Spiti Valley Trip

Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 :

  Arrive in Manali. Stay in hotel.
• Day 2 : Manali to Tak-sa or Rangrik (7 hours driving)

  Manali - Rothang - Chandra Tal - Tak-Sa (camping) or Rangrik (hotel)
  Leave Manali by jeep, pass through Rothang and then towards Chandra Tal (Moon Lake) where an approx. 20 min. walk takes you to the lake. Drive through the green Kullu Valley to the first pass. The road follows the Chandra River in a surreal surrounding full of high mountains, glaciers and big walls all around. From the Kunzum Pass (4540m) on the walk to the lake you can enjoy looking at high Himalayan Peaks including Lalana (6265m) and Papasura (6451m). Then descend to either Tak-Sa or Rangrik in the Spiti Valley. You may camp in Tak-Sa overnight or stay in a hotel in Rangrik. After a quick "chai", we start to hike through the spread out Oak forest of Gulaba- 3000m. The climb has to be slow for acclimatization and also to make a good track for the porters who will carry all the base camp material. The camp is set just bellow the tree line, at 3200m, from where the entire Solang Valley, including the Hanuman Tibba peak and the Dashaur peak near Rohtang Pass, are visible. Camp overnight.
