Thatharana Trek: A Serene Himalayan Escape

The Thatharana Trek is a lesser-known gem nestled in the hills of Himachal Pradesh, perfect for those seeking peace and tranquility away from crowded tourist spots. This trek starts from the town of Dharamshala and takes you on a scenic 10 km route to the serene Thatharana village, located at an altitude of about 2,500 meters.

As you hike through the picturesque pine forests, the trail offers stunning views of the Dhauladhar mountain range and the beautiful Kangra valley. The route is relatively easy, making it suitable for beginners and families. Along the way, you’ll pass by charming local villages, vibrant meadows, and the occasional mountain stream, adding to the trek’s allure.

The best time to undertake the Thatharana Trek is during the summer months (April to June) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is pleasant and the surroundings are lush and green.

Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat, a chance to explore nature, or a new adventure, the Thatharana Trek offers a perfect escape into the heart of the Himalayas.

Itinerary

Day 1Kharota village to Thatharana campsite

Meet at Kharota village after breakfast (12 km from ISBT Dharamshala). Reach Kharota village, the starting site of the Thatharana trek. Start with a strenuous 3- to 4-hour climb through a thick forest of deodar, oak, and rhododendron. On the way, be sure to stop for a lunch break. Thatharana is reached after three hours of trekking through a beautiful highland meadow tucked directly on top of a ridge. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking, offering views of the Kangra Valley from an eagle’s eye perspective on one side and the stunning snow-capped Dhauladhar mountains on the other. For an overnight stay, set up your tents beneath the starry sky and relish a well-earned supper accompanied by soft music and a bonfire.

Day 2Thatharana to Kharota village

The taste of hot tea and a beautiful sunrise at Thatharana Trek will wake you up early. Eat breakfast. Take the same route back to the settlement of Kharota after leaving the campsite as you found it when you first arrived. When we get to Kharota, our guide will make arrangements for a taxi to take us to the McLeod market upon request (at an additional cost). Check-in at the Mcleodganj hotel (not included in the package) to have a change of clothes and some rest. Give yourself some alone time to explore and start moving forward with these wonderful memories from this weekend. After reaching Kharota village, the walk comes to an end.
