Thatharana Trek is run by a local Himachali team — expect home-style meals and hospitality, not a hotel checklist.

Reviews curated from our public Google Business Profile.
“Awesome trekking place, good service, nice food, must visit place.”
“Beautiful place, the food is great and the staff is very friendly. Clean place and washrooms. I enjoyed my stay here and would absolutely visit again!”
“Nice ambience, good food, silent atmosphere, over all everything good.”
“Breathtaking views, amazing hospitality, great homely food. If you're planning to go on a trek in Himachal, I highly recommend considering this over Triund.”
“This was my first experience, and honestly this is one of the best hidden treks near Dharamshala. It's less crowded than the famous treks, which makes for amazing views without the rush, and you get 360-degree views of the Dhauladhar mountains and Kangra valley.”
“One of the best treks I have ever done, made even more special by the Mountain Hikers camp team. Their mud house facility also has a washroom which was clean, and we had breakfast, lunch and dinner — all the meals were super delicious.”
