Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : Manali to Chika via Jobra

  The trekking jaunt begins from Manali to Jobra in vehicle. Manali is already at an elevation of 6,700 ft above sea level. So, it is a fantastic destination to acclimatize your body before commencing the trek. It is a two-hour and forty minute ride to Jobra. Jobra is perched at an altitude of 9,800 ft. On the first day you will reach a loftiness of 10,100 ft and cover up two to three hours of trek. The trek on foot begins from Allain Guhugal Hydel Project junction. After crossing the main road, take the small path that ushers to the forest of pine trees. You will also spot other ranges of trees like maple, deodar, toss and oak. The view is refreshing. The slant that is supposed to be climbed is an easy one and not very steep. Twenty minutes into the trek, you will reach a bend that overlooks a verdant green meadow tossed with small rocks. Enjoy the milieu for a couple of minutes and head towards the meadow. The Rani nallah comes into sight which flows directly in the middle of the meadow. You will also sight herds of sheep and cows grazing in the field. The sight looks exactly as if taken out from a fable. You can pass through the meadow or climb up the hill on the left hand side. Either way you will reach Chika which is at the end of the vast meadow. But, climbing the hill and descending down to Chika is a simplified and easier route. Chika camp site is a huge, commodious expanse of green. The Rani River trickles in the middle makes this place idyllic for setting up the tents.

• Day 2 : Chika to Balu ka Ghera

  The subsequent destination is Balu ka Ghera which is non-observable from the Chika campground. But you can make an idea as it falls to the right. Chase the left bank of the river that will come into sight at your right hand side. The passage leads to a slope of boulders and jagged terrain. The path is effortless and can be accomplished without any trouble. You will find an entire stretch of the river's right bank queued with exquisite dwarf Rhododendron trees. These trees will cover the lower and the central area and assortment of silver birch trees cover up the upper section. Once you have reached the end of silver birch trees, wait a moment and look back to awe-inspiring range of Dhauladhar snow-ridden peaks in front of you. The view is very picturesque. You will reach a pristine stream waterfall to the left at a distant. Best place to fill in your bottles. After crossing the waterfall, the subsequent route is towards the river to your left. You can go to the other side only by crossing the stream by wetting your feet. The water is bone-chilling and will surely prick your feet. You can also jump from one rock to another in the stream and get to the opposite side. You must have finished half of the day's hike when you enter Jwara. Jwara is a tantalizing sheltered valley; huge snow-decked rocks at one side and the valley drops down to the river on the other side. You will feel like immersing yourself in the charm of God's nature. You will find snows soften into the river and cattle grazing the land. In front of the scenery is snow-clad mountains, and at the rear lies, the Hampta Pass. From here, the trail would be by the river side which will show the way you to another rectangular valley. The path is covered with multi-hued flowers. The last of the tree lines disappears out of the sight and is left behind. It will take another half an hour or so to reach the end of the valley, which is the finishing part of Jwara. After Jwara, the path is a slope shrouded under snows and rocks. The closing of the path is Balu ka Ghera, the name has nothing to do with the place. The place is adorned with snow and greens whereas the name translates to mound of sand. But it is said that this place was formed with the sands and dust deposited by the river. Balu ka Ghera campground is a flat ground amidst the mountains that you will cross the next day to reach the pass. Balu ka Ghera is set at an altitude of 11, 900 ft.

Relish the dazzling sight for sometime in the pass, savor your lunch, and then get ready for the subsequent descent to Siagoru. The slump is trickier than the journey to the pass.
