Trekking

With years of trekking experience and having travelled all over the region Marco Polo India's staff deliver well organised and precisely executed treks in Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Zanskar, and Garhwal. Angdu and Sampel oversee the finer details, sometimes accompanying groups and make sure that all goes strictly according to plan.

Himachal Pradesh
Himachal offers the trekking enthusiast a number of trekking options in different parts of the state. Each district within Himachal has its own trails and paths, each different from the other. The landscape and terrain also varies radically from lush vegetation to high altitude desert regions. Choose from any of our list of treks or ask us to plan one just for you according to your requirements. All treks are accompanied by experienced mountain guides, expert cooks, complete camp staff and equipment, and ponies or porters depending on the trail. Manali located in the centre of the state affords excellent accessibility to all the regions within the state and also the northern hi-attitude terrain of Ladakh and Zanskar.

Short Treks from Manali:

The Beas Kund Trek : 3 Days
Starting from the old village of Manali, this trail goes past old villages on a ridge above the River Beas to Solang Valley from where it climbs steadily towards the glaciated Beas Kund one of the river's origins. Superb views of mountain peaks can be had from here whilst you camp in luxuriant meadows.

The Bhrighu Lake Trek : 3 Days*
Another revered lake high above Manali hidden behind a thickly forested hillside, the Bhrighu Lake can be approached from two sides. From the village of Vashsisht from where it involves a steep climb and the other from the Gulaba meadows 16 Kms north of Manali off the Manali- Leh Highway. A beautiful oval lake from where you get extensive views of the Lahaul, Spiti and Pir Panjal mountain peaks.

The Base of Deo Tibba Peak Trek : 5 Days*
A trek that takes you through a couple of ancient villages to above the tree line into lavish meadows nurturing a profusion of wild flowers and herbs. The camp below the Deo Tibba (Throne of Gods) peak gives you excellent views of snow clad mountains and also a day's walk to a tiny glaciated lake above the camp.

The Malana Trek : 5 Days*
A trek that goes through verdant meadows to the Chanderkhani pass and descends into the legendary village of Malana inhabited by a race who trace their roots to the lost army of Alexander the Great. Having their own laws and form of government, they prohibit leather within the village and the touching of any building by outsiders. Till recently quite isolated it is now being exposed to more and more modern day attitudes and lifestyles.
