Itineraries
Day 1
Drive from Manali to Dhundi and Trek to Palchhani Thach
Please make sure to be present at the Hotel at 12:00 PM, as this is our designated time and meeting point for our pick-up. It is advisable to arrive in Manali a day in advance due to potential delays in bus schedules on this route, with buses often not arriving on time.
Upon your arrival in Hotel, a brief 22-kilometer drive to Dhundi awaits. Dhundi serves as the starting point for our Beas Kund Trek. From Dhundi, we will trek to Palchani Thach, our first campsite on the trek. A forested trail follows from Dhundi to Palchani Thach. The trail is well-marked with a moderate ascent. It takes about 1 hr to reach the campsite, and upon reaching the campsite, we will have a delicious lunch there. Take acclimatization walks in the evening and enjoy the scenery before you head inside your tents for the night.
Day 2
Trek from Palchhani Thach to Lohali
Today we will head to Loahli campsite. From Palchhani the trail follows through a coniferous forest of Pine and Birch towards Lohali. Its quite a steep ascent at the beginning followed by a steep descent after about an hour. En route, you will come across a stream crossing, your first water source, you can refill your water bottles here. Along the trail to Lohali, you will see blue arrow marks on the boulders, these arrows are to guide you on the trek so that you do not get lost. Soon the treeline will begin to end and subalpine vegetation of bushes and shrubs start and pretty soon around the 2 km mark, the entire valley opens up and you can see the boulder sections through which the Beas River flows. During winters, you can see an ice wall above the boulder section as well. Walking further, you will enter into the valley and come across another stream crossing. On the other side of the stream lies the Lohali campsite, an idyllic camping spot with beautiful mountain views.
Day 3
Trek from Lohali to Summit point via Lady Leg and back to Lohali
Today, We’ll begin our journey early in the morning due to the significant altitude gain ahead. As you climb uphill, you’ll reach a picturesque meadow known as Lady Leg, which also serves as the summit camp for the Friendship Peak Trek. Take a moment to rest here, soak in the surroundings, and snap some stunning photos in preparation for the final push to the summit.
Once you reach the ridge, be prepared for breathtaking views of the Beas Kund Lake. On a clear day, you’ll catch glimpses of the majestic Dhauladhar Range, Pir Panjal Range, Hanuman Tibba, Ladakhi, and Shitidhar. If the skies are exceptionally clear, you might even spot Indrasen and Deo Tibba. After spending some time at the summit, we’ll retrace our steps back to Lohali.
As you settle in for your last night in the mountains, savor the final moments of your unforgettable trek, with the journey wrapping up tomorrow.
