How to Trek to Langha Mata
Langha Mata with temple site in the lap of Green hills looked over by
Dhauladhar Mountains in Palampur side. This is an easy Day Hike trek,
so we advice start early in the morning.

Trek But Please Do Not Throw Your Garbage on Trail and near Temple
premises, carry an extra bag to put your garbage in.
To reach the starting point of
trail to Langha Mata temple, you need to reach village Nanahar, which
comes after Village Kandbari and Village Khas Bari.
You can board a Himachal
Roadways Transport Corporation Bus (HRTC) leaves Palampur ISBT around
07:30 AM and goes through Old Palampur Bus Stand and bus stop near
Punjab National Bank at 08:00 AM (keep a watchful eye if you decide
to board from Old Bus Stand), this bus will drop you near Govt Sr Sec
School and Primary Health Center of Nanahar and by the side water
filtration system, the starting point of this trek.
The first HRTC bus leaves
Palampur ISBT at 07:30 AM, consult the bus stand authorities a day in
advance, though no need of advance booking for seat. Alternatively
you can drive up to Nanahar, or can board any bus for Baijnath,
Manali and ask for Dramman bus stop.
From Dramman bus stop either
board a shared cab up to Kandbari or hire a taxi for Nanahar (a not
so good option).
Once you reach Nanahar School,
climb a steep concrete road going upward North. At the end of this
concrete road turn left and then after 20 meter walk, turn right up
side, here this trail has a shop on to the left...post this shop the
concrete trail gets divided in to two parts.
You can take any of them… (a)
the trail on to left will go through a house with temple of Lord
Hanuman and a right turn through fields and will end in front of
homes and a Water Well with a small temple on top… (b) if you take
right hand concrete trail, which is a little bit of lengthy but
straight and will end in front of the same water Well.

From the Water Well and after a
little walk from the back side of the house and livestock point, one
trail goes to left and other trail goes to right hand side...take
turn to right hand up side trail and after a short walk, you will
notice a waterhole on left...cross over and from there the single
trail starts, climb up the pebbled trail and turn right up side…..and
once you reach near the water tank do not deviate either
left side or right side...just
look out for the trail straight up side (North)….with two rest
points on trail.

On the last rest point...you will
notice a punctured water pipe and another trail going down to left
and one going to right...as said earlier once you are on main trail,
Avoid any trail going
left or right….keep
walking upside and since here trail visibility is 100% clear, so no
chance of getting lost.
