Food, company & experience to a great evel highly recommended to others .

Excellent experience. We had lots of fun. It is a beautiful walk with incredible views throughout the journey. Manu and the crew are super friendly, accommodating and professional. We were looked after with amazing meals and warm camping gear. Highly recommended. The walk is stunning and doing it with a professional guide like Manu will make your trip much easier.

We had an amazing time trekking to laka glacier! Manu was a great guide, he's a lot of fun and has so much knowledge about the area. Playing cricket at 3300metres was a highlight! Ranu's campsite was really lovely, incredible views and tasty, hearty food! Both Manu and Ranu took really good care of us and we'd really reccomend trekking with them, it's great value for money as well.

Amazing trek with amazing people! This trek was the first that my husband and I have done with a guide, and our future treks will never be the same! Everything during your time is taken care of, and all you need to do is enjoy the scenery and the workout! This experience includes a knowledgeable guide (we had Ranji), great meals, and everything you need to spend the night in the mountains! Tips for tourists from USA: - The purified water is great but my husband experienced some stomach issues, so try to stick to the mineral water bottles - Don’t worry about your bags, they’ll keep them safe in the office - If you have Ranji as your guide, he will make sure you’re safe the entire time, and will literally hold your hand if you need Bring: - Toilet paper - Cleansing wipes (there’s only a hose) - Hand sanitizer - Layers - Power bank for you phone, you probably won’t have internet access though - Flashlight - Eye mask for sleeping - Ear plugs in case other campers are loud - Money for tips and snacks along the trek - Sunscreen - Cards or games to play with others! The experience: First you’ll go into an office and be talked through your itinerary and what’s included. We really appreciated the transparency so we knew what to expect, which is really important when going trekking in a foreign country! We were then introduced to our guide, Ranji who immediately asked if we wanted him to carry anything which was so sweet! After we met him and got some hiking poles, we started our journey up to camp! The hike was beautiful and only took about an hour and a half. When we got to camp, Ranji made us some chai and set up our tent and sleeping bags. We spent the first night relaxing and walking around the camp area followed by snack time, a walk to a water source, dinner and a campfire. The next morning we woke up bright and early to go up to the snow line which was incredible! That was the entirety of day two and that was the best day ever! My husband did have some stomach issues this day though. When we got back, we played some games, had a wonderful dinner and went to sleep feeling accomplished. The next morning, we had a leisurely breakfast, said our goodbyes and made the hike back down to the office! In summary, we loved our experience and we made some great friends along our adventure!

This trek was one of the highlights of our month in India. Our guide Ranji took wonderful care of us and made sure we were always comfy and having a great time. It’s clear that the Manu team wants their guests to have fantastic adventures, and they excel in providing everything you need to tackle multiple nights up in the mountains above Dharamshala. Also, the breakfasts/lunches/dinners/snacks/chai was fantastic. Truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. If you want to see some of the most striking scenery on this earth with a team who cares, do yourself a favor and go on this trek.

The guides were really good. They took good care of us. The food was also good. We could ask for an omelette if we like. And many chai and ginger tea. About the trek : it was awesome with amazing views. We could go at our pace, with some stops on the way. The site for camping was also neat. Everything was furnished. And much proper than some tents we saw on the road up to Laka. You cant go wrong with manu adventures.

Manu and his are super organised and well trained unit. We had a wonderful experience on the trip. In fact I wish to add here that the staff and guides on the trip have taken utmost care and guided us efficiently at all levels. We had the trek along with our 11 yr old daughter and trust the incident management and hospitality were amazing. Treks are always having a surprise element due to un predictable weather conditions but manu adventures team are very well equipped with logistics and management to overcome and pass through such events. Will recommend people to please opt for this choice without an iota of doubt. Cheers. Abhishek Mathur.
