Arrive in Manali. Our guide will meet you and take you to the hotel. Today we will prepare for Lahaul to Zanskar long trek and we will do also acllimetization walk. Evening at relaxation and overnigth in hotel.

Today early morning 8 am we start the trip from Manali to Miyar Valley via Atal Tunnel. After the Atal Tunnel Rohtang, the landscape changes dramatically, the greenery being replaced by barren hillsides, where the village with its bountiful fields of barley, peas, and potatoes, stands out in stark contrast. On entering Lahaul the Buddhist influence is visible in the many monasteries crossed on the way. The people here have distinct Tibetan features. Drive alongside the Chandra river till Tandi which is sangam of Chandra & Bhaga River. From here take the diversion to Udaipur. From Udaipur through the narrow gorge making the entrance to Miyar Valley. Continue dive from hrere to Urgos -Shukto and Khanjar,the last village in the Miyar valley. After reaching Khanjer trek to Khanjer meadows camp at Doksa from Khnajer Village. its small 1 -2 hours hike or acclimetization walk. Overnight camp.

Leaving camp today continue on the trail to Thanpattan. There are lovely pastures all along the trek up to the camping site. The trek continues to the left side of the stream. A side stream coming from the Tharang glacier mingles here with the Miyar Nala. The trail goes through vast meadows for hours. Continue on the trail and after crossing Gompa Chorten the trail passes through rock and boulders and finally to the campsite at Yolling which is short after Thanpattan. From Khanjar until Kesar Yon Chhap, there are plenty of places to camp and numerous choices are there to set camps. Overnight camp at Yolling.

Today after breakfast trek to Zardong from Yolling camp, crossing of ford and through boulders and to vast alpine meadows of Gompa. During summer all these areas are carpeted with flowers. After hiking for two hours you reach Gompa Nala (3,800m) and cross the bridge and ascend gradually. Continue through the alpine pasture to the Zardung campsite. The Tharang group of 6000+ peaks remains insight this all day. There is a Takdung glacier stream to be crossed the next day and afternoon the level of the stream goes up. We camp before this stream in order to cross tomorrow when the level of water will be convenient for crossing.  Overnight camp at Zardung.

Today we will start our journey in the morning. We have to walk for some time to reach Gompa Nala. This area will take us to the region of boulders and then to Miyar Nala. 

Today we have to walk on flat land and take a descent to reach a bridge. From this bridge, you have to climb on a steep slope to reach Gompa Nala. This area is surrounded by a shepherd’s house and a small water body. 

After taking a descent, you will come to a challenging portion. The route will take us to the boulder section. This section is very tough to pass because of the sharp edges at many points. You might feel tired while crossing this boulder section but the breathtaking views of the mountains will keep you fresh. We will take a descent to reach a flat area near the river. 

As you move forward, the valley opens its large arms. You will see many kinds of flowers on this trekking trail. We will reach Palpu within a few minutes. Palpu which again is a very beautiful campsite which offers a good view of the valley and Tharang peaks. From here if the weather is clear the chances of viewing Menthosa.

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.

Follow a simple walk beside the Tema River as you descend over rocks and scree, passing through grazing areas and flower-filled meadows. As you approach the Zanskar valley and the beginning of the Trek back to civilization, the environment becomes more desolate and breathtaking. To reach Bardan Gompa, perched dramatically above a riverside cliff, we drive 2 km through a rocky jeep trail. Meet with automobiles and travel to Padum, the Zanskar district's administrative centre (1 hrs). The largest and most impressive monastery in Zanskar is sprawled across a cliffside as we travel to Karsha later. The campground for the Village is where the camp is. Sleeping Lodge.

Today you have multiple options. wheather you can come back to manali or can go to Ladakh / Srinagar. From Padum to Manali it is approximately 5-6 hours drive and to Srinagar you need 2 days atleast and for Leh you need 1 day to reach. So Plan accordingly.

This day will only be used if the need arises during the trek due to bad weather or unforeseen circumstances. You are advised to keep a buffer day in your travel plan. If the buffer day is used you need pay extra amount approximately 4500-5000. That will be updated by  our trek leader.
