Laka Glacier

The area surrounding Laka Glacier has a rich history intertwined with the local Gaddi tribe, who have traditionally used these high-altitude pastures for grazing their livestock. The glacier itself, while not extensively documented historically, has been a landmark known to locals and shepherds for generations. In recent years, with the increase in tourism to Triund, Laka Glacier has gained popularity as a trekking destination. The impact of climate change is evident in the region, with the snowfield receding over time. Efforts are being made to promote responsible tourism and minimize the environmental impact of visitors to preserve the natural beauty of Laka Glacier and its surroundings for future generations. The increasing awareness of the fragility of the Himalayan ecosystem has led to discussions about sustainable practices and conservation efforts in the area.
