    Assemble at the decided point. The trek leader and the staff acquaint you with the do's and dont's, and other details regarding the trek.

    The trek commences with a beautiful walk following the left bank of the Beas. You gradually start moving into wilderness, leaving the hustle and bustle of Manali behind. The trail passes through some serene little hamlets like Ghoshal, Shanag and Burwa. You cross the river from here and reach the Solang Nala. We set up our camp at a beautiful stretch along the Beas river.

  3. Day 3 Solang Nala to Shagadugh

    Have a hearty breakfast and get set to kick start the exciting day lying ahead. You leave the village of Solan behind, and pass through some breathtaking stretches of Cedar, Pine and Oak forest. Bird watchers are requested to keep the cameras ready, as the stretch is famous for the sightings of some exotic species like Monals and khaleej pheasants.

    The gorgeous trail finally leads you into the vast green meadows of Shahadug. Explore the beautiful campsite. A perfect place for lonely walks and some 'Me time'...Overnight stay in the camp.

  4. Day 4 Shagadugh - Patalsu Peak - Shagadugh

    It's a long day ahead, so we start early in the morning. Being the 'Summit Day' you can feel the buzz and excitement in the air. For the first hour, you criss cross the lush forest and make your way forward towards the base of the imposing Patalsu peak.

    The trail gets uneven and exposed as you begin the final ascend. It's a moderate 3-4 hours of trek from this point till the peak summit. But once u reach the summit, it all seems worth the sweat and effort. You just cant explain the sense of achievement as you stand on the summit with your head high and chest pumping with adrenaline. And add to that, the panoramic views of the Shitidhar, Manali and Friendship peaks..Things can't get any better than this...

    Capture the beautiful moments, and start the descend back to the Shagadugh campsite for the overnight stay.

  5. Day 5 Trek from Shagadugh to Solang / Drive from Solang to Manali

    You retrace your path to the Solang Village, from where the veichles will pick and drop you back to Manali.
