Itinerary

(Himachal Pradesh To Himachal Pradesh)
1
Day :1 Arrive at Manali. Drive from Manali to Gulaba Roadhead, and Trek to Jonker Thatch
    The Bhrigu Lake trek begins at Gulaba. The 24 km route to Gulaba takes you on the Manali-Rohtang Pass road, past Kolang, Palchan and Kothi. You get fabulous views of pine forests and mountains as soon as you cross Kothi.
2
Day :2 Trek from Jonker Thatch to Rola Kholi
    The trail begins with a steep ascent. Make note of brown oak, cedar and birch trees on the trail here. These are a few of the most prominent trees in the Himalayas. After around 20 minutes, the trail enters an open meadow where shepherds camp. Observe Mt Hanuman Tibba towering over the meadow in the background. Below Hanuman Tibba are the Seven Sister peaks seated in the Beas Kund Valley. Turn right from the upper ridge of the meadow and head south. The second forested cover begins here.

Day :3 Trek from Rola Kholi to Bhrigu Lake, and back to Rola Kholi
    • This is the most exciting day of the trek, as you will trek to the beautiful Bhrigu Lake, located at an altitude of 14,000 feet. The trek is challenging, but the stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the beautiful lake make it all worth it. • You will spend some time at the lake, taking in the breathtaking views, before trekking back to Rola Kholi for the night.

Day :4 Trek from Rola Kholi to Gulaba. Drive back to Manali
    Today’s trek is an easy one. You get back to Gulaba through the meadows you came up from. The descent can be a bit steep but is good on your legs given you are always in the meadows. It takes 3-4 hours to reach Gulaba. Gulaba at around 9,875 ft is a better exit for your knees and feet as compared to Vasisht at 7,000 ft.

If by a rare consequence Himalayan Daredevils calls off/cancels a trek:

At Himalayan Daredevils, we almost never call off or cancel our treks. But in the rare event that we do call off or cancel a trek due to any unforeseen circumstances or natural catastrophes like continuous rain or snow, thunderstorms, snowstorms, landslides, floods, earthquakes, or any other natural calamity that prevents us from carrying out a trek in a safe manner, unforeseeable circumstances like local riots, curfews, pandemics, lockdowns, government orders, or any such situations that prevents a safe trekking experience, Himalayan Daredevils will issue a voucher summing up to the same amount as your trek fee.

The voucher can be redeemed on any of the treks over a period of the next year.

Note

If the entirety of your group fails to reach or cross the pickup point, or abandons the trek, due to any unforeseen circumstances like snowfall or heavy rainfall, landslide, and such, in such a case the voucher will not be issued. You can, however, choose to repeat the trek with us

The voucher is also not issued if for any reason you have to come down from the trek. The trek leader may send you down from the trek, owing to reasons like lack of fitness, AMS, blood pressure, turn-around-time, health issues, or if you are found smoking/ drinking, or breaking the rules of the trek. Vouchers are issued only when the whole trek is cancelled or called off on behalf of Himalayan Daredevils.

In the rare event that Himalayan Daredevils shifts a trek:

As we mention always, weather conditions at high altitudes are extremely unpredictable and can change at any time of any day. Also, situations like natural calamities or political unrest, pandemics and lockdowns, etc are out of our control and if an event cannot run under any such circumstances that we do not directly have control over then we will try to give you an alternative trek, which means your trek will be shifted from one trek to another, which will be safer and more favorable.

In these cases, a voucher is issued to mitigate the difference in cost between the two treks. You can redeem the voucher at any time over a period of one year from the date of issue. A refund fee or refund of the difference is not applicable.

Note:

Change of trek batch is dependent on the availability of seats in the batch

In case of transferring a trek to a friend, he/she should satisfy all the mandatory requirements put forward by Himalayan Daredevils. We holds the right to change/cancel the policies, without prior notice

Cash refund is applicable only in case of bookings made without using any promotional offer code or vouchers

Cash Voucher Terms:

This is a non-transferable voucher

The voucher cannot be merged with any other offer of Himalayan Daredevils

The voucher is valid for Trek booked directly with Himalayan Daredevils in India

To avail the voucher please use your registered phone number or e-mail id

All the other Terms of booking a trek with Himalayan Daredevils are applicable to the voucher

Himalayan Daredevils holds rights to add/remove any of the Terms and Conditions without prior notice
