Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : Arrive Manali (2050 M)

  Early morning, once we cross Pandoh Dam in Himachal, the road winds along the River Beas. We get the first glimpse of the fascinating snow capped mountains after passing the village of Kullu and arrive at Manali in the morning.

  After breakfast we start the trek from Hadimba Temple 2.5 km from Manali. Climb through the Deodar forest for 3 km to a rocky outcrop with a view of Manali. Just above this vantage point is a small meadow before a steep 400m ascent through small pastures and conifer and oak forest. The gradient begins to become gentler as you reach the camp in an open glade at 2920m. Lamadugh (2920m) is a lovely meadow ringed by Maple, spruce and Oak while stands of Silver Birch are further up in the Hillside. Overnight camping.
