The Kugti Pass Trek is a high-altitude trek in the Dhauladhar Range of the Himalayas, located in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It offers stunning views of snow-capped peaks, lush meadows, and serene lakes.

The best time for the Kugti Pass Trek is generally from late June to early October. During this period, the weather is relatively stable, and the trail is accessible.

The Kugti Pass Trek is considered to be of moderate to challenging difficulty. It involves steep ascents and descents, rocky terrain, and the crossing of high-altitude passes. Prior trekking experience and good physical fitness are recommended.

A guide is highly recommended for the Kugti Pass Trek, especially for those who are not familiar with the area. A guide can provide valuable local knowledge, ensure safety, and assist with navigation.

Essential items to pack include trekking gear (boots, trekking poles, etc.), warm clothing, rain gear, a first aid kit, sufficient food and water, a sleeping bag, a tent (if camping), a map or GPS device, and personal items like toiletries and medication.

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, there were no specific permits required for the Kugti Pass Trek. However, it’s advisable to check with local authorities or trekking agencies for any updated regulations.

The trek generally starts from Bharmour and proceeds through various picturesque villages and campsites like Kugti, Duggi, Alyas, and Kodlu Alyas before reaching the Kugti Pass. The trek continues on to Lahesh and Chamba.

Accommodation options along the trek route are limited. Many trekkers choose to camp at designated campsites. It’s essential to carry your own camping equipment. Some treks may have temporary tea stalls or shelters, but they can be unreliable.

Some important precautions include acclimatizing properly to the high altitude, staying hydrated, dressing in layers, carrying essential items like food, water, and first aid, and following Leave No Trace principles to preserve the natural environment.
