Manali is well connected from Delhi/ Chandigarh. You have regular bus service from both Delhi and Chandigarh. The nearest airport is Kullu. One can take a cab from Kullu to Manali which costs approximately 2000 INR. You also get regular bus service from Kullu to Manali. Note, it is advisable to book a cab to avoid inconvenience.
Plan your travel such that you arrive in Manali on day 1 by 10:00 AM (latest) and book your return (departure) from Manali either on day 7 (last day of the trek) after dinner (after 8:00/ 9:00 PM).

A certified trek leader, a guide, cook & porters will accompany you during the trek.
We’ve been organizing treks for over five years and have had many female trekkers trek with us. In fact, a lot of them come solo for treks. There has never been a complaint about the atmosphere of a trek, about other trekkers or our professionalism. They have all been kind enough to leave a review.
In all the camps where the accommodation is in guest houses/ home stays, there will be proper toilets.
On the day of camping, we will have toilet tents (with a dry pit toilet), the most hygienic way of answering nature’s call.
A dry pit toilet is an eco-friendly sanitation solution featuring a pit dug into the ground, topped with a toilet seat and a wrought iron stand. Near the toilet, a pile of mud, sand, or limestone is provided for covering waste after use, facilitating rapid breakdown of fecal matter due to increased microbial activity. This method eliminates the need for water, thereby preventing contamination of nearby water sources, as water toilets are prohibited at campsites.
While toilet paper is available, please use it sparingly to avoid overloading the pit, which can take years to decompose. Please refrain from using wet wipes as they are not bio degradable or use bio-degradable wipes.
You will be sleeping in twos or threes in your tents in sleeping bags. The sleeping bags are snug and comfortable. If you are used to sleeping on a pillow, do carry an inflatable pillow or any small cushion that could provide you pillow-like comfort to sleep.
On day 1, you may get bathing facilities at the home stay. Through the rest of the trek, there are no bathing facilities at campsites.
Tents do not have charging stations.
No. You will not have mobile network from day 1, 03:00 PM till day 7, 05:00 PM.
