Yulla Kanda Trek
Trek to World’s Highest Krishna Temple!
We start our exciting journey with an overnight drive from Delhi to Tapri or Yulla, a beautiful village in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. As we leave behind the busy city life, we get comfortable in our seats, relax, and enjoy the cool breeze and calm vibes of the highway. The drive takes us through
scenic routes, tall pine trees, and winding roads that slowly introduce us to the mountains. We get to know our fellow travelers, share stories, and build excitement for the days ahead. This long journey also gives us time to rest so we’re ready for the adventure that starts the next morning. The fresh
mountain air and starry sky make the ride feel peaceful and set the mood for our upcoming trek.
After a long overnight journey, we arrive in Tapri or Yulla by late morning. The fresh mountain air and stunning views welcome us warmly. We check into our hotel and take some time to rest and freshen up after the road trip. The peaceful surroundings help us relax and recharge for the trek ahead. In the afternoon, we can enjoy a warm meal and maybe take a short walk around the nearby areas. The scenic beauty and calm vibes of the mountains help us unwind. In the evening, we gather with the group, go over the trek plan, and get to know each other better. After dinner, we head to our rooms early to
get a good night’s sleep and be ready for our first day of trekking.
We begin our day with a delicious breakfast at the hotel, feeling refreshed and excited. After checking out, we take a short 30-minute drive to the scenic Yulla Village – our starting point for the trek. Surrounded by beautiful mountains and pine forests, we lace up our shoes and start our adventure. The trail
to Yulla Base Camp is about 10 km long and takes around 4–6 hours to complete. As we walk through nature’s beauty, we’ll stop for a packed lunch, either on the trail or at the campsite, depending on the pace. On reaching the base camp, we settle into our tents, enjoy hot evening tea, and relax under the open
sky. A warm dinner is served before we rest for the night in the peaceful wilderness.
We wake up early and after a quick warm-up, we begin our morning trek to the world’s highest Krishna Temple, surrounded by calm and breathtaking scenery. As we climb higher, the peaceful environment and snow-kissed peaks around us make the effort totally worth it. We spend some time at the temple, soaking in the spiritual vibes and clicking a few memorable pictures. After exploring the serene surroundings, we return to the base camp for a hearty breakfast. Post breakfast, we pack our bags, trek back to Yulla Village, and drive to Tapri. Here, we get time to freshen up and relax. In the evening, we
begin our overnight journey back to Delhi, ending this short but unforgettable Himalayan adventure.

The Yulla Kanda Trek is a remote high-altitude trail in Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh, leading to the sacred Yulla Kanda Lake, which is believed to be the meditation site of Lord Krishna. The lake holds deep spiritual value for the Kinnauri community.
Yulla Kanda is located near Yulla village in the Kinnaur district, above Kalpa and Reckong Peo, at an altitude of 12,778 feet (3,895 meters) above sea level.
The round-trip distance from Yulla Khas to the lake and back is approximately 12 kilometres.
Classified as easy-to-moderate, the trail involves gradual climbs through forests and meadows, with the summit day being moderately challenging.
Ideal season is mid-May to mid-October, when trails are clear of heavy snow and the valley is in full bloom.
You first travel to Reckong Peo or Kalpa (by road from Shimla/Manali), then proceed by local transport to Yulla Khas village, the trek’s starting point.
The trek offers a blend of dense forests, high-altitude meadows, wildflower-laden slopes, and wide views of the Greater Himalayan ranges, especially the Kinner Kailash massif.
Accommodation includes camping in tents during the trek and guesthouse or homestay stays at Tapri or the base village. Our team provides all essential camping and kitchen gear, as well as hygienic meals.
Our all-inclusive package covers transport from Delhi, trek guide and support staff, permits, meals during the trek, camping equipment, and first-aid support.
