Just a stunning 1.5 hours drive from Manali, you enter the land of wide contrasts with its ever high mountains, massive glaciers, pristine rivers & high passes. The sights of willow & poplar trees on both sides & green terraces of potato, barley, peas & buckwheat. The landscape changes from verdant valleys & forested hillsides to a sandy terrain dotted with miniature villages of flat roofed houses. Welcome to Lahaul. Experience the raw beauty & vistas of this magnificent land rich with folklore & cultural tradition. This hike gives you the chance to cross freshwater streams, meet local shepherds on the way (likely), cross boulders & view the magnificent glacier. A hike that rewards with such stunning views would usually take 2-3 days; this is a unique opportunity to experience it within a day.

Details

Here you will notice the contrast in landscapes. The duration of this hike is approx. 6 hours depending on your fitness levels & how active you are. Packed lunch will be served by the stream & green grass before we trek back to the nearest village.
