Manali to Bogi Thach (2400m) - 3-4 hours We meet you at the hotel in  the morning. Once you are done with your breakfast, we load your baggage on our  vehicles and depart to the starting point at Jagatsukh. It is 30min drive to  get there by jeep. We meet our rest of the trekking team here, which includes  cooks and horsemen. We leave our baggage with them to put that on horses. We  start our walk, which passes through few villages. We visit one of the villages  below the Bogi Thach to experience culture of Himachal Pradesh. On the way to  Bogi Thach we also visit a temple of snack god, which has beautiful wood  carving on its doors and walls. A fair takes place at this temple in the month  of August. First day is very short but it is kept short for the reason that it  is first day and we require plenty of time to pack horses for the first day to  distrubute the load on horses and also as camping goes with the source of water  and next camping is too far for the same day where there is water. We reach  camping at Bogi Thach around 12o’clock where we will have lunch and by the time  we finish our lunch, our horses arrive and we set tents and settle in. Rest of  the day is spent in exploring surrounding. This camping is in forest and  surrounded with big trees and offers great views of big snow-capped mountains  around.

Rest day or excursion to Deo-Tibba glacier  (3700m)- 3-4 hours It is relaxed day. We get up nice and easy  and after breakfast, head up to the glacier of Deo-Tibbba Mountain. People who  want to take it easy, can stay in camp to relax. By 10am we get a good light on  the entire mountain in case you want to take some good pictures. Deotibba  glacier is full of moraine and boulders so it is not very fascinating but  according to locals this place has white and black crystals though difficult to  find. Once we are there we all can try our luck to find a white or black  crystal. Anyway it is good to have a closer look at the Deo-Tibbba Mountain. We  head back to camp where we will have hot lunch waiting for us. After lunch we  can do some washing and bathing if needed.

Deo Tibba base to Chhibba (3000m)- 5-6 hours Day starts with gradual up  hill from left side of the camp. Up hill walk brings us up high on the ridge,  which gives us opportunity to enjoy the great views of Himalaya. In the front  we have Hanuman Tibba peak and if we look back, we have Deo Tibba standing  still and eternal. We reach a point after 45-60 minute walk where there are  some beautiful rocks to climb. If some one is in to climbing, can try a hand of  climbing here. It is also great viewpoint. After spending half an hour here we  head further down to our camping. Walk starts getting gradual downhill and  later it is little steep down to the riverbed. Once we have reach the river we  will have a break for the lunch there and little rest. After half an hour  break, we start following the river up stream. It is about half an hour walk  when we reach a river crossing point. Usually there is bridge (locally made)  but some time people may have to cross the river without bridge as it gets  washed down with monsoons sometime. Another river crossing follows one river  crossing. After crossing the different channel of the river, trail goes up for  5 minutes and gets gradual up to the camp. It is nice camping place at the  confluence of two rivers. One can also walk up to the big waterfall and which  offers great view of the camp.

Chhibba to base of Hampta pass – Balugera (3700m)-  5-6 hours The day is supposed to be gradual up hill up to the  camp at the base. We cross the stream coming from true right of the valley,  which is also known as chhibba Nala. Up hill begins right after crossing the  river over a small bridge made of two logs and flat rocks are placed on it. The  valley is narrow until we reach a summer settlement at Jwara. Right before  Jwara, there is Small River to cross on foot, as there is no bridge. Sometime  there can be a bridge here built by local villagers who live here for the  summers with their cattle. After Jwara, trail keeps climbing up for an hour and  then it gets bit flatter. After an hour we reach the base camp. It is a  beautiful place in the shadow of Indrason peak (6000m). Camping is set up on  the true right side of the valley. There is lake there, which is fed by a  river, which is coming down from the glacier of Indrason. You also can see the  Hampta pass, which we cross next day. Once we have settled in our tents, we can  spend after noon to explore the surroundings or bathing if any one is  interested as place is surrounded with few glacier streams….cold

Balugera to Sheraguru (3815m) via Hampta pass  (4200m)- 5-6 hours We stick to true right side of the valley, which is  the same side of our camping and start heading up to the pass. We cross the  river, which is feeding the lake to get a clear slope for the walk. It is  little hard walk as we start gaining altitude. There is another river crossing  to the true right side of the river before we start the final climb to the  pass. The pass is only 4200m from the sea level and not so difficult to climb  as long as there is a good weather. Other side of the pass is very steep down  hill and it is very tricky for horses. It takes about 2 hours from the top to  get to the camp. It is beautiful camping sight with a flat ground and river  running close by. Up stream and down stream both the sides offer great views of  Himalaya.
