Barabhangal trek takes one from lush green Kullu valley to the stark landscape of Barabhangal mountain range. Two passes over 15,750 feet in route cut the area off from the rest of the world during most of the year. Every year shepherds from Kangra and Chamba valley follow this route to take their sheep and goats to graze in the meadows of Lahoul & Spiti valley, in actual it’s a shepherds trail. The alpine terrain between Kullu and Dharamshala is one of the most spectacular and little known region of the western Himalaya.

After leaving Manali, the first sign of any permanent habitation is the shepherd village of Barabhangal by the banks of the Ravi River, reached after exhilarating walking through pristine wilderness. En route, we cross the Kaliheni Pass at over 4350m. After a day of leisure at Barabhangal, we walk for another 05days to the road head at Bir crossing, the 5081m high Thamser Pass
