- Drive towards Kalga 25kms in the direction of Parvati Valley one of the offbeat and unexplored areas of the Himachal Pradesh.
- You will drive all the way along with river and some beautiful and old architectural hamlets.

Day 2: Kalga (2,280M) - Kheerganga (2,960M)
⮟ ⮝- The 2nd day starts early. After an early morning tea and breakfast, we stretch our muscles a little for the climb ahead and After a short warm-up session, we get our move on by 9 in the morning.
- Before we start our trek up, we also need to wrap up the campsite, pack our tents, get our bags ready and finish breakfast - we will need all the fuel we can get to reach our destination for the day - Khir Ganga.
- A lot of streams that need crossing welcome you all through the trail. It is not overly strenuous though, for there are plenty of rest points all the way to the campsite for the day. Kheerganga is a small colony of temporary tent shelters. It’s bang in the middle of a massive meadow with a hot water spring just by your tents. If you decide to jump into this pool of warmth to take a bath, know that it is likely to be your last during this entire trip!
- You will pitch up tents on beautiful meadows evening snacks and a small bonfire with dinner.
- Overnight stay at tents.
Day 3: Kheerganga (2,779M) to Tunda Bhuj (3200M)
⮟ ⮝- We get our move on by around 8:30 AM. A piping hot breakfast is just what we need to get us ready for our hike in the Tunda Bhuj.
- We make an early start from Kheerganga through the flower-strewn meadows on to our campsite for the day. At the beginning, the trail is muddy as opposed to the slightly rocky terrain we encountered the day before. The trek today is mostly through flat terrain with a few patches of ascent. It takes you through dense forests. More than the climb itself, there is a higher likelihood of delay to get to the campsite because of the picturesque landscape which might demand frequent and long halts just to soak all the beauty in. It is commonplace to chance upon families living in these thick forests going about their lives as you navigate your way through the trail.
- The last bit for today is fairly steep, in a mucky terrain followed by a short walk through the meadows. When you start seeing the massive, foamy waterfalls on the other side of the river, lending to the dreamlike vibe of the place, know that you have reached your campsite for the day!
Day 4: Tunda Bhuj (3,200M) to Thakur Kuan (3,620M)
⮟ ⮝- We will start the day right after an early breakfast. If you feel bad about leaving the beautiful campsite of Tunda Bhuj behind, worry not! The route today is strewn with meadows and waterfalls too. We have 400M of height to gain today, which means that it is a fairly easy day except for the tricky section at an hour’s mark from the beginning of the trail. It tends to get a bit precarious because of the possibility of landslides. Since we are now slowly moving towards the end of the tree line, the terrain starts to get a bit rocky – it would serve you well to exercise caution on this section. Our campsite for the day is a vast expanse of pasture land right next to the bustling Parvati River. There is a trolley bridge close to the campsite which you can check out in case you reach well before dark.
Day 5: Thakur Kuan (3,620M) to Odi Thatch (3,815M)
⮟ ⮝- we have to start with, remembering to carry all our other gear and especially not forgetting a head torch which will prove to be extremely essential during a night climb.
- This massive boulder bang in the middle of the ferocious Parvati River is the first bridge which will make your palms sweat. It goes by the name of Pandu Pul 1. Just when you would have recuperated from this little river-crossing-in-style adventure, you will come across another 20 feet boulder just chilling in the middle of the thundering river giving you a strong sense of deja-vu! This one’s called Pandu Pul 2.
- After this queer, double adventure, the trail now simmers down and is a fairly straight walk till Odi Thatch.
- The more our chances of getting unwell and hence, it is extremely important to lose height as quickly as possible
- overnight stay in tents
Day 6: Odi Thatch (3,815M) to Mantalai (4,096M)
⮟ ⮝- Enjoy a delicious morning breakfast and with packed lunch you will trek for 2-3 hour to reach until the unexplored lake (kund).
- This wide open land sees the merging of these many water bodies and is a marvel to witness. From Mini Mantalai, to get to the campsite for today, we now have to make a steep ascent of close to 300M which is manageable to negotiate. On the other side of the ascent lies the glacial lake, Mantalai – our campsite for the day on the banks of the lake surrounded by the mighty Himalayas.
- Explore and spend some good times at the lake with photography and take lunch and rest for a while and by evening get back to our basecamp.
- Overnight stay at tents.
Day 7: Mantalai (4,096M) to Base Camp I (4,800M)
⮟ ⮝- Enjoy a delicious morning breakfast and with packed lunch you will trek start, the trail is a bit muddy with large sections of loose scree which require extreme caution to be navigated. Once this section is crossed, we begin the long and hard ascent for the day. On reaching the spur, the trail eases up a bit with gradual ascent until we hit the moraine section of the climb. The moraine section is only a kilometer but takes the longest time to traverse through. It is a fairly steep climb made much more difficult by the rocky terrain. On reaching the campsite, it won’t be long before you realize that we are camping on the edge of the Parvati glacier. Even otherwise, but especially on moonlit nights, the glacier is a sight to behold!
Day 8: Base Camp I (4,800M) to Base Camp II (4,800M) via Pin Parvati Pass (5,289M)

- Some nourishment like packets of dry fruit, eggs and sandwiches will be provided because today will involve a whole lot of walking.
- The wee hours of the night are important and require brisk action - putting on the gear that we have to start with, remembering to carry all our other gear and especially not forgetting a head torch which will prove to be extremely essential during a night climb.
- Navigating this rocky landscape with your snow boots and crampons is a whole different ball game.
- After 3 hours of maneuvering this terrain, you hit some smooth slopes in the mountain.
- These are relatively easier on the feet although they are much steeper and hence require the use of some technique and the ice axe at your disposal.

- The trail descends down sharply for around 3Km. Another 1.5kms will bring you to a river crossing section post which the descent continues. Three more kilometers and we cross the river over to the other side. We continue walking on this trail by the river till we reach our campsite for the day. After around 1.5 km there is a stream crossing, after that the decent still continues. The trail after crossing the river is fairly flat and easy which is a welcome change of pace after the last two days which have been tough.
Day 10: Wichkurung Thatch (3,500M) to Mudh (3,970M) to Kaza (3,800M)
⮟ ⮝- Enjoy a delicious morning breakfast and with packed lunch you will trek for Mudh Village + 4hrs Drive to Kaza.
- The trail today enters a wide-open valley with numerous streams spread across its floor. With the colors of the earth, spilling out of its dry cracks in the form of tufts and a strong smell of the herbs following you on the trail like a stalker, we stop for lunch near the water. Our destination is not too far from here. This trail leads us straight to the Mudh Village in the desolate, galactic Pin Valley. After you explore the peculiar mountain culture and are done introducing your taste buds to their local Himalayan cuisine, we hit the road again, this time to drive two hours to the town of Kaza. This is where we end our trail for the trek. Expect to reach Kaza late evening. Do remember to book your accommodation in this town before you lose network at the beginning of the trek.
Day 11: Kaza (3,800M) to Manali (2,050M)
⮟ ⮝- Enjoy a delicious morning breakfast and Kaza is the largest township and a commercial hub of the Spiti valley. Famous for its monasteries and local shopping, there are a lot of small hamlets close to Kaza, for you to explore. A window into how people co-exist with the exotic wildlife of the terrain, their peculiar houses, lifestyle and means of livelihood in this barren land are every bit as fascinating as the trail for the trek.
