Beas Kund

About the Beas Kund trek

Beas Kund is a scenic trek to the glacial source of the Beas River, set against a backdrop of Friendship Peak, Hanuman Tibba, and other towering Himalayan summits. At 12,772 ft, it offers high-altitude drama in a compact four-day itinerary from Manali.

Best season

May through October is ideal. Early season (May–June) features snow patches and flowing streams; September and October bring crisp views and stable weather.

Who is this trek for?

• Trekkers wanting glacier and peak views without extreme difficulty
• Nature lovers interested in the origin of one of Himachal's great rivers
• Weekend adventurers with moderate fitness

What to expect on the trail

The route follows the Beas upstream from Dhundi through Bakarthach — a wide meadow camp with direct views of surrounding peaks — to the kund itself. The final approach crosses moraine and glacial terrain, with the source appearing as a small lake fed by ice and snow above.

Himalayan Ibex pairs this trek with experienced local guides who know the Beas valley in every season.
