With excitement in the air and the mighty Himalayas standing tall, you settle in for a well-deserved rest—tomorrow, the real journey begins.
The real adventure begins today! After an early breakfast, a scenic drive to Solang Valley sets the stage for your Himalayan expedition. As you leave Manali behind, the road winds through dense deodar forests, past gushing streams, and towering peaks that seem to whisper tales of the wild. From Solang Valley, the trek kicks off with a gentle ascent towards Dhundi (3,150m), a pristine valley where the Beas River dances over rocky beds, and the air hums with the songs of Himalayan birds. Walking through lush green meadows and thick forests of oak and pine, the landscape feels straight out of a fairy tale. The snow-covered Hanuman Tibba looms in the distance, offering glimpses of the thrilling challenge ahead. As you push further, the trail leads to Bakar Thach (3,300m)—a breathtaking alpine pasture surrounded by towering peaks. The golden sunlight bathes the meadows, and the sight of shepherds grazing their flocks adds to the charm of this serene haven.As night falls, you gather around the warmth of a campfire, sharing stories under a sky bursting with a million stars. The crisp mountain air fills your lungs, and with the sound of distant waterfalls lulling you to sleep, you realize—the adventure has truly begun
With the first rays of sunlight painting the sky in hues of pink and gold, you set off from Bakar Thach, leaving behind the lush meadows and venturing deeper into the rugged Himalayan terrain. The trail winds through moraine fields and rocky outcrops, leading you toward one of the most iconic spots of the trek—the legendary Beas Kund Glacier (3,700m). As you step onto the ancient glacier, the crunch of ice beneath your boots and the cold mountain air remind you of nature’s raw power. This is the very source of the Beas River, where sage Vyas is said to have meditated centuries ago. The icy expanse stretches endlessly, reflecting the towering peaks of Mt. Deo Tibba (6,001m) and Indrasan (6,221m)—a sight that leaves you awestruck. Crossing the glacier with caution, you make your way towards Lady Leg Base Camp (4,100m), aptly named for its steep ascent that tests your endurance. As you climb higher, the landscape transforms into an icy wilderness, with deep crevasses and towering cliffs adding to the thrill. Finally, you arrive at base camp, where the crisp Himalayan wind carries whispers of adventure. As the sun sets behind the jagged peaks, the sky explodes in shades of fiery orange and deep purple. You huddle in your tents, sipping on warm soup, gazing at the starlit sky, and feeling the thrill of the mighty Hanuman Tibba (5,982m) calling. Tomorrow, the real test begins
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. From here, Hanuman Tibba (5,982m) stands like a silent guardian, waiting for those brave enough to take on the challenge. As night falls, you crawl into your sleeping bag, mentally preparing for the next push toward Advanced Camp.
With the first light of dawn peeking over the peaks, you pack up and begin the steep ascent towards Advanced Camp (5,000m). The climb is grueling yet exhilarating, as you navigate through endless snowfields, icy ridges, and deep crevasses. Every step requires focus, every breath is a reminder of the altitude, and every glance reveals a landscape more surreal than before. Crossing sheer ice slopes, you feel the raw power of the Himalayas beneath your feet. As you push higher, the winds howl, the temperature drops, and the views become otherworldly—glaciers gleam under the sun, peaks rise like jagged spires, and the valley below looks like a distant dream. After 5-6 hours of relentless trekking, you finally reach Advanced Camp—a remote and rugged outpost perched on a glacier moraine. Setting up tents on this icy terrain feels surreal; you are now truly in the heart of the mountains, with nothing but ice, rock, and sky surrounding you. As the sun dips behind Hanuman Tibba, the world turns into a frozen wilderness bathed in moonlight. Huddled in your tent, sipping warm soup, you feel the weight of the challenge ahead—tomorrow, the summit push begins!
The moment of truth has arrived. In the freezing pre-dawn hours, you step into the darkness, headlamps cutting through the icy silence, breath visible in the thin air. 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.
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.
The final leg of your Himalayan adventure begins as you leave behind the serene meadows of Bakar Thach, trekking back through the lush forests and glacial streams of Dhundi. With Hanuman Tibba towering behind you, there’s a quiet satisfaction in every step—you’ve conquered the peak, and now the mountains bid you farewell. Reaching Solang Valley, the sight of bustling activity feels almost surreal after days in the wilderness. 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.
As the first light touches the peaks, you take one last deep breath of the crisp mountain air, letting the memories of the past days sink in. 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. You came as a traveler; you return as a mountaineer, a conqueror of peaks, a seeker of the extraordinary. As you reach Delhi, the mountains may seem far away—but their call will always remain. Until the next adventure.
