By 10am, arrive in Manali. Our guide will meet you and take you to the hotel. You can take in some local sightseeing after lunch. In the evening, explore Manali's Mall Road. There are lots of Indian tourists there in all arround the year. Manali hotel for the night.

It's been a long day of driving. We get going early and travel across the 3980-meter-high Rohtang Pass to enter Lahaul Valley. The Chandra and Bhaga Rivers, from the Baralacha La, pass in J&K state and meet at Tandi, where we continue on the Manali-Leh Highway. Once at Udaipur, where the Miyar River falls into the Chandra-Bhaga, we turn west and continue driving along the Chandra-Bhaga River. Raja Udai Singh of Chamba is the name-giver of Udaipur, which is the subdivisional administrative center of Lahaul. Its previous name, Margul, was changed in 1695. Trilokinath and Margul Devi are two distinctive temples that are famed for them. From here, we turn northeast and go along the Miyar River until we reach Urgus. From there, we continue to the roadhead at Shukto. Nightly Guest House.

It is a short climb up to Khanjer, the final settlement in the Miyar Valley, once we pass over on the wooden pedestrian bridge to the left side.

Shukto and Khanjar are located across one another, separated by a tiny bridge over a river. To get to Tharpatan, we walk the entire length of the left bank, passing by some lovely campgrounds at Doksa. (5 to 6 hrs) Nighttime Camp.

The grade changes gradually, and most campsites are large, grassy, and covered with numerous tiny flowers that give the impression of a carpet of flowers.
We turn northwest from Gumba Nala and follow the Miyar Nallah till we arrive at our lovely camp spot at Zardung.

(5 to 6 hrs) Nighttime Camp.

We continue to Kesar Yon Chhap, which translates to "7 Holy Waters," another lovely camping. Along the route, there are numerous stream crossings and peaks in the background. We set up camp at Phalpu, which is near the Miyar Glacier's snout. The campground is bordered by mountains and a glacier lake and is located on a dried-up lake bed. (4 to 5 hrs) Nighttime Camp.

We hike for nearly an hour to reach the glacier's snout before continuing via challenging moraine and massive snowfields. We camp on the glacier and pass by many glacial lakes—a challenging 7-hour day. Snow-capped peaks may be seen all around us. Nighttime Camp.

Getting going early will make the snowy walk simpler (4hrs). The ascent is easy, and the length required to reach our campground at the base of Kangla Jot can vary depending on the snow conditions and open crevasses. With snow-covered mountains and glaciers, we set up camp in a field on the glacier. Fantastic view of the surrounding mountains, glaciers, and snowfields. 6 - 7 hrs. Nighttime Camp.

Before the first light, leave the camp. After almost three hours of gently inclining walking along the centre of the enormous glacier covered in snow, we rope up. A modest summit can be reached after an hour of challenging ascent. We navigate some crevasses in a zigzag fashion to reach Kangla Jot pass (5,320m). You are rewarded with breathtaking vistas of surrounding snow-capped mountains and shimmering glaciers. We make our way down the valley's right side until we reach the river at the intersection of two valleys, where we set up camp in a little meadow. (8 to 9 hrs) Nighttime Camp.

Day 9 Back to manali via shinkula pass.
