This
is one of the most delightful treks
in the Manali region, affording views
of lush green valleys, towering snow-clad
mountains and barren hills with surrealistic
forms and shapes. It's an excellent
option for the trekker who is reasonably
fit. Leaving the Manali valley, the
trek proceeds through forests of walnut,
oak and the occasional alder. Once atop
the Hampta Pass (4270m), another spectacular
panorama of peaks appears.
This is a moderate trek of five days
that begins from close to Manali in
the Kullu Valley and ends in Lahaul
and the Chandra Valley. The trek is
also possible in the Monsoons when the
wild flowers are in bloom and can be
best appreciated. The inhabitants of
Lahaul are Buddhists and follow the
Dalai Lama. The language spoken is a
dialect of Tibetan. This beautiful trek
can be combined with other treks that
finish in Ladakh or Spiti or be combined
with a Rafting trip on the Chandra River. |
