Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : Manali to Jispa (6-8 hrs) 137 kms

  It is advised that you start as early as you can from Manali to avoid traffic congestion at Rohtang. Cross the first high altitude pass of your journey and enjoy beautiful vistas all day long. There is mostly a lot of slush towards the top of Rohtang Pass and roads too are narrow so drive carefully. Jispa is a beautifully located town and in my opinion, you must stay at one of the camps there rather than Keylong. Depending upon your speed, this journey can take you anywhere between 6-8 hours.

  • Hotspots : Rohtang Pass

• Day 2 : Jispa to Tsokar (7-8 hrs) 225 kms

  Start easy by 8-9 AM from Jispa, cross Baralacha La, Lachulung La, Nakeela on the way. Also see two small lakes, Deepak Tal and Sooraj Tal and witness the beauty and challenging nature of Manali Leh highway. Gata Loops are another major attraction. After Sarchu, you will cross into the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Reach tsokar lake by evening and check into the hotel.

• Day 3 : Tsokar - Tsomoriri (3-4 hrs)

  After breakfast retrace the route down to Puga Sumdo and then follow the road across the tsomoriri lake, on the way the maginficant hot spring and the sulphur soil on the side way of Puga village road witness the beauty of nature . hot spring area wetland and habitat of many migratory birds. The Rupsho plateau which is home of the Changa nomads and support many rare wild life species.
  The beautiful multi shades of blue color offered by this lake along with a picturesque landscape around gives this place an extremely romantic feel and breathtaking feel. However, in actual reality the place is extremely harsh and difficult to survive especially in winters. There is only one cemented accommodation available around the lake and the facilities like electricity, medical aid, hot running water, western toilets etc. are rare to find. The lack of oxygen makes survival difficult if your body is not properly acclimatized to its high altitude and hence, one need to plan his/her journey extremely carefully to make it acute mountain sickness free vacation.
