Tour Itinerary
Meet our Trivikal representative at Manali base camp. After a hearty breakfast, drive to Jobra, the trek’s starting point. Begin a short hike through pine forests and beside the Rani Nallah river to Chika — your first campsite surrounded by Dhauladhar views.
The trail ascends gradually through wildflowers, stream crossings, and rocky terrain. You’ll start seeing dramatic changes in the landscape as you reach the alpine campsite at Balu Ka Ghera, perfect for stargazing beneath towering peaks.
Today’s the most challenging and rewarding day. You’ll climb steep ridges to Hampta Pass (14,100 ft), where the Himalayan views will take your breath away. After a short break at the summit, descend through snowy paths and scree to reach Shea Goru, a tranquil valley near a glacial stream.
Hike down to Chhatru, where the green fades into Spiti’s brown and grey desert hues. After lunch, drive to Chandratal Lake (weather permitting), a surreal high-altitude lake shaped like a crescent moon. Return to Chhatru for your last night under the stars.
Bid farewell to the mountains and drive back to Manali via the iconic Atal Tunnel, reflecting on the stunning journey you’ve just completed.

Know Before You Go
Before you lace up your boots and head into the wild, here are a few essential guidelines to ensure your trek is safe, sustainable, and enjoyable:
Travel Essentials
- Always carry a valid government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, Passport, etc.) — mandatory for check-ins and permits.
- Acclimatization is key! Spend at least a day in Manali to help your body adjust to high altitudes and lower oxygen levels.
Health & Safety
- Follow your trek leader’s instructions carefully — they’re trained to navigate both the trail and emergencies.
- Bring a personal first-aid kit and any essential medications. Though basic medical support is provided, your personal meds are best.
- Trivikal reserves the right to alter the itinerary in case of natural calamities or unforeseen events. While we ensure minimal disruption, such changes are beyond the package coverage.
Packing & Luggage
- Pack light. Overpacking leads to discomfort and fatigue during the trek.
- Carry warm clothing, thermals, windproof jackets, and trekking shoes with good grip — the weather can shift rapidly.
- Charging points for phones and laptops may be limited or unavailable at campsites — plan accordingly with power banks.
Practical Pointers
- Services missed due to late arrivals, personal issues, or any other reason will not be reimbursed.
- Personal expenses like snacks, additional meals, souvenirs, and gear rentals are not included in the package.
- Use of plastic bags is discouraged. Help preserve the fragile Himalayan ecosystem by carrying reusable containers and bags.

- All vegetarian meals from Day 1 lunch to Day 5 breakfast
- Morning & evening tea with snacks
