Thanedar Adventure Tour

The smell of blue pine and conifer tress that carpet the hills lingers in the air long after you have taken the last turn into thanedar. The walk will do you good though the last 1,650 ft is an uphill climb. Built by stokes in typical pahari style, this stone temple stands in the middle of apple orchards. This is a historic point as it was here that stokes planted the first apple seed for those red and golden delicious apples.

The Tani Jubber Lake is 4 km from Thanedar. Take the car till the point where the road is no longer motorable. The uphill climb takes 10 minutes, if you are quick on your feet. As you push through branches and bramble, the road clears and the ground beneath your feet becomes glat.

Like a pearl in an oyster waiting to be discovered in the midst of nowhere, with the snow peaked mountains in the background and a weeping willow sighing on its periphery lies the placid lake. There is a local temple on one side of the lake that is not open to outsiders. In June a fair is held at the lake, where local artisans and craftsmen display their wares.

Around Thanedar

Narkanda 16km
This junction town and refueling stop does not appear to have realized its destiny as a happening tourist destination. In summer traveler usually stop by just to grab a few winks before moving on to Kinnaur and Spiti. In winters skiing is the only reason some come to Narkanda, or to March to Hatu Peak. Skiing unfolds from January to early March. Do the undemanding trek, or drive up to Hatu Peak. At the top there is a little temple dedicated to Hatu Mata, a tea stall in summer and a camping ground.
