Trek Highlights
 This
is a moderate trek of five days that begins from close to Manali in
the Kullu Valley and ends in Lahaul and the Chandra Valley. The trek
is also possible in the Monsoons when the wild flowers are in bloom
and can be best appreciated.
The inhabitants of Lahaul are Buddhists and follow the Dalai Lama.
The language spoken is a dialect of Tibetan. This beautiful trek can
be combined with other treks that finish in Ladakh or Spiti or be
combined with a Rafting trip on the Chandra River.
