BEAS KUND TREK

🗓️ Day 1: Manali to Solang | Trek to Bakarthach (~3,240 m)

Your adventure begins with a short scenic drive from Manali to Solang Valley, the gateway to some of the most thrilling treks in Himachal Pradesh. From Solang, we begin our Beas Kund Trek, one of the most beautiful trails in the region.

The trek starts gently, passing through Dhundi, the last settlement en route and the confluence point of glacial streams that feed the Beas River. This section offers a great introduction to the Beas Kund trek route, with views of snow-capped peaks, lush alpine meadows, and crystal-clear streams.

As we leave the treeline, the trail leads us into a rugged landscape of alpine shrubs, boulders, and glacier-fed brooks — ideal for photography and quiet reflection. You might spot mountain goats or wildflowers, depending on the Beas Kund trek season.

By late afternoon, we reach Bakarthach, a serene high-altitude meadow often used as a basecamp by climbers. Enjoy dinner at the campsite and stargaze under the clear Himalayan sky.

✅ Overnight stay in alpine tents at Bakarthach

🗓️ Day 2: Trek to Beas Kund (~3,700 m) and Return to Bakarthach

After an early breakfast, we begin our journey to the legendary Beas Kund, one of the most sacred and scenic glacial lakes in Himachal. The trail transitions from rolling grasslands to rocky terrain and moraine fields, with panoramic views all around.

You’ll walk amidst towering Himalayan peaks including Shitidhar, Hanuman Tibba, and Ladakhi Peak, making this the most breathtaking part of the trek. Keep your camera ready — this section is a favorite among trekkers for Beas Kund trek photos.

Upon reaching Beas Kund, you'll witness a serene, turquoise glacial lake nestled in a hidden valley. According to legend, this is where Rishi Vyas, author of the Mahabharata, meditated — giving this lake immense spiritual and historical significance.

After lunch by the lake and some quiet time, we retrace our steps to Bakarthach.

✅ Overnight stay in tents at Bakarthach

🗓️ Day 3: Trek Back to Solang Valley | Drive to Manali

Enjoy a relaxed morning before we begin our descent. The return journey offers fresh views and photo opportunities, with sunlight filtering through the changing terrain of meadows and forests.

Upon reaching Dhundi, our vehicles will be ready to drive you back to Manali, marking the end of a short but unforgettable Himalayan experience.
