Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : Assemble in Manali – drive to Solang (2483 m) – Dhundi (2840 m) – Bakarthatch (3270 m) – drive 30 km, trek 10 km (5-6 hrs)

  Participants should meet us at Ram Bagh Chowk, Mall Road, Manali.
  After breakfast, drive to the Solang valley up to the Dhundi road-link to being the first leg of the trek. Solang boasts of some of the best skiing slopes of India and is the starting point of many treks in Himachal Pradesh.
  Gradually ascending from the valley for around 8 km, the trail follows river Beas, many times crossing the stream from one side to the other, getting us to Dhundi. The quaint little mountain hamlet that has nothing to offer save scenic beauty and resonating silence, Dhundi is another alpine meadow full of wildflowers.
  The trek further takes us over loosely held boulders and moraines of a dying glacier at places. We continue up to a scenic campsite at the pastures of Bakarthach which is a high-altitude meadow and literally means ‘shepherd’s field’. These enchanting meadows are very popular pastures for the Gaddis – a hardy nomadic tribe of shepherds, and it’s easy to find flocks of sheep grazing peacefully in this pastoral idyll. These sun and windswept meadows will be a feast for your senses. Set up camp for overnight stay.
