Lambri Trek
EnquireLambri Trek: Travel along a holy mountain.
Let your mind encompass the entire Himalayas.
Lambri stands like a guard of the higher Himalayas. From the top you can see the whole Himalayan range from the Dhauladhar range to Kinnaur. Stunning!
It is not a protected area but the biodiversity of Lambri is exceptional. It even shelters the Western Tragopan. Lambri is inhabited. There are a few villages on its sides but the villagers consider their mountain like a temple. It is the abode of the most powerful and merciful deities. On Lambri Trek, you are actually not a trekker but a pilgrim!
If you start from Jalori pass (3150 m) you save yourself the tiresome climb to the Lambri top (3600 m) from a low altitude.
