About the trek

This winter let’s spend our New Year’s in a completely new place, with no people on the trail. Secluded from the crowd and noises, we have an amazing surprise planned for you! A trip that allows you to enjoy the peace of the woods, the scenic campsites, and the enchanting views of mountains in seclusion.

This is an offbeat trail, which barely gets any footfall. Most commercial treks are packed around Christmas and New Year’s time. But not this trail!

This trek promises to be a great one for first timers and also for people who want to bring in the New Year’s and spend this holiday season amidst white winter, experiencing snow, and the magic of mountains in December!

  • Snowfall – Expected in December 
  • Temperatures:
    Autumn-Winter(September – December)
    Afternoon – 15 degrees,
    Nights – 0(Sept) to -10 (December)

Trek led by: Ravi Thakur – Ravi has been a trek guide  in and around Manali for the past six years. In this while, he has guided more than 100treks! A gem of a person, a trek with Ravi is sure to be an amazing cultural experience as well, since he loves talking about the local floral and fauna and the local culture, being born and brought up in the mountains.

The common perception is that alcohol makes you feel warmer, however it also dehydrates you & dehydration is a big problem while trekking. Hence consumption of alcohol is prohibited. Smoking around camps is not allowed. One can excuse themselves to catch a smoke.

Wild animals do not frequent camps. There has never been a case of wild animals harming any trekkers on our treks.

In all the camps where the accommodation is in guest house/home stays, there will be proper toilets. On the day of camping, we will have toilet tents, the standard, most hygienic way of answering nature’s call. A deep pit will be dug in the ground and once you’re done, you will have to use a shovel & throw in some dirt from a mound of dirt kept nearby. These will be dry toilets with no water hence please carry tissue roll for the toilet tent (refrain from using wetwipes as they are not bio degradable), for the rest of the days, you can carry rolls as per your convenience.

Yes, you are ideally expected to carry your backpack. But you do have an option of offloading your bags on a mule for an additional cost. The cost will be 350/ per day per bag.

We've been organizing treks for over two years and have had many female trekkers on our treks. 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 on our website
