Acclimatization in Manali
On the first day of your trek, we will go over important documents and meet with team members to discuss preparations for the climb.
After a short briefing, we will assemble all your equipment and show you how to use it. This is a relatively easy day, but crucial for what comes next.
After a short hike, we' will meet at the campsite for dinner with local music and campfire.
Wake up early in the morning. Today's drive will take you to Dhundi and then on a trek to 1st base camp at Raoli Thach.
The trek will start from Dhundi.
Meanwhile, enjoy the scenic view of the mountains and the Beas River flowing beside you.
After about 2 hours of hiking over small boulders, you will reach Raoli Thatch.
Rest here and we' will settle in for the day at the campsite.
On the third day of our expedition, we start our day with a good breakfast and head out to Lady Leg. After that we stretch for a few minutes to prepare for the upcoming climb. At 9 of the clock sharp we start climbing!
Lady Leg, an area of mixed terrain, crammed with boulders, rocks, snow, torrents and a considerable number of colourful plants. The name Lady Leg comes from a rock formation just to the right of the campsite that has the shape of the Rocky Mountains, like a girls leg.
the ascent is first over colourful meadows that slope step by step towards Lady Leg. It is a tedious but fast climb. You will reach ABC, rest briefly and then take an acclimatisation walk. Stop for an evening at ABC in the camps.
Set out early for the summit camp after a healthy breakfast.
To begin your acclimatization process, you must rise early to eat breakfast and then climb the steeper slopes and slippery terrain.
Walking in expedition boots in a new environment will take between two and three hours, one way. Each hiker is responsible for packing all their own gear - including crampons and ice axes - before heading out.
Today you' will receive instruction in the use of these tools, as well as a short orientation session over snowfields. Afterwards, a training session led by the trekking guide will focus specifically on climbing Friendship Peak.
Familiarize yourself with your equipment, try to learn some basic techniques of high altitude mountaineering. Practice moving on snow and ice, learn the techniques to catch a fall on the slope, while at the same time climb to the summit camp.
we' will bring some of our necessary equipment to the summit camp during these days. We will have our dinner before the rest of the instances and we can sleep before dark to rejuvenate for a surprising climb.
We are able to wake up early in the morning and equip ourselves, because the day is full of adventures. An early start will help us climb better on the snow before it melts.
Slowly we' will make the short summit climb to Friendship Peak. With everything we need for the push, well walk the route we hiked up yesterday. The hike should be easier today as we are already used to the new boots and trail and the route is familiar.
During the night the snow is walkable (as it melts after sunrise) and you' will reach the summit exactly at sunrise. Follow your hiking guide, because you' will walk on the snow. Slowly and steadily you will conquer Friendship Peak. After spending enough time on the summit, you will climb back to Lady Leg camp for the day.
it will take you about 8 hours to reach the summit. You can rejoice on the summit when you reach the highest point and have a view of the mighty peaks of Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar. Spend a few minutes on the summit and get off properly to the summit camp, finish all the equipment and climb all the way down to ABC. Spend the night at ABC.
The summit day is reserved for any unforeseen event that could disrupt or delay the summit goal.
Rephrasing In the event of inclement weather or other complications, Day 7 will be reserved as a backup option for a possible second summit attempt. This will only be used if unforeseen circumstances prevent the first summit attempt from proceeding as planned.
In case of bad weather or other difficulties, day 7 is reserved for a second summit attempt. This will only be used if unexpected and unforeseen conditions arise at the last minute that prevent the first summit attempt.
From ABC to Bakar Thach, an easy path could lead to the valley, returning the same way from Raoli Thach to Dhundi through the wild forests.
Returning to the vegetation and civilization would give pleasure to the climbers after a strenuous trekking. As it should be, a vehicle will be ready to take us from Dhundi to Manali.
they reach Manali and leave for the places you have chosen.
