Key Landmarks
Staying At
Trek Chobia Village to Baggi / Dalotu
A steep ascent leaving civilization entirely. The trail winds through incredibly thick and dark deodar and pine forests. You are deeply inside the wilderness now.
Key Landmarks
Staying At
Trek Dalotu to Alyas (Chamba Basecamp)
Break the treeline and enter the brutal alpine zone. The trail is replaced by massive boulder-hopping alongside glacial streams. Establish base camp as close to the glacier snout as safety permits.
Key Landmarks
Staying At
Summit Chobia Pass (16,350 ft) and Descend to Lahaul Base
Start at 2 AM. Rope up to cross the fractured glacier. The final 1,000 feet require kicking steps into a terrifyingly steep snow wall. At the summit, the environment changes instantly to red, dry rock. Descend a dangerously loose scree slope into Lahaul.
Key Landmarks
Staying At
Trek Lahaul Base to Triloknath / Rapé
A massive, hot walk through the dust and stark beauty of Lahaul. Arrive at the famous Triloknath temple (revered by both Hindus and Buddhists), marking the end of the expedition.
Key Landmarks
Staying At
Drive Triloknath to Manali via Keylong
Drive through the Chenab valley toward Keylong before crossing beneath the Rohtang range via the Atal Tunnel into Kullu valley and Manali.
