Kullu, Manikaran and Manali Tour Itinerary

Day 1

Kasol - Manikaran – Tosh village by jeep (2400m) – trek from Tosh village – Buddhaban (3020m) Duration: 4 hours

Those who have not stayed the night with us, should meet us at Kasol/Manikaran bus stop. After assembling here, drive to Barsheni, the ascent to Barsheni from Manikaran takes about an hour over steep mountain roads. The trail starts from above the Barsheni village, with a commanding view of the Parvati valley dam that is under construction and the confluence of Parvati and Tosh rivers. The walk is a gradual climb from the Tosh village we follow the raging Tosh River through dense pine forests to Buddhaban, a largish meadow with a spring of its own and many rocks.

Day 2

Buddhaban – Sharam Thach (3505m) | 7 hours

It’s a long day’s walk as the path climbs from Buddhaban to cross the treeline. It then continues over meadows and rhododendron clusters to the high altitude meadow at Sharam Thach.

Day 3

Sharam Thach – Shamshi Thach (3800m) | 5 hours

An initial steep climb peters out to a narrow path over patches of snow. The Tosh River continues its noisy course throughout. After a short descent, you arrive at Shamshi Thach, beautifully set in a little bowl at the base of the valley. To the north is the Tosh Glacier, to the east the massive face of Kullu Makalu peak and the glacier descending from it.

Day 4

Exploratory day at Shamshi Thach Duration: 5 hours

There is a choice of either going up to Animal Pass (4560m) for the day or hiking up to the snout of the Tosh Glacier (4300m).

Day 5

Shamshi Thach – Kuta Thach (4100m) Duration: 4 hours

Walk to the snout of the Tosh Glacier and continue up on the path bordering the glacier to the small meadow at Kuta Thach.

Day 6

Kuta Thach – Sara Umga Pass (4700m) – Putiruni (3800m) | 8 hours

The day starts early as the pass needs to be crossed before noon. From the camp, the climb to the pass is steep over snow and scree. From the top of the pass, you get fabulous views of peaks in both Lahaul valley as well as the Tosh valley and other surrounding by-valleys. The descent on the other side takes you down to the meadow at Putiruni.

Day 7

Putiruni – Chota Dhara (3700m) | 6 hours

Another long day but this time the path is gradual with not too many ups or downs. Chota Dhara on the Manali – Kaza road will be the camp for the night.
