Don’t know anything about the Lamadugh Trek? Imagine yourself sitting on top of a humongous rock that’s hanging mid-air. From here, you can clearly spot the entire Manali town sitting quietly at the foothills of the mountains. During winter, the entire town will be wrapped in icy blue coloured snow.
What a splendid scene it would be! That’s the kind of magic Lamadugh’s top gifts in your lap to witness and awe-inspire you. A chance to peek over the entire landscape of Manali, Hadimba temple and the Solang valley right in front of your eyes is nothing less than a bare glimpse of heaven on earth.
Lamadugh Trek is one of the best treks near Manali. It’s more than a single day hike or a sheer chance to wander in the wild. It’s a rare opportunity or chance to lose yourself in the maze of enchanting pine and deodar trees. The viridescent and vibrant large clearings of meadows, and a breath swaying views from the top.
Manali is a very charming hamlet perfect for someone who is looking for a quiet place with a pinch of an adventure. Lamadugh stands out in all the ways.
It starts with a normal sporadic stony ascent but gradually turns into a very steep and slippery trail with only you and your pals in the entire route. Lamadugh Trek is a place far-far away from anything like a bustling city across India. Every moment spent here will be etched in your memory forever!
The Lamadugh Trek route cuts through large forests and green lands with some rare sightings of birds and wildlife. Wish to pursue some astonishing pictures of rarest birds and hidden animals? Then the Lamadugh Manali Trek is a must-go trek for you!
The trek spans only up to 6 km one side. Yet, it offers you more than any weekend trek can. The weather during the expedition is very sporadic and unpredictable as it depends on the time you are visiting.
The atmosphere changes through different phases of the trek. Even in the not-so-wild winters, the route sometimes gets extremely foggy. The opaque clouds of mist float through you. Sometimes, the sun glares in between to make the atmosphere pleasant for you.
Old Manali is one of the most charming towns in the northern part of Himachal Pradesh. It is especially famous amongst the crazy community of backpackers and escapers.
Experience the Tibetan food in the local market, the thrill of paragliding and rafting, and the chance to visit Rohtang pass. Besides all of these things, don’t forget to visit Jogini falls and Hadimba temple. These things will make your Manali trip more memorable.
Above all, Manali trekking is an amazing way to escape the crowd of the city and go out alone. Treks in Manali such as Lamadugh Trek, Beas Kund trek, friendship peak trek and Hampta trek are few of those amazing treks which will take you through a road full of impulsive adventures, thrills and sceneries.
This is your time to convince your friends, pack your rucksack, and book a package that includes Lamadugh Trek Manali.

1-Day Itinerary
Here’s a one-day itinerary for your Lamadugh Trek:
Altitude: 6,730 ft to 9,900 ft
Trek: 12 km (6 – 8 hrs)
- You can choose to trek to Lamadugh any day during your Manali tourism plan. After you have settled in Manali, let us know when you would want to take on the expedition.
- Fill up all your bottles for the rest of the trek as you won’t have any point in between to refill the bottles.
- The trek will initially start with a wider stony route through dense forests of oak and deodar trees. Then you’ll have to walk through a very narrow and steep route.
- The speciality of the Lamadugh trek is its route through large clearings of lush green meadows and grasslands. At times, you shall find yourself alone with your friends in the entire landscape.
- Keep moving along and you will find a large rock in between the route. Here, you can rest for a while and even eat your meal.
- After you have rested well, start again and trek over the steep path. As you gain height, myriad peaks such as Indrasan, Deo Tibba and the Bara Shigri glacier will start opening up through the dense clouds.
- Finally, after an exhausting trek of 6 km on narrow lanes, you will reach the top of Lamadugh. On the top, you’ll find an ancient traditional abandoned temple sitting right there on the peak. It is also a place for all the trekkers to rest for a while and keep their belongings.
- The other thing is the magnificent view which you will observe from the summit. The astounding Dhauladhar range standing exactly in front of you and the beautiful clear skies will have you in awe.
- Apart from that, the best thing will be the massive bird eye view of the Manali town. Enjoy your leisure time playing games, singing songs, writing poems, or sleeping under a clear sky.
- After you have seeped in a sense of achievement and satisfaction, start trekking back. The trail is going to be the same. Try not making it very late as the moment night starts falling in, you will have troubles start creeping in. Head back safely and return to Moustache hostel.
