What to expect
Our hiking adventure kicks off with an early 8:00 AM departure to Narkanda, reaching by 10:00 AM. Reach at Sidhpur/Galanghatti and start your trek from here. The surroundings transform with the seasons, featuring vibrant rhododendrons in spring, roses and wildflowers in summer, and lilies-of-the-valley and peonies during monsoons.
After an hour's walk, we reach the Jhamunda meadow, and the ascent becomes steeper. No marked trail here, so follow the expert. Beware of Himalayan black bears in these forests. Two hours later, we reach Hatu's summit, offering a breathtaking 360-degree Himalayan view. Don't forget to visit the Hateshwari temple.
Our journey continues to Jaubagh meadows, and then we head to the tranquil Tani Jubbar Lake, skipping Narkanda. After some quiet reflection at the lake, we return to Shimla.
