DAY 01: MANALI (2000M) :
We will all meet in Manali and check into a hotel. In the post lunch session we will get our cycles out and go for an acclimatization ride around Manali. Not only do we get our muscles ready for the ride ahead but we also feast our eyes on the natural delights for which Manali is famous. Overnight in the hotel.
DAY 02: MANALI – MARHI (3350M, CYCLE/38 KMS)
Today after breakfast we will set out on the road leading to the famous Rohtang pass. This road is the one which goes to Ladakh and Lahaul & Spiti regions. It’s an uphill ride all the way and we will do it in short stages. We will have lunch enroute and reach our destination, Marhi towards late afternoon. Marhi is 16 kms short of Rohtang Pass. We will camp here for the night. Overnight in tents.
DAY 03: MARHI – ROHTANG PASS (3950M) - CHOTTA DHARRA (3800M, CYCLE/47 KMS)
Get ready for your first views of the Trans Himalayan ranges today. After breakfast a climb of 16 kms will bring us to the top of Rohtang Pass (3900m) which offers rewarding views of the Pir Panjals and the Trans Himalayan ranges. Rohtang pass at 3950m separates Kullu, from the exotic charm of the Lahaul valley. This is so because after 11:00 a.m. sudden blizzards and snow storms called Biannas are only to be expected. The summit of the pass turns into lush green meadow in summers studded with violets and varieties of wild Himalayan and Alpine flowers.
At the highest point on top to the right as one faces Lahaul, is a small stone enclosure and a water spring which is the principal source of the River Beas; Beas kund is at the head of the Solang nullah. To the left of this pass is the little lake Sarkund. From Rohtang Pass we will descend 11 kms to Gramphoo from where a left diversion will get us into the Spiti valley. The off road starts from here and riding another 21 kms will get us to Chotta Dharra. Overnight in tents.
DAY 04: CHOTTA DHARRA (3800M) – CHANDRATAL (4300M, CYCLE/39 KMS)
This is Glacier country. We trace the course of the Chandra river till Batal (19 kms) through undulating road, trying uphills and rocky flats. The gruesome climb begins from Batal diversion up to Chandratal. From the base of Kunzum Pass the pristine lake is 20 kms. Upon reaching the lake we set up camp. Spend rest of the day soaking in the natural beauty of this jewel in the mountains, Chandratal. Overnight in tents.
DAY 05: CHANDRATAL (4300M) – KUNZUM LA (4650M) – MANALI (2000M, CYCLE/20-30 KMS & DRIVE/5-6 HRS)
Today after breakfast we drive down to Batal and from there drive further 12 kms towards Kaza and reach the Kunzum La at 4650m. We will spend some time at the pass taking pictures and enjoying the views all around. From Kunzum La we will again get on our cycles and enjoy a downhill ride till Batal and further on to Chotta Dharra, if so desired. We will have lunch here and drive back to Manali via the famous Rohtang pass. Our trip end here.
