Shirgan-Tungu is a journey into the heart of the untouched Himalayas, a realm of vast, folded mountain valleys sculpted by time and nature. This extraordinary trek winds through the pristine and soul-stirring landscapes of Kullu and Manali, extending far beyond into the remote reaches of the Pir Panjal range.
What sets this trail apart is its complete isolation, a path far from the footprints of civilisation. For days, trekkers traverse ancient alpine meadows, deep forests, and wild ridgelines without encountering a single soul. It’s a rare invitation to experience the Himalayas in their raw, untamed form.

The day begins with a hearty breakfast before the trek resumes. The trail winds upwards through a dense forest of pines and silver fir. After a steep hour-long climb, the slanting slope becomes moderate up to the campsite at Kuldee. By afternoon, the group reaches Kuldee, a beautiful high-altitude grazing ground. The campsite offers stunning views and a quiet ambience, perfect for an evening around the campfire.
The trek starts with an uphill stretch, weaving through forests filled with silver fir, oak, chestnut, and the ancient Bhojpatra trees. As the steep ascent eases, the trail gradually climbs along a ridge, leading to the highland meadows – grazing fields used by local shepherds during summer. A gentle traverse above the tree line, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains, takes us to Dharanu Dugh, a serene campsite nestled in nature’s embrace, surrounded by the beautiful rhododendrons. After having lunch and resting at the campsite, the group ascends towards Shirgan Tungu Base, the highest point of the journey at around 3,800 meters, offering panoramic views of Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar ranges. After spending some time soaking in the landscape and capturing memories, the group descends back to Dharnu Dugh camp for an overnight stay.
