  • Day 6: Mastering the Mountains – Rest & Training at Base Camp

    Today is all about preparing for the big climb. At 4,100m, the air is thinner, and your body needs time to adjust. As the morning sun casts golden hues over the surrounding peaks, you step out of your tent, feeling the icy breeze on your face—this is where climbers turn into mountaineers. After a hearty breakfast, the training begins. Under the guidance of experienced mountaineers, you learn to use crampons for gripping icy surfaces, ice axes for cutting steps in the glacier, and ropes & harnesses for crevasse rescue techniques. Walking across a simulated ice wall, you feel the thrill of true alpine climbing. The rest of the day is spent hydrating, stretching, and soaking in the breathtaking Himalayan views.

The ascent is steep and relentless—treacherous snow slopes, towering ice walls, and razor-sharp ridges push your endurance to its limits. Each step is a battle against exhaustion, but the dream of the summit keeps you moving. As first light kisses the Himalayas, the world transforms—golden hues illuminate the towering Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar ranges, casting long shadows over glaciers below. The final ridge looms ahead; with one last push, you stand atop Hanuman Tibba (5,982m), the highest peak in the region. The 360-degree panorama is beyond breathtaking—snow-clad peaks stretching into eternity, glaciers glistening like frozen rivers, and valleys lost in the clouds. In this moment, every challenge, every hardship, fades into pure triumph. After a brief celebration, the descent begins, navigating the same perilous slopes with careful precision. 10-12 hours after you began, you reach Base Camp, exhausted yet exhilarated. As you collapse into your tent under a star-studded sky, one thought lingers—you have conquered the mighty Hanuman Tibba.

  • Day 9: Descending to Bakar Thach – A Walk Through the Clouds

    With the summit conquered and memories etched in your soul, it's time to descend from the icy heights. As the sun rises over Hanuman Tibba, you take one last look at the towering peak before setting off. The trail retraces its way through the vast snowfields, frozen moraines, and glacial streams, each step now feeling lighter with the weight of the challenge behind you. As you descend, the harsh icy terrain gives way to lush alpine meadows, where the air is thick with the scent of pine and wildflowers. The towering peaks still watch over you, but now, instead of an imposing challenge, they feel like silent guardians of your triumph. After 6-7 hours of trekking, you reach the familiar Bakar Thach, its rolling green pastures and grazing sheep a welcome sight after days of snow and ice. With the evening sun casting a golden glow over the valley, you unwind by the campsite, reminiscing about the journey so far.Under a sky bursting with stars, the mountains hum their silent lullaby, and you rest—knowing you've lived an adventure that will stay with you forever.

A short drive winds you back to Manali, where warm showers, cozy cafés, and the lively streets of Mall Road welcome you like an old friend. As the evening sets in, you gather with your team for a well-earned celebration—toasting to summit victories, frozen nights, and the unforgettable beauty of the Himalayas. With stories to share and a heart full of adventure, you sleep one last time in the shadow of the mountains—knowing they’ll always call you back.

  • Day 11: Farewell to the Mountains – Manali to Delhi

From icy slopes to starry nights, from the grueling ascent to the victorious summit—Hanuman Tibba has left its mark on your soul. Boarding your bus or private vehicle, the journey back to Delhi begins. As the Himalayas slowly fade in the rearview mirror, you replay the adventure in your mind—the thrill of the climb, the serenity of the valleys, and the friendships forged in the face of challenge. The rhythmic hum of the road and the distant glow of city lights signal your return to civilization, but something inside has changed.
