A lesser-known extension beyond Triund that takes you into the raw Dhauladhar range. Laka Glacier sits in a dramatic amphitheater of rock and ice at 3200m, with massive boulders, moraines, and a seasonal glacial lake. Far fewer trekkers make it here compared to Triund, giving it a wild, remote feel just hours from McLeodganj.
