Brief Itinerary:
30th Dec 2017- Sat
Guests are requested to meet us at Prini, 2 km from Manali on the left bank, by 10:00a.m. Pick up from Manali can also be arranged on prior notice. A representative of Team will drive them to Sethan, at out Wilderness lodge – a traditional Himachali cottage at 9200ft. The drive is on a restricted project road and so there is no one you will see while driving up. The vast expanse of the Kullu valley and snow will lie below us as we climb up to the cottage in Sethan. Spend the day exploring the beautiful village of Sethan. It will be totally deserted at this time of the year and the feeling of solitude here something to envy. From here, we will go for a short trek to Pandu Ropa. It is quite an experience to walk in the snow here. Spend your day in the snow land here and return to the lodge. In the evening, chill around a bonfire and after a warm yummy dinner with friends and family, retire in the cosy cottage.
31st Dec 2017 – Sun
After breakfast in Sethan, we will trek to the campsite in Hampta to usher in the New Year. Explore the Hampta snow land at leisure and indulge in snow activities like skiing, Snow shoeing, sledgeing etc. This place has the easiest access to snow and is a haven for photographers and adventurists. There are some unexplored trails here which have to be ventured on. Hampta is also a favourite hub for international back country and heli-skiers.
In the evening, we will return to the campsite for the New Year’s Eve celebration.
Unwind with your friends around the traditional tandoors and a massive bon fire. Enjoy the snacks and the scrumptious food to your heart’s delight. The music will sound different in the silence of the chill mountain air. The echo of the sounds weaving through the moonlight reflecting off the snow will make this New Year’s Eve an affair never to be forgotten.
Bring in 2018 with a bang in the Hampta Snow land. Dance and chill out in the snow reflecting surreal moonlight.
When and if the festivities for the New Year's begin to simmer down and it is time to get around the warmth of a tandoor to rest your aching bones, vehicles will be ready and waiting for the guests to be driven back to the cottage in Sethan.
Those who still have it in them, and many will, can choose to trek up to the cottage in the break of dawn. What a way to usher in the New Year!
