Overview
Moon Peak Trek Expedition
Moon Peak is an impressive peak that may be found in the Dhauladhar Range of the western Himalayas, near the fertile valleys of Kangra. Those who are interested in reaching an altitude of around 4650 metres will find that the summit climb to be of a moderate difficulty. While the height may be undervalued by some mountaineers who are really enthusiastic about the sport of climbing, the ascent of the mountain and the steepness of the terrain give all of the elements that are required for summiting a peak. Moon Peak has a moderate degree of difficulty in terms of its technicality, which requires sufficient strength and endurance. It is a challenging ascent that includes rocky ascents, steep traverses, and an attempt at the difficult summit. Although the Moon peak is situated in the Kangra area, which is home to a wealth of flora and wildlife, the region's spectacular sceneries, which are adorned with tea plantations, herbal medicinal plants, and other such plants, make it impossible not to be captivated by the rich and diverse environment. Moon mountain, which is located in the Dhauladhar range, is the geographic divider between the two districts of Kangra and Chamba. Read More

Itinerary of Expedition
You are responsible for making your own way to McLeodGanj, which serves as the beginning point of our walk. Following the track that has been designated, we will make our way to Triund Valley, and we should be there about afternoon.
Enjoy the remainder of the day taking in the breathtaking views of the Dhauladhar Ranges from the alluring meadows.
Mountain regions are known for their breathtaking nighttime scenery, so be sure to keep an eye on the clear sky above your tents.
After being awestruck by the dawn, we get our hiking boots on and go in the direction of Ilaqa Got. The Snowline Cafe will be on our path during the next 3 hours, and we will be at our destination within the following 60 minutes.
After you have arrived at your destination, take some time to take in the scenery, relax for the day, and then go on an acclimatisation trek to the foot of the mountain range.
After breakfast this morning, we will get an early start and, if the conditions are favourable, we will make an effort to climb Moon Peak today; if not, we will save it for tomorrow. Additionally, this may be used as an extra day in the event that the weather does not cooperate.
If we are ready to start climbing right now, we may make an effort at it beginning very early in the morning.
Today, we will get an early start and go across the magnificent Indrahar Pass. Following a brief dip, we will begin the climb that will take us to the Moon Peak at an elevation of 15,200 feet.
The panorama that can be seen from the Peak is quite enchanting; thus, be sure to take pictures so you can look back on them in the future.
Following our time spent above that location, we will make our way back down to the Lahesh Caves Base during the afternoon.
Ilaqa Got to McLeodganj Today, we get an early start in order to travel the remaining distance and be at Mcleodganj in time for the evening.

➽ Preparation for Expedition
During the wonderful Himalayan trek, mind, body, and spirit must all be overcome, as you well know. Precise preparation, with appropriate pliability of observing and confronting circumstances, is essential. Due to the difficulty and unpredictability of expeditions, participation is limited to those who have completed trekking at altitudes of at least 4,500 metres at least four to five times or have finished a Basic Mountaineering course.
The following are some considerations for the Moon Peak Trek Expedition:
⦿ Physically – An Expedition requires a lot of physical endurance, therefore you should start working out a month before signing up for a programme. Strengthen your legs by jogging and working out regularly to increase your stamina. To better acclimatise to the environment and increase your resilience on the walk, you should give up smoking and undertake breathing exercises twice a day. Participate wholeheartedly in sports, Yoga, and other cardiovascular activities. Sometimes you have to climb for 20 hours straight, therefore you need to be ready to push yourself to the maximum, which is only possible with well-defined pre- and post-climb training.
⦿ Mentally – As essential as physical training is for an Expedition, so too is mental preparation. Relax, enjoy your regular activities, and take care of yourself before embarking on an Adventure. Don't put yourself through mental anguish by making guesses or planning ahead for the Expedition. Get together with your closest pals to rejuvenate and refocus your thinking. After you join the March and meet the rest of the pack, you will find encouragement and excitement, proving that your pre-expedition preconceptions were unfounded. As you endure the hardships of the journey, both your mental and physical toughness will increase. Hence, as you make your way up to each campground, it's a good idea to pay attention to different sections of the body and actively relax them. Focus on the path or whatever perilous terrain you must carefully handle when climbing, and attempt to relax your body. Try out a few new walking techniques to add some fun to your commute that has nothing to do with getting anywhere. The best way to keep one's mind in good shape when traveling is to relax and enjoy the ride.
⦿ Technically –
Choose the right size of trekking or climbing shoes and walk with it, from a technical standpoint. Fill a 60-liter container. Carry as much as you can in your rucksack on a regular basis to become accustomed to walking lengthy distances with it. You should equip yourself with a trekking pole, water bottle, warm socks, thermals, fleece, feather jackets, cap, trousers, poncho, flip flops, and any necessary equipment like a power bank and camera (DSLR or digital camera). Get a sling and use it to perfect the primary knots you'll need for the ascent.
The rewards of a successful mountain ascent are well worth the effort required to reach the top, which may be as daunting as the mountain itself. The Himalayan Adventure Tours Expedition to Mighty Mountain Kang Yatse awaits your honest participation.
