Beas Kund Trek Packing List: What You Actually Need

A Beas Kund trek packing list is mercifully short — this is a 4-day trek to 12,772 ft where we provide the heavy equipment, so your rucksack should close without a wrestling match. Here is exactly what to bring, season by season, and what to leave at home.

What does TrekNova provide on Beas Kund?

Alpine tents on twin sharing, sleeping bags and mats, all meals on the trek, and transport between Manali and Dhundi — all inside the ₹9,999 + 5% GST package. That means no tent, no sleeping bag and no cooking gear on your list. What remains is clothing, footwear and personal kit.

What clothing do you need for Beas Kund?

Think three layers: a wicking base (never cotton), a fleece, and a padded or wind-resistant shell for camp evenings — Lohali at 11,155 ft drops near freezing even in summer. Two trek t-shirts, one trek pant plus a spare, thermals for the night, a warm cap, a sun hat and two pairs of woollen socks cover the trip. In May–June and October add one extra warm layer; in July–August add a poncho or rain jacket.

Which shoes work for the boulder section?

High-ankle trekking shoes with a proper lugged sole — the moraine before the lake is ankle-tester terrain. Break them in for at least two weeks before the trek; sports shoes survive Day 1 and regret Day 3.

What small essentials do people forget?

Sunscreen and lip balm (altitude sun is serious), sunglasses, a headlamp, a wide-mouth water bottle, personal medicines, and a small daypack for the Day 3 round trip to the lake. A power bank beats hunting for charging points that don't exist at Palchhani Thatch.

What should you leave behind?

Jeans, bulky towels, more than two spare t-shirts, and 'just in case' electronics. Target a rucksack under 9 kg — your shoulders will notice every gram on the climb to Lohali.

Packed and ready? Dates for the May–October season are live on the Beas Kund trek page.
