About Beas Kund Trek:
Beas Kund is a high altitude lake that forms part of the Himachal Pradesh mountains and is one of the high points of trekking in India. The crystal still water of the lake is the source for the Beas River where Sage Vyas bathed between sessions of meditation. This gives you some idea of the stillness and purity you find trekking in the Himalayas.
Merely a few kilometres into the trail, ancient deodar trees climb high into the sky, developing a dense coniferous forest. If you crane your neck, they are so tall that you'll not be able to see the treetops. You can also spot oak, pine and maple trees.
The Beas Kund path supplies you close, base-to-summit views of big mountains of Manali like Mount Friendship, Shitidhar, Ladakhi and also Hanuman Tibba. On a clear day, you'll also be able to identify the peaks of Indrasen, Deo Tibba as well as more heights from the Pir Panjal array. Likewise, one will find the Beas Kund Glacier while progressing towards Beas Kund.
The surrounding areas bustle with animal life and the plants and trees that sustain them. It's not unusual to see ovine creatures like goats and sheep grazing on pastures dotted with flowers and fungi.
Beas Kund has constantly been a well-known trek around Manali. It takes you right to the origin of the river that streams with the town. (Yes, this is the exact same river that flowed in the contrary direction while you were taking your journey to Manali!).
This emerald kund branches off right into streams, toppling waterfalls right up until it merges directly into the steaming Beas river.
Our Beas Kund Trek will alternate periods of easy trekking with time in pastoral locations where you can take in the surroundings, take pictures and take a break for something to eat.
The two nights spent out on this Himalayan trekking experience will allow you to see the stars as never before, in all their natural beauty. The thinner mountain air on Himalayan treks allows for clearer sight and the lack of artificial light means even the weakest, most distant star can shine through.

It's great pleasure planning a holiday trek with these people they organised so well. I would recommend people to opt them. Even they helped us in planning out of the box to their package. abhinav majeti
- A private trek to Triund was one of my best decisions and I don't think I could've made a better choice than Abendrot Holidays to make this trek fruitful for me! The scenery across the trail is mesmerizing. It was an adventurous travel experience with the guide being pretty helpful throughout. I can't wait to travel with these guys again. Also a big thank you to the whole team for always being so communicative. Nikesh Gupta
- We were bunch of cousins planned the exciting Triund trek. However the plan could only become successful and completely fun with the services provided by the Abendrot Holidays. A personal guide was arranged who was very friendly and also experienced. The Abendrot had a beautiful place set up with tents atop the mountain and the view was spectacular. Not to forget to comment on food, we were served with hot soup and delicious meal in the night everything prepared hot. Dinner under the clear sky dotted with bright stars was an experience to remember! The only problem in the whole trek and the stay was toilet facility. I suggest the agency to consider building bio-toilets or dry toilets.
Well overall I think it was a beautiful experience! Looking forward to again seek the services again 😊 Anusha Matam
