Best time to do the Kinner Kailash trek?
Ans: The ideal time is from mid-July to early September, during the annual Kinner Kailash Yatra. This is when the trail is accessible, snow has melted, and local support is available. Avoid trekking during winter or early spring due to heavy snow and high risk. At Yaarana Adventures, we suggest August, during Yatra, is the best time to do the Kinner Kailash Trek.

Is the Kinner Kailash Trek difficult?
Ans: Yes, it is considered a challenging to strenuous trek, especially due to steep ascents, loose scree sections, and high altitude. It’s recommended for trekkers with prior high-altitude experience and good physical fitness. 

What is the difficulty level of the Kinner Kailash trek?
Ans:  Kinner Kailash Trek is generally considered a difficult trek. Hence, 30-45 days of prior intense exercise/workout is a must! Walking for long distances with a heavy backpack is also an ideal way of preparing for the trek.

Who can participate in this trek?
Ans: We welcome all kinds of trekkers aged from 18 to 55 years. You should be able to walk 6-7 km daily and climb stairs without extreme exhaustion.

Bagpack Offloading available for this trek?
Ans: We suggest all trekkers opt for the Backpack Offloading/Porter Service for 4 Days during the trek. Porter Service: 1500 per day. The Porter also acts as an added guided backup.

What is the altitude gain per day?
Ans: Approx 1000m every day

What is the total trekking distance for the Kinner Kailash Shivling route and the Parikrama circuit??
Ans: Approx 19 to 20 km oneway.

Can beginners face Altitude Sickness?
Ans: Yes, since the altitude gain is quick. Staying hydrated and acclimatising properly helps. Hence, we have added an extra day at Powari.

Do I need trekking poles?
Ans: Yes, it is helpful for steep ascents and descents.

Are there rental options for gear?
Ans: No, please carry your gear or buy from Reckong Peo on Day 2.

Where do we stay during the trek?
Ans: Campsites with double/triple tents and blankets will be provided. No permanent shelters.

Is there a mobile network on the trek?
Ans: Yes, there will be Airtel and Jio connectivity during the trek. 

What happens in case of a medical emergency?
Ans: Our Trek leaders carry a first aid kit with them. In case of an emergency, evacuation to Ganesh Park or Powari will be arranged. There will be added Govt Medical Backup too. 

What time should I reach Chandigarh on Day 1?
Ans: Try to reach Chandigarh during the daytime only, as you will board an evening bus for Reckong Peo.
