Trip Overview.

This trip is an ideal introduction to the world of trekking, perfect for both beginners and young teenagers. The 6-day adventure includes 3 days of trekking with 2 nights of camping, leading up to the stunning 360-degree viewpoint at Rawi Khoi. Before the trek, we will spend a day in Manali for conditioning and training.

Our accommodation in Manali will be at The Himalayan, a premier boutique luxury resort nestled amidst apple and cherry orchards, with breathtaking views of the snow-capped mountain peaks. It provides the perfect setting for 2 days of acclimatization and preparation before we begin our trek.

Trek Overview.

Secluded from the crowds and noises of the city, this trek allows you to enjoy the peace of woods, the scenic campsites, and the enchanting view of mountains. It is a rewarding trail, and doesn’t see much footfall, making it ideal to find oneself in solitude with nature in the outdoors.

The trail takes us to through wonderful coniferous forests and pleasant grazing pastures of the Gaddi shepherds. Make sure to carry a pair of binoculars to spot some exotic Himalayan species of birds. All of this with a promise of magnificent views of the Deo Tibba peak (6001m) and its huge hanging glaciers, and the towering snow-capped mountains of Pir Panjal range to accompany you during your climbs!
