Itinerary

Day 01: Shimla – Charang

Reception at Shimla and drive up to Charang from Shimla. The scenery along the way is really beautiful and the winding roads pass through Kufri and Narkanda and lead us up to Charang village.  Explore the surrounding area and enjoy the backdrop view of the Phawrang peak ( 6050m) and Raacho aka Rangrik Rang mountain range.

Day 02: Charang

We start from Charang and trek up to Rangrik Monastery. It is a very beautiful and old monastery made out of mud and wood, and it is believed to be approximately 2000 years old. It is the perfect place to spend a relaxing time during the day while we acclimatize. We will be spending the night in either homestay or tented accommodation (depending on the client’s needs).

Day 03: Charang – Raacho Kanda

We head for Raacho Kanda from Charang. It is a quite moderate trek and we have to walk on loose rocks and moraines. Dinner and overnight stay in tents.

Day 04: Raacho Kanda – Raacho Glacier- Camping at Raacho Kanda

Today we trek up to Raacho Glacier. The climb is a little steep at places. We savor the views of Raacho Glacier and Rangrik Rang mountain. Finally, head back to the camping site and camp for the night.

  • Our guides are certified and have been trekking the Himalayas since their school days (all are local guides). They are well equipped and well versed with the terrain, route, the people and local culture.

  • Our guides are certified and have been trekking the Himalayas since their school days (all are local guides). They are well equipped and well versed with the terrain, route, the people and local culture.

  • The guides and porters are adequately trained and skilled in handling emergencies. You will get immediate first aid and all necessary help if required. In case of a medical emergency the porters & guides will carry you to a lower altitude and will contact the rescue authority.

  • When it comes to packing for a trek in an efficient way so that you have maximum flexibility with minimum weight, we advise trekkers to pack only what it essentially needed. Packing things that are not required will overburden porters & mules and hamper the probability of competing a high altitude trek like Lamkhaga.

  • There will be toilet tents. Our team digs a hole in the ground and then erects a toilet tent around it for privacy. We brief our guides to erect the toilet tent away from water sources and mountain streams, and on departure the next morning the hole will be filled and covered with dirt. We recommend that you always keep a roll of toilet paper and a hand sanitizer in your daypack.
