Weekend Himalayan Treks: Triund, Kheerganga & Beas Kund
Got a weekend? Skip the city and head to the mountains. From the Triund sunset to the Kheerganga hot springs, these quick escapes are the perfect Himalayan fix.
The Triund trek is a classic for a reason. You get beautiful forest trails, friendly mountain dogs, and that unforgettable sunset view over the Dhauladhar range.
This is the view from the Triund campsite, perched on a ridge above a blanket of clouds. Waking up to this is an experience in itself.
This is what the Kheerganga trek is all about. Green meadows, grazing sheep, and a trail that takes you deep into the Parvati Valley.
The journey to Kheerganga starts at Barshaini and takes you along the scenic Parvati River. The sound of the water is your constant companion on the trail.
The Beas Kund trek offers some of the most dramatic alpine scenery. You walk through lush green valleys with massive, snow-capped peaks like Hanuman Tibba right in front of you.
The emerald green waters of Beas Kund, the glacial lake which is the source of the Beas River. Reaching this spot is a truly special moment.

The Kheerganga trail includes rustic bridges and steep sections that will test your stamina, but it's completely manageable for beginners with a bit of grit.

The trail to Triund is a rocky path that winds its way up the mountain. It's a steady climb that rewards you with better views at every turn.
About Weekend Getaways: Triund, Kheerganga & Beas Kund
These weekend treks aren't luxury walks in the park. You will sweat on the climb to Triund, and your legs will feel the 12km stretch to Kheerganga, but that is the deal. We set up the base camps, handle the vegetarian meals, and provide the guides so you don't have to worry about the logistics. Just bring a decent pair of shoes, warm layers, and be ready to carry your own water. If you can walk for a few hours, you can handle these trails.
Why Choose a Weekend Trek?
If you have two days and a pair of sturdy shoes, the Himalayas are closer than you think. Our weekend packages are designed to get you out of the city and into the wild without needing a long sabbatical.
The Trails We Cover
- Triund: The classic for a reason. You get a steady climb through oak and rhododendron forests that opens up to the Dhauladhar range. It is perfect for first-timers who want a sunset that beats any city rooftop.
- Kheerganga: This one is about the Parvati Valley vibe. The trail along the river is scenic, but the real reward is the hot springs at the top. It is about 12-14 km, so bring some grit and your favorite playlist.
- Beas Kund: If you want alpine meadows and massive glaciers without the technical expedition stress, this is it. It feels remote, and standing at the source of the Beas river is a solid, quiet win for any trekker.
