Description
The Yulla Kanda Trek is a lesser-known yet beautiful trek in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh, India. It takes adventurers to the Yulla Kanda Lake, perched at an altitude of around 3,895 meters. The lake is considered sacred by locals and is dedicated to Lord Krishna. The trek offers breathtaking views of the Kinnaur Kailash range and lush meadows dotted with wildflowers. The journey passes through dense forests, charming villages, and expansive pastures. It’s an offbeat and moderately challenging trek, ideal for those seeking solitude in the mountains. The trek is typically done between May to October, when the weather is favorable for hiking.
