Itinerary:


Day 00 : Delhi – Chandigarh – Manali – ‘dA Base– Mountaineerz’ (12 – 14 hrs.)


The participants will de-board the Bus at ‘Patlikuhl’, 14 kms short of New Manali Bus stand. From this pick-up point, the guests will be driven to our Base in Haripur. After refreshments and breakfast hike 2 hrs to Himalayan Village Retreat in Soil, the oldest village of this valley. Unwind at Himalayan Village Retreat located in a massive orchard by the stream on the edge of the forest. After lunch explore surrounding or go angling if you like. Return back at base to chat with the team over bonfire and dinner.


Day 01 : Haripur, Manali – Solang (2483 m) – Dhundi (2840 m) – drive 30 km, trek 8 km


Those who have not stayed overnight at our base should meet us at Ram Bagh Chowk, Mall Road, Manali. After breakfast, drive to the Solang valley up to the Dhundi road-link to being the first leg of the trek. Solang boasts of some of the best skiing slopes of India and is the starting point of many treks in Himachal Pradesh. Gradually ascending from the valley for around 8 km, the trail follows river Beas, many times crossing the stream from one side to the other, getting us to Dhundi. The quaint little mountain hamlet that has nothing to offer save scenic beauty and resonating silence, Dhundi is another alpine meadow full of wild flowers. Set up camp for overnight stay.


Day 2 : Dhundi – Bakarthach (3270 m) – 3 km


Today 6 km long trek takes us over loosely held boulders and moraines of a dying glacier at places. We continue up to a scenic campsite at the pastures of Bakarthach which is a high-altitude meadow and literally means ‘shepherd’s field’. These enchanting meadows are very popular pastures for the Gaddis – a hardy nomadic tribe of shepherds, and it’s easy to find flocks of sheep grazing peacefully in this pastoral idyll. These sun and wind swept meadows will be a feast for your senses.

 

Day 3 : Bakarthach – Beas Kund (3690 m) – Bakarthach – 6 km


An early start to the day and a short climb up the ridge through Bhoj Patra will get us to Beas Kund. Bhoj Patra gets its name from the fact that the area has a lot of Bhoj Patra (birch) trees. We will spend time here at the glacial tarn of Beas Kund – the source of one of the major rivers of north India. The legend is that Sage Vyas, the author of the great epic Mahabharata, meditated here. After a full day of
excursion around the Beas Kund plateau, we will come back to Bakarthach in the evening.


Day 4 : Bakarthach – Solang – Manali – 11 km walk then drive to Manali


After breakfast we start our return trek to Solang; we will take the same route through Dhundi. On getting down, we’ll board the vehicle waiting for us which will get us to Manali. End of the trek. From here, one can spend time exploring Manali and Old Manali and later board the bus for Delhi/Chandigarh


**Guests who are travelling the next day are welcome to stay the night at no extra cost. Relax at the Himalayan Village Retreat or go angling (some nice spots near our base) the next day. Paragliding and rafting can also be arranged, before we part ways here to meet soon for our next adventure.
