    History

    The history of Lahesh Caves is intertwined with the local nomadic communities and shepherds who have traditionally used the area for grazing their livestock. The caves have served as natural shelters for centuries, providing refuge during harsh weather conditions. While there isn't a formally documented history, the caves have undoubtedly been used by trekkers and adventurers for many years. They represent a vital stopping point on the trekking routes of the Dhauladhar range. Local folklore may also associate the caves with tales of hermits or wandering ascetics who sought solace in the mountains. The caves' significance lies primarily in their practical use as a shelter and their contribution to the trekking experience in the Triund region.
