DAY 1 :

Old Manali – Mori Thach Via Kulang (Altitude- 9350ft)

All the members assemble at our camp site beside Club
House in Old Manali around 8:30 am. After having piping
hot tea on arrival, we start our drive to Kulang around 9 am.
The meandering roads with hair-pin bends, views of snowcapped peaks and the fresh breadth of air kickstarts your
journey. After driving for 7 kms, we reach the quaint village
of Kolang. Trekking from Kulang, we pass through forests of
birch and oak and cross streams such as Chor Nallah and
Kohli Nallah on the way to reach Mori Thach in 2-3
hours.We also pass through by gazing to Manali Bazar and
Solang Bazar from top of the hills before reaching to Mori
Thach Campsite. The campsite of Mori Thach is the only
place from where Hanuman Tibba peak can be seen clearly.
Mori Thach route is preferred over Rola Khuli route because
of overcrowding and pollution of water sources near the
campsite of Rola Khuli. Hot lunch is served on arrival. The
night is spent camping with bonfire, stargazing, binging on
good food and prepping for the next day.

DAY 2 :

DAY 2 Mori Thach To Bhrigu Lake(Altitude- 14100ft)

We start pretty early at 7 am as it is a round trip and we
have to be back at Mori Thach before it gets dark. The
round trip stretch of 12 kms requires us to ascend and
descend steep slopes. The ridges are steep and depending
on the weather are either covered in snow or flowers. The
trail starts turning brown as we approach Bhrigu Lake,
enjoying the joyous charades of wild horses. All your
exhaustion will vanish when you see the mighty blue Bhrigu
Lake, partly sprinkled with snow and in the lap of tall
mountain ridges. We spend some time there catching our
breadth, taking pictures and introspecting about the stories
of Rishi Bhrigu. Bathing in the lake or playing with the water
is strictly prohibited as the lake is deemed sacred. We take
care of our litter and keep the place clean. After a while, it’s
time to return back to Mori Thach to spend the night. After
we return back around 4 pm, the campsite is alive with
cacophony of excited members after achieving the feat.
Food and stories flow free around the bonfire with
contentment on everyone’s faces.

DAY 3 :

Mori Thach To Kulang And Back To Manali (Altitude6,560ft)

A night will turns shine when Solar deity comes in power in
early morning . We welcome the raise of shine with sipping
tea . We will serve hot breakfast as this will be the last meal
with us . This is the last leg of the trek and we trek back to
Kolang and then drive to Old Manali from there. Everyone
bids adieu to each other for the experiences gained, the
friendships that were formed and for the amazing
memories.
