Beas Kund: The Perfect Family Summer Vacation Destination

We hear a lot of talk around experiential learning for kids. The learning they get from being close to nature cannot be learned through any syllabised book. Let the world only talk about it, we here at Trek The Himalayas walk the talk (quite literally!). The summer of this year is an amazing opportunity for you to take your kids on a trek and give those young brains a taste of experiential learning. Where to start? Beas Kund Trek in Himachal Pradesh is the best option for you.

The Beas Kund trek route from start to its very destination gets more and more beautiful as you move forward everyday. By the time you reach the final destination of this trek, what awaits you will excite your kids. The great Pir Panjal Range from their textbooks to right in front of them, its famous peaks and of course the Beas Kund. These are just one of the few things that’ll imprint a memory of a lifetime in their minds.

Starting from the very start, we begin the Beas Kund trekking from Dhundi, a forested trail with thick covers of coniferous trees to Palchani Thach or meadows. In about an hour or so of trekking, we reach the first campsite. One of the best parts about Beas Kund trek is that it progresses gradually in terms of elevation, and distance covered in a day. Making it just perfect for first timers as well as kids.

Covering more such meadows like Lohali and Lady Leg, the trek will go to the summit point. From here we see the Pir Panjal range, famous peaks of Himachal like - Friendship peak, Hanuman peak, Tibba, and Shitidhar peaks and below it, is the turquoise blue Beas Kund resting in all its glory.

Why is the Beas Kund Trek Perfect for Family?

• The campsites of Beas Kund Trek are in vast running meadows that give great opportunity for the kids to bond with their parents. In the midst of wilderness away from the facilities of the home, children get to learn a new kind of life.
• The beauty of trekking in Himachal is something that’ll get imprinted in your child’s brain. There is no appreciation greater than the appreciation for nature that they’ll learn in this trek.
• Beas Kund trek duration is just 4 days in which we cover a distance of about 18 km. It's because of the short duration, it becomes an even better option for families with young teenagers.
• The story of Beas Kund is also intriguing. It is the same lake where Maharishi Veda Vyas, the author of the Great Epic of Mahabharat, used to come to take bath here. Hence the name. As you get here with your kids, you will get to listen to many folklores about the legend.
• What your kids will see here from an experiential learning point of view are quite too many. From shepherds taking the herds for grazing, to seeing the rivulets of the famous Beas rivers, to seeing the day changing into night, to getting a sneak-peak into the life of a mountaineer. The things can go on and on, but the most important life lesson they’ll learn here is to slow down and enjoy life without many material things around.
