Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Manali to Gulaba to Raulikhoi

We’ll drive to Gulaba, halfway up the Rothang Pass, and start the trek from the roadside. It’s the steady ascent of 700m and will give everyone the chance to stretch their legs into the groove.

Another isolated spot, the lake nestles under it’s own peak which stands at 45550m and offers great views once again. We’ll climb to the top of Bhrighu Peak before starting our journey back towards the valley floor. We’ll camp just above the tree line and have a last chance to savior the magnificent views. After staying at Bhrigu Lake for a couple of hours we start the trek back down to Moridug. Tonight we will be spending our night at the same campsite and tomorrow we head back to Vashisht from where we started our trek.After staying at Bhrigu Lake for a couple of hours we start the trek back down to Moridug.

Day 3 Panduropa to Vashisht

We have a steep descent to finish the trek today. The trail winds its way through the various types of vegetation on offer in the valley and as we get closer to the village of Vashisht will hopefully see some of the area's wonderful wildlife. Snow cocks, monals, and khaji pheasants are some of the many birds around, and above there are sure to be plenty of eagles and vultures gliding effortlessly through the sky. Vashisht is famous for its natural hot spring and upon arriving in the village we’ll head straight for a relaxing bath. The perfect way to end the trek.
