Neelkanth In Lahaul

rishisood · Apr 22nd, 2008, 11:14

Hay folks,

Just wanted to know what would be the ideal time in terms of pictureque view to visit Neelkanth in particular and then in and around Lahual like gurughantal, the monesteries etc....

i think around Mid June would be a good time to Visit Lahul Valley. Regarding Neelkanth in Mid June you woudl need carry your own Food & Ford Sevral Nullahs enroute.
Otheerwise mid June is the best time for Lahul Valley

Hi Balvar,

I got to know that there is a motorable road for small 4 vehicles till nainghar(how many km its from here to the peak and number of days).So I want to know that if say I reach keylong on sunday and want to start the trek on Monday then can you please detail me the numbers of days and itenary keeping in mind that if I take the cab upto nainghar.and what if I dont take the cab.

Also it would be great if you can share your's itenary and if possible mention the distance and places.

Dear Rishi,

You are spot on there is motorable road right upto Nainghar Village. Although the Maps Available on web & Trek Details Suggets that there is road only upto to Chokhang Village. but the road is a newly developed one & semi Mettaled. Yeah if u reach kyelong on sunday , u can start the trek on Monday, No hassles wat so ever. But i9 think its better to camp in Nainghar on Sunday Night, & start the trek early nexy Day. From nainghar i dont know the Excact Km's for Neelkanth Peak or Lake, but its must be around 12 Kms form Nainghar. There is no steep ascent in the Whole trek upto Neelkanth. Except for about 2 Kms before the Lake. From Nainghar u walk upto alias,(midway of trek). you are most likely to come across a Gaddi(Sheperd) in alias. Then u make a turn right Towards the Valley. the trek is not very well marked but can still be done without a guide,IDeally the trek can be completed in two Days. Start from Nainghar, Camp along the lake for the Night & came back tomorrow. One more thing Girls are not allowed for this trek.

Jai Trilokinath and Congrats to You, Rishi. I was also in Himachal (Valley of Gods, Manali-Kullu) for more than a month.

Since you mentioned Trilokinath, it is a pilgrimage for both Hindu and Budhdhists. If I may add, "Pori mela" of Trilokinath held in the month of August is famous. Saat Dhara (seven rivers for which you trek few kilometers) is another attraction, as well as a lake near Trilokinath. Himachal is full of beauty and wonders.
