Drive-by jeep taxi from pickup point at your hotel in Kaza to Mudh village, last village in Pin Valley where you will start your trek early the next morning.
Starting from Mudh early in the morning, we ascent up gradually sloping terrain to a Ghurgul, a grassy campsite located on a meadow overlooking Pin Valley far below.
Today we begin the steep ascent to Pin Parvati Pass basecamp located at 4500m. This is the last camp in Pin Valley.
Slow and steady, we will climb steeply to cross the Pin Parvati pass in one day. Walking on packed snow and ice, everyone will be roped together as the crevasses may not be easily visible.
Walking over glacier and loose scree, these slopes can be challenging but hugely rewarding when we reach the grassy shores of Mantalaie Lake.
Trekking downhill from Mantalaie Lake through flowery meadows, rich in semi-precious gems.
Pandu Pul means bridge in the local dialect, the name derives from the unique rock bridges found on this leg of the journey.
This is a challenging part of the trek due to the steep and difficult terrain leaving Thakurkuan. The area is part of the Kanawar wildlife sanctuary and one may encounter Himalayan brown bears or even snow leopard on the higher slopes.
The route now takes us into heavily wooded slopes covered in dense pine and birch forests. The local word for birch is bhuz . Camp in a lush green campsite near a spring. Khir Ganga is a holy place with a hot water spring and a small temple to Lord Shiva. You will welcome the chance for a hot bath after 9 days of trekking!
The trek becomes a pleasant walk as we near our destination and go deeper into the wooded slopes of Kullu.
From the forest clearing campsite at Kalga, we make oru way to the holy hot springs of Manikaran, the end destination for our trek. You will feel an overwhelming sense of accomplishment once you reach the holy place of Manikaran. Legend has it that Lord Shiva and his wife spent 12 years meditating and relaxing at the hot springs of Manikaran and it has important value in Hindu faith.
Vehicle transport will collect you from Manikaran and bring you back to Manali for a night in a hotel!
This is the last day of the trek with sweet Memories Lahaul Spiti and Kullu Manali
