Treks
near Manali and Kullu Valley
This is a beautiful area to trek in and there are some outstanding mountain
peaks and great views. The altitude goes between 2000m and 3500m and
treks in this area are a good way to get acclimatized for higher altitude
treks in Lahaul or Zanskar.
Manali
is a good place to use as a base, as there are many travel agencies
that organize treks. It is easy enough to arrange your own trek and
many guides and porters work out of Manali. The tourist office and the
Mountaineering Institute are good sources of information on treks in
the area. For longer treks, guides are essential because none of the
maps are totally reliable.
The
best season to trek is from mid-September to mid-October, when the weather
is good and the sky is clear. May and mid-October to mid-November are
also good, but by the end of November it is very cold. From mid-June
to the beginning of September there is the risk of freezing rain or
snow, which can be potentially fatal. One girl told me that she and
her friend almost died during a freezing rainstorm in this area when
their tent filled up with water while they were sleeping. Afterwards
they had an enjoyable two-week trek.
You can take a bus up to Rohtang Pass, 31km from Manali, and then walk
down (off the road) in a few hours.
Trek to Beas Kund
There are some good views of 6000m high mountains along this trek. It
begins in the village of Palchan, which is a half-hour bus ride from
Manali. You then walk to Solang, which has a guesthouse, and then continue
on to Dhundi. On Day 2 the path is harder to see and walk on. It takes
around 5 or 6 hours to get to Beas Kund, where you camp out. You can
then take a one-day hike to Tentu La Pass (4900m) and back. It takes
one day to descend back to Manali.
Jagatsukh
to Deo Tibba
This is a fairly hard trek to the base of Deo Tibba (6000m)
that takes four or five days. The trek begins in Jagatsukh, 12km south
of Manali. On Day 1 you walk to Chika. On Day 2 you walk to Serai. From
there you can go to a ridge where you can get a good view of Deo Tibba.
You can also go to Chandra Tal Lake. From Serai it takes around a day
to return to Jagatsukh.
Naggar to Jari via Malana
This is a nice trek that has some good scenery. It can be done quickly
in three days. You need a guide, because the path to Malana is not easy
to follow and he can also help in Malana because of the strict social
customs there. Ponies can not make the descent to Parvati Valley because
it is too steep. Porters can be hired in Naggar through the Sheetal
and Alliance guesthouses or in Manali.
On Day 1 you first walk to Rumsli and then you camp there. On Day 2
you go over Chandrakani Pass (3650m), from where there are some great
views. From the pass it is a 7km walk down to the village of Malana.
On Day 3 it is a steep walk down to the bottom of Parvati Valley to
Rashol. From here you can follow the river to Manikaran or walk 3km
to the village of Jari.
Manali
to Lahaul over Hampta Pass
Day 1 begins at Prini, 5km south of Manali and goes to Sethen (5 hr).
Day 2 goes to Chikha (5 hr). You may want to stay here for a day to
acclimatize. On Day 3 you go over Hampta Pass (4300m), which is a really
hard walk. From the pass there are great views of Lahaul in the north
and the peaks of Deo Tibba and Indrasan. On Day 4 it is another hard
walk to the bottom of the Chandra Valley to reach Chatru. From there
you can head towards Rohtang Pass or head towards Bara Shigri, the world’s
largest glacier.
Dharamsala Area Trekking
There are several treks to take in the Dharamsala area mainly going
over the Dhauladhar Range. Some passes are over 4500m. To do treks in
this area you need a guide and porters. The Mountaineering Institute
on Dharamkot Rd rents equipment and can arrange a guide. You need to
bring your own food with you, and it is best to bring your own tent.
The best time to trek is from late August to late October. During the
monsoon it can rain, which makes it hard to get around, but the area
and the meadows look nice.
Dharamsala
to Chamba via Indrahar Pass
This trek takes about five days and can be tough in places. It is the
most popular route between Dharamsala and Chamba. Day 1 begins at Dharamkot
and goes 10km to Triund. There is a forest guest house there that should
be reserved in advance at the Forest Office in Dharamsala. On Day 2
you go either to Illaqa Got or to Lahesh Cave. On Day 3, it is a fairly
difficult ascent to Indrahar Pass (4360m), from where there are great
views north to the peaks of Pir Panjal and the Kangra Valley. You then
descend past waterfalls to the village of Kuarsi. Day 4 is a six-hour
walk to the village of Macchetar, from where you can catch a ride to
Chamba or Brahmaur.
Routes
over the Dhauladhar Range
Several other routes go over the Dhauladhar Range from Dharamsala to
Chamba. One route begins in Tang Narwana (10km from Dharamsala), and
goes over the Taral Pass (4570m). Another route takes four or five days
to go over the Bleni Pass (3700m). The hardest route goes over the Bhimghasutri
Pass and takes five or six days.
Bashleo
Pass Trek
This is a four or five-day trek beginning in Rampur and going to Banjar
via the Bashleo Pass. It is a fairly gentle path, and there are forest
guest houses along the route, so a tent is not necessary. The trek goes
through several villages, including Sarahan, Bathad, and Bandal.
Palampur
District Treks
This is a scenic area for trekking. There are no trekking companies
in Palampur, so you should organize guides, porters, and necessities
in Dharamsala. .
