After an early breakfast we will drive 14 km to Solang Nala the northwest of Manali. Solang boasts of some of the best skiing slopes of India and is the starting point of many treks in Himachal Pradesh. While spending some time in this ski resort we will start our 5 km trekking to Dhundi for our Ist night camp next to the mighty river Beas.The trail follows river Beas while crossing the stream many times from one side to the other through the forest of Pine, Maple, Walnut, Silver fir and Oak, getting us to Dhundi. The quaint little mountain hamlet that has nothing to offer except scenic beauty and resonating silence. Dhundi is another alpine meadow full of wild flowers. On a clear weather you can have a magnificent view of Hanuman Tibba ( 5950 mt ) on your west – the highest mountain of the Dhauladhar range & Deo Tibba 6001 m, Indra Asan 6100 mt on your east . We will brief you about the usage of mountaineering equipment and the camping manners after post lunch session.

It is a beautiful trek through the river Beas up to the crossing of the main stream of river Beas after that the trail steeply climb to reach the grazing ground at Bakrathach. The camp is set in a nice place facing several peaks of Pir Panjal & Dhauladhar range.

An early start to the day and a short climb up the ridge through Bhoj Patr will get us to Beas Kund -the source of one of the major rivers of north India. Bhoj Patr gets its name from the fact that the area has a lot of Bhoj Patr (birch) trees. The legend is that Sage Vyas, the author of the great epic Mahabharata, meditated here. We are constantly overwhelmed by the mighty Dhauladhar range with the imposing Hanuman Tibba in the North flanked by the seven .

After breakfast we will gain some height by exploring the nearby areas upto the base of Tentu pass ridge through lateral moraine. The west face of Hanuman Tibba is looming in front of you along with other peaks of Pir Panjal & Dhauladhar range. By the noon we will back to the base camp for practicing and getting familiar with the uses of mountaineering gears and also learn the method self arrest on a slope.

Our high altitude porters will always open your route in advance. Today we will ferry our loads upto the summit camp . We start early today for a steep ascent to Shitidhar col from here we follow the south east ridge upto the summit camp which takes 4 hours from the Beas Kund camp . The entire campsite is surrounded with the snow-capped peaks from Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar range, which seems to be very near. Friendship , Ladakhi & Shitidhar peak is clearly visible but the entire area is dominating by Mt. Hanuman Tibba. The final ridge of Mt. Ladakhi is clearly visable from the camp site flanked by Friendship peak on the right and Ladakhi & Manali on the left. They form part of the Pir Panjal range which extends up to three major peaks we see in the east at a distance – Indrasan, Deo Tibba and Indrakila.
In the evening we will have a meeting to prepare ourselves for the summit attempt. It is always advisable to check all your mountain gears before the final push e.g check your shoes with crampons , Ice axe, getters, snow goggle, water bottle, dry fruits, chocolates, electoral powder, etc.

The summit day has arrived and we have to get ready with our crampons & headlight. We left our camp at 2 am to make the best of the weather and good views with all team members roped in their groups. The route had already been cleared by the advance recce group; therefore it will be easy for us to scale the peak via south ridge. After short rest & photography we will start our climb down safely by the late afternoon to Summit camp.
