About Laka Glacier

Laka Glacier which is also called Laka Got Glacier is the lowest altitude glacier in India and is situated on Dhauladhar Range in Himachal Pradesh. We get this glacier at just a height of 10000+ Feet. We reach this glacier with mere hiking of 13 km from well known Buddhist city Mc-Leodganj. Laka Glacier is also known as a snowline trek. Trekking to Laka glacier with Triund trek had got immense popularity in last few years because of overcrowded Triund, lack of snow on Triund trek and mesmerising view on Laka glacier trek.

About Triund Laka Glacier Trek

Triund Laka Glacier Trek or Snowline trek is considered as the easy Himalayan trek but ideal for those seeking Hassle-free and short trekking in the Himalayas. Triund Laka Glacier Trek is not so long and well-marked but a steep one, making it easy but equally thrilling.

At just a few Kilometers from Dharamshala as well as Mcleodganj, Tirund top offers breathtaking and picturesque views of the snow-laden Dhauladhar range and Kangra valley. As the sun bids adieu to trekkers in the evening, it turns the entire valley orange and offers perfect photo-shoot background. Moreover, a Bonfire beneath the dark sky dotted with billions of twinkling stars and silver mountains shining in the background is the warmest moment at the Laka glacier trek despite the chilled air. With colourful rhododendron, lush green meadows, ankle-deep snow and a view of snow-laden peaks, the Laka glacier trek offers everything a Himalayan trek has for its Hikers.
