Women trek in Himachal Pradesh

Himalayan Ecotourism is introducing a Women Special Trek in the GHNP for the upcoming season!

These unique treks will be led by local women from the Tirthan Valley. Women Special Treks are operational from April to June and Oct to Nov.

Rolla Trek offers an ideal introduction to trekking, perfect for beginners and those short on time. Starting from Gushaini, it’s a leisurely hike along the Tirthan River to reach Rolla, with the option to extend your journey to Shilt hut or Chalocha.

You start from Ropa village. Hike through a village and then in the wilderness where you stop for lunch with snowy peaks in view. Pass through the park gate, encountering Nanni’s wood house.

Trek to Rolla, enjoy flora and spot wildlife. Set up camp by the riverside and relax. Next day wake up by the Tirthan river, enjoy breakfast, and pack up. Descend back to Ropa village and conclude with tea and snacks.

Leadership lessons, ‘Leave No Trace’ practices along the trails are imparted. The management aspects, equipment, first aid, camping skills, wilderness leadership and backpacking lessons are part of the programme.
