Serpentine Trail to Kundli Pass 4550m
As our last pre-winter Dhauladhar trek of 2021, Ravinder and I chose the rarely visited high pass of Kundli. At 4550m it is mostly used by the shepherds returning from Chamba to Kangra during autumn. Seldom by trekkers. It is a difficult pass with unclear trail marking above Shindi Maata temple (last camping ground of shepherds) on the Kangra side and hardly any trail at all on the Chamba side till you are well clear of the cliffs and reach the tree line. Please do this trek only if you are physically fit and with a guide who knows the trail well. During our 4 days trek in the final week of October, water was difficult to find. I recommend you finish this trek as any other Dhauladhar trek, positively before mid October. Our team comprised of four: Ravinder, Arun Khanna , Akshu (a young local boy) and self. We packed food for five days since the trek is of 4 days. Day 1 – Tangroti Khas – Kharota (1600m) by taxi. Kharota – Thatarna – Hoddi (2800m) trek. Total hiking time
