Timeline
15:41
Begin the ascent toward Indrahar Pass. This is alpine hiking through the snowbound Dhauladhar Range in the Kangra valley. You will likely need to book a tour to complete this section, as it ends at Lamu. Start early enough to reach a good vantage point before the sun dips.
17:26
Find your spot to watch the sunset. On 15 January, the sun sets toward the WSW at 17:41. The golden light begins around 17:05, offering a perfect window to settle in and enjoy the alpine views before the sky darkens.
18:26
Descend from the pass. Once the sun has set, the temperature will drop quickly. Head back down toward the valley floor to find warmth and food.
Local tip
Since there are no listed food or drink spots in the immediate vicinity of the pass itself, plan to return to the lower town or Triund area for dinner after your descent. Check local transport options if you need to get back to the main hub.
