This is a custom departure tour and so please write to us for prices and more info on this trek.
Arrive in Manali in the morning for the Kalihani Pass Trek. Walk around town and orient yourself to your surroundings. The group meets for a trip orientation in the evening by the trip leader at the hotel. Overnight in a hotel.
The climb is through thick forests. As one gains height in this steep climb, the distinct views of different faces of Indrasan, Deo Tibba and peaks of Bara Shigri glacier open up. In the last leg, the path turns to the right and one traverses the ridge horizontally and enters the campsite on an alpine plateau studded with a thick growth of alpine flowers.
The height gain on this day is approximately 1 km. The trek is through a steep ridge below Khanpari Tibba (4000m). From this point, one can have an expansive view of Manali, situated on the left bank of River Beas and the whole upper Kullu valley, which appears swathed in the different colours of the season.
A long day today. The trail proceeds over open meadows initially followed by a steep descent to a stream. Crossing it, the path continues in a steep climb for about three hours until we arrive at the base of the Kalihani Pass. Make sure you catch the views of Deo Tibba and Indrasan peaks from the campsite.
Today will be a long day with a steep climb to the pass crossing a stretch of scree, a moraine, and the Kalihani glacier. Take time at the pass to get a splendid 360-degree view of hanging glaciers, the Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar ranges. A steep descent will bring you back to the camp.
We retrace our steps to Riyali Thach and go further to Rani Sui, where there is a small mountain pond.
Today’s is an easy walk downhill to the meadow at Bogi Thach. The path winds through thick pine forests with cedar and deodar trees.
Continue downhill till the village of Shegli from where a vehicle will pick us you up and drops us back to Manali. Kalihani Pass Trek ends!
