Kundli Pass Trek
A 4-day offbeat crossing from the Khaniyara side over the Kundli Pass, using the quiet Thatharana meadow as base camp.
Kundli Pass is the offbeat high crossing above the Thatharana meadow on the Khaniyara side of Dharamshala — a route almost no commercial groups walk. From Khaniyara the trail climbs through Kangra Valley forest and farmland to the open Thatharana pasture (2,900 m), then up shepherd ground and scree to the Kundli saddle on the Dhauladhar crest, above a small glacial tarn.

From Khaniyara the trail climbs through Kangra Valley forest and farmland to the open Thatharana pasture (2,900 m), the base camp, then up shepherd ground and scree to the Kundli saddle on the Dhauladhar crest. Below sits a small glacial tarn, and the views run clean across the Kangra plains to the south and the inner Dhauladhar to the north. With grazing-season solitude and a genuine forest-to-pass progression, this suits trekkers who want a real crossing without the Triund or Indrahar crowds. Local guide, camping, meals and transfers arranged.

Safety & good to know
Khaniyara, on the quieter east side of Dharamshala, using the Thatharana meadow as base — the same meadow as our Thatharana trek but pushing higher to the pass.
Very quiet. Thatharana itself sees few trekkers, and almost no one continues to Kundli Pass, so you often have the route to yourselves.
May–June and September–October, when the pass is clear of heavy snow.
