    Moon Peak Trek

    The trek to Moon Peak takes you up to a 15,100 feet tall summit on a short 6-day itinerary. The uphill trail takes you past the popular Triund Hill and onward into the mountains of the Dhauladhar range. You'll climb through dense forests and steep inclines, halting at vantage points that open up to beautiful vistas of the valley. A challenging trek in Himachal Pradesh, this trek to Moon Peak is best suited only for experienced trekkers.

    Destination

    The Moon Peak, at an altitude of almost 15,125 feet, is the most visible and towering landmark in the Dhauladhar mountain range. This trail leading to the summit offers a challenging trek with quite a steep gradient and curves. Littered with big boulders, the landscape changes drastically as you climb up from Triund's grassy meadows to the rocky Lahesh Caves. From the summit, you'll get exquisite views of the beautiful Kangra valley and snow-capped peaks of the Dhauladhar range.
