About

Step into the untouched beauty of Himachal with this offbeat Yulla Kanda Trek, a perfect blend of scenic road journeys and high-altitude adventure in the remote region of Kinnaur.

Unlike crowded treks, this experience takes you deep into lesser-explored Himalayan landscapes—passing through charming villages, dense forests, and vast alpine meadows before reaching the stunning Yulla Kanda summit (12,779 ft). The highlight of the trek is the sacred lake and the world’s highest Krishna temple, making it a unique mix of adventure and spirituality.

The journey itself is equally mesmerizing, with drives along the Satluj River, views of dramatic mountain ranges, and visits to beautiful places like Shimla, Kalpa, and Sarahan. Camping under the stars and waking up to panoramic Himalayan views adds to the raw, immersive experience.

Designed for beginners with good fitness as well as adventure seekers, this trek offers the perfect escape from the usual tourist trails into the serene and unexplored side of Himachal.
