Pin Parvati to Mantalai Trekking Adventure

Arrive in Delhi and meet a tour representative before transferring to your hotel. After you drop your bags and settle in, you’ll embark on a half-day sightseeing tour of Old Delhi. Expect to visit some remarkable attractions, including the Jama Masjid, Red Fort, and Raj Ghat. You’ll also get a chance to walk along Chandni Chowk, a lively shopping street.

Wake up early in the morning and transfer to the New Delhi Railway Station to board your train to Manali. Enjoy a tasty breakfast on the train and let your body relax before your upcoming rugged trekking adventure.

Spend the evening chilling at your hotel and daydreaming about the epic days ahead.

Get ready to start your adventure into the thick of the Himalayas! Before you hit the trail, you’ll transfer three hours to Manikaran, which is considered a holy place for Sikhs and Hindus, and you can find the world’s hottest sulphur spring here. Today’s hiking venture takes you along a forest road until you reach your campsite for the night.

Enjoy a fulfilling breakfast before embarking on a slightly more challenging, but still very scenic hike! You’ll wind through villages, forests, and fields. At one point, the trail has you ascend for 1.5 hours, but the higher you go, the better the views, right?

Let your body relax and reap the rewards of a fantastic day in the wild with a dip in Khirganga’s hot springs (holy water).

Enjoy a tasty breakfast at camp before lacing up your boots and twisting along a path flanked by incredible outdoorsy views, like the Parvati River, meadows, and mountains. When you reach Tunda Bhuj, an unveiling of soaring snow-capped mountains will take over your sightlines.

Today’s walk is a lovely, gentle meander through fairytale-like scenery filled with beautiful flowers. The most challenging part of today’s hike is the walk along the bridge. After the bridge, the trail carries you along a steady incline, but the views will keep you entertained as you walk. The path also hugs some rock faces, adding to the thrill of your journey.

Prepare to traverse a lot of streams today! But the most scenic part of today’s journey is the Parvati River snaking to your left. Enjoy another night under the stars.

Today’s journey will be your most difficult yet! Follow the path through meadow and forest before the Thakur Kuan region takes over, revealing a collection of orchard flowers. Eventually, you’ll see a towering peak, which intimidates at 13,400 ft high.

Continue walking until you reach your campsite at Mantalai Lake.

Yesterday’s hike was a warm-up for today’s challenging (but phenomenal) trek. You’re nearing the pinnacle of your hiking adventure, so get ready to put in a lot of effort for a ton of scenic rewards. Travel along a river, through rocky areas, over glaciers, and across more steep rocks. The surrounding verdancy and glaciers at the base camp where you eat dinner will make it all worth it!

After resting for an hour, you’ll continue your journey, which has you crossing lakes, streams, and glaciers before reaching Camp I, the base of the Pin Parvati Pass. Let your legs relax as you fall asleep to the hums of the wild.

Wake up to the sounds of nature and start preparing for another tough but insanely rewarding, unforgettable hike. Today you’ll trek over the Pin Parvati Pass, where you can catch a bird’s eye view of the array of peaks of the Kullu & Spiti region. Enjoy a gradual descent from here to camp.

Pass by a reel of more stunning views today as you begin your descent! Today’s hike fuses fun and scenic moments to form an excellent, enjoyable walk. You’ll head into the valley, following along the left side of the Pin River.

Today’s trail may ease up in terms of difficulty, but you’ll still face some challenges, like making your way around massive rocks! You’ll continue your trek until you reach Mud Village, the first village in Pin Valley.

Today, you’ll make your way to Sagnam, a village that sits at the confluence of the Pin and Parahio rivers. Enjoy your last night in a tent before ditching the rugged tents for hotels and showers!

Congratulations! You’ve made it to your final hiking day of the Pin Parvati to Mantalai trekking adventure. Talk about a rewarding feeling!

You’ll end this epic hiking adventure with a two-hour walk to Dhankar Monastery, a local architecture marvel! From Dhankar village, you’ll toss your bags into a vehicle and drive to Kaza, where you’ll get the chance to shower and change into clean clothes.

Enjoy a tasty breakfast after your first cozy night back in civilization before visiting some stunning monuments. You’ll stop by the Key Monastery before driving to Kibber Village, the second-highest village in the world. Take a moment to bask in the views here! You’ll head back to Kaza for the evening.

Road trip day! Head from Kaza to Manali, where more sightseeing awaits.

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before going out and exploring some of the best sights spread across Manali. You’ll visit Nagar Castle, Roerich Art Gallery, Manu Temple, Hadimba Temple, and the Tibetan Monastery. Spend the afternoon strolling through the lanes of shopping arcades and quaint cafes dotting Old Manali.

Get ready for a long train ride today, but what better time to relax and reflect on the last 17 days? A tour representative will meet and greet you on arrival in Delhi and transfer you to your hotel.

Enjoy a nice, long sleep before waking up and heading out for a half-day sightseeing tour of New Delhi. Check out the Qutub Minar, India Gate, the president’s residence, and secretariat buildings. If time permits in the afternoon, visit Delhi Haat, an open-air market. Head to a local restaurant in the evening for your final meal as a group before going to the airport either tonight or tomorrow morning depending on your departure.
