 This
less traveled trail starts from the Pin Valley in Spiti
and after going through the Spiti mountain ranges and crossing
the Bhabha Pass also known as the Tarikhango Pass at 4865m
enters the lush alpine valley of Kinnaur. You get the best
of both landscapes one a stark barren hi-altitude desert
and the other a land of lush green meadows and thick conifer
forests. Starting from the tiny village of Mud on the Spiti
side it ends at the tiny hamlet of Kafnu in Kinnaur. Extremely
scenic with enchanting views of the Kinnaur and Spiti peaks.
Day 1: Kafnu to Mulling (3-4 Hours) Leaving the
village of Kafnu we head eastward over a well-defined path
through luxuriant forests of Pine and Deodar. You are rewarded
with excellent views of the Spiti and Kinnaur mountain ranges.
Evening camp at another tiny settlement at Mulling.
Day 2: Mulling to Tesa / Fushtring (5-6 Hours) Trek
along the Wanger River and a forested green valley. A few
stream crossings are involved. We reach the Bhaba Pass base
and camp on the banks of the Wagner River.
Day 3: Tesa to Baldur (5-6 hours) Crossing the Pass
we descend down a steep incline to the camping site at Baldur.
Day 4: Baldur - Mud (3-4 hours) We are now technically
in the Pin Valley and on the periphery of the Great Himalayan
National Park home to Ibex, Snow Leopards, Himalayan Black
and Brown bears and numerous birdlife. Mud is a small hamlet
and we camp just outside.
Day 5: Mud to Gulling (3-4 hours) Walk along the
valley floor, pass green fields of potato and barley and
enjoy the magnificent views of the barren landscape and
towering mountains. Camp outside the village.
Day 6: Today we walk up to the Kungri Monastery
high up in a rock cleft. There is also a new monastery here
now built with the assistance of Japanese Buddhists. The
older monastery contains precious frescoes and manuscripts
dating back tot the 11th century. Moreover, there is a possibility
of catching one of their colourful masked dances. Evening
return to camp.
Day 7: We take transportation to Manali. Where we
reach by late evening and check into a hotel / guesthouse.
