This was my second trekking experience in Himachal Pradesh. I decided to trek to Bhabha pass because I had heard a lot about the stunning views on the route. But since I was backpacking through the state, I needed a budget package that would help me on my journey. Thrillophilia was the cheapest and most well-planned option, and fit right within my budget. Logistical issues are the biggest drawback of solo travelling, but I had a smooth experience with Thrillophilia. Everyone should trek to Bhabha Pass at least once in their lives- it is definitely worth it!

The overall experience of our Bhabha pass trek was absolutely amazing! It was a positive start from the very beginning as the booking experience with Thrillophilia kicked off smoothly and without any technical complications. The organisers were professional and helpful which built our confidence to go ahead with the trek. We were made aware of the difficulties and challenges from beforehand, which made the experience even more pleasant since we came prepared! Will remember this trip forever.

Amazing expereince in Himachal Pradesh, the trek was the major hightlight of the tour, The place was breathtaking with the white mountain, the lush greenery, grasslands and we even visit the village and get to learn something special about the people culture and lifestyles, When we talked about the whole trek sometimes you would found it was easy and sometimes difficult so be ready if you are taking this tour. Very well-organized and well-managed by the Thrillophilia and the local-operator.

This trek is special not for its adventurous outlook, but the sights that it offers. The Chandratal Lake is especially breathtaking in its beauty and is definitely one of the best place sto witness.
