Day Wise Plan

Day-1: Arrive at Haripur basecamp

The participants will de-board the Bus at ‘Patlikuhal’, about 15 kms short of New Manali Bus stand. From this pick-up point, the guests will be driven to our Base in Haripur. Unwind at our base camp located in an orchard in Haripur. After breakfast explore Naggar/ Manali. Return back at base camp to chat with the team over bonfire and dinner.

Day-2: Haripur - Chakki – Pulag (3 hours)

After having a early breakfast (8 am) we will then drive to Chakki to commence the trek. From Chakki, the trek is 2-3 hours long and everything will be under snow. Pulag is located high above the village of Naggar and is the beginning of the path that leads to Chandrakhani Pass and Malana on the other side. Once we reach Pulag, you can relax at a local home stay. Enjoy some good food and a warm bonfire before a cozy sleep.

Day-3: Pulag - Chandrakhani Pass - back to Pulag

Early in the morning, our trek will begin from Pulag. Tread through white meadows and woods with snow capped trees. As we go higher, the amount of snow gradually increases. We shall travel as far as the weather will allow before settling down for some snow hiking and photographs. Enjoy some time at an altitude of over 3200 mts in a  winter landscape. After a while, we will head back to Pulag by retracing our steps. Once there, enjoy some warmth and company over dinner and bonfire.  

Day-4: Pulag - Chakki - Haripur

Start the day with a healthy breakfast before leaving for Chakki. After the short walk, you can either head to Manali or Patlikuhal for your evening bus. Estimated completion time 2 pm.
