Starting from June.
Our cab will pick you up from Manali from our campsite This trek starts from jobri nallah.. We start our trek along Hampta Nallah (Water Stream). It rises sharply over the left bank of the stream and takes us along a dense forest, the path levels up and through a long walk in beautiful green pastures, we reach the magnificient camping site of Chikka. We can see the mighty Indrasan Peak rising high above infront of us as we camp here. Also nearby there is a very beautiful waterfall. We camp here tonight.
We trek 8 kilometers today to reach our next campsite destination balu ka ghera. It's just below Hampta Pass and offers us a scenic view of glaciers and snow laden peaks. There's a lot of boulder hopping we will be doing today. In the way we will come across several beautiful alpine flowers and meadows as we walk along the river and occasionally get a chance for some adventurous crossings. Balu ka Ghera is layered with sand and dust bought down by the river. Hence the name "Balu" which means Sand. We camp here tonight beside the river enjoying the pristine views.
Today it will be a steep ascent of 6-8 hours. The trail is along the river lined by yellow flowers. The climb is very steep and Tax you completely. You will come across wonderful views of snow clad mountain peaks and cross several glaciers. The top of the pass offers a grand panoramic view of the Snow Clad Pir Panjal Ranges and the Mighty Deo Tibba closeby. Descent on the other side is very steep and tricky, TrekNgo guides will help you, After some Zigzag and a steep descent we come across a valley where Tall Snow Clad mountains will surround us from three sides and an open gulley leads us to our base camp to Sheagoru after a leveled but tiring walk.. We have reached Lahaul Valley now and you can observe that we are way past the tree line. There is a small river stream flowing nearby. Sheagoru is named from the word Shea (which means extremely cold). The name is aptly kept because of the extremely cold weather and wind blowing here. We camp here tonight beside the river side. Expect sub zero temperatures and prepare accordingly.
Today the path will traverse along slippery soil, moraine and loose scree for some time till we reach flat grasslands. We walk here for some time along the nallah flowing from Indrasan Glacier. We have to cross glaciers and water streams a couple of times before we reach Chatru. From here we will see numerous water streams flowing nearby. We will camp alongside one of the stream. Chatru is a lovely camping site. We will get lovely views of the different mountain ranges.The Chandra river flows in full swing right below.
Today at Chatru campsite, If roads are clear and weather conditions are ideal, we can proceed towards Chandra Tal or Moon Lake in Lahaul and Spiti 2 hours drive. At an altitude of 4270 Meters approx., mostly surrounded with snow, this deep blue-water lake has a circumference of 2.5 Kilometers. It is the source of the violent Chandra River. Mountain ranges having snow capped peaks and snow slopes around the valley measures from 3000 Meters to 6500 Meters approximately. The name of the lake originates from its crescent shape.
