Day by Day Breakdown
Drive Kullu to Trailhead, Trek to Forest Camp
After a brief drive from the main Kullu valley, leave the road behind. The trail ascends steeply through apple orchards before disappearing instantly into the dark, quiet canopy of massive Deodar cedar trees.
Key Landmarks
Staying At
Trek Forest Camp to High Alpine Meadow (Thach)
Climb through the rhododendron belt. As you approach 10,500 feet, the trees abruptly vanish, revealing sweeping, golden-green alpine grass slopes. Camp near a stream used by local shepherds.
Key Landmarks
Staying At
Summit Khauli Pass (13,000 ft) and Return to Meadow
A non-technical but steep push to the ridge line. There are no massive rocks or glaciers to cross, just an endless grassy incline leading to a perfectly U-shaped saddle. The view extends tens of miles. Descend back to the high camp for a celebratory evening.
Key Landmarks
Staying At
Descend High Meadow to Trailhead & Drive to Kullu
Retrace your steps, plunging 5,000 feet back through the forests to the roadhead. Board your vehicle for the short drive back to your hotel in Kullu or Manali.
