Know before you go

The day cards specify one Kafnu homestay night, six camp nights including Mudh, and a rest day at Pushtirang. Main stages total 51 km, excluding a 2-3 km acclimatization walk. Several descriptions disagree with their cards: Day 2 takes 8-9 hours versus 6-8, Day 6 takes 10-11 versus 8-10, Day 7 is 17 km versus 16, and Day 8 is 230 km versus 180. Altitude-gain labels on descent days are also misleading. The pass headline is 16,100 ft while prose gives 4,950 m. Use day cards as approximate planning values, not guaranteed timings. Transport is advertised at INR 3,500 extra; confirm it covers both Shimla-Kafnu and Mudh-Manali. Day 8 includes tea/coffee only, not breakfast. Generic 'easy to moderate' fitness copy conflicts with the Difficult headline.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 1

Shimla to Kafnu

Triple/multi-sharing homestay at Kafnu

With booked transport, report near Shimla Old Bus Stand for the 05:30 pickup. Drive approximately 200 km in 9-10 hours to Kafnu and settle into the shared homestay. Confirm the property and reporting deadline if arriving independently.

Snacks and dinner
Day 2

Kafnu to Mulling

Twin-sharing tent at Mulling

Trek approximately 11 km through forest and riverside terrain to Mulling. The day card gives 8-9 hours while prose says 6-8; allow a full walking day. Gain approximately 2,800 ft and camp in twin-sharing tents.

Breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner
Day 3

Mulling to Kara

Twin-sharing tent at Kara

Continue approximately 6 km in 4-5 hours, ascending through boulders, stream sections and meadow terrain towards Kara. The shorter day gains about 1,000 ft. Rest at camp and follow the team's acclimatization guidance.

Breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner
Day 4

Kara to Pushtirang

Twin-sharing tent at Pushtirang

Climb approximately 5 km in 3-4 hours to Pushtirang. The route gains roughly 1,800 ft and is more demanding than the distance suggests. Stream conditions and steep terrain determine the safe pace and crossing points.

Breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner
Day 5

Pushtirang Acclimatization Day

Twin-sharing tent at Pushtirang

Remain at Pushtirang for the compulsory rest/acclimatization day. The detailed card describes a short 2-3 km acclimatization walk followed by recovery at the same high camp, rather than moving camp. Prepare for an early pass crossing under the leader's guidance.

Breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner
Day 6

Cross Pin Bhaba to Mangrungse

Twin-sharing tent at Mangrungse

Trek approximately 12 km over the pass and descend to Mangrungse. The card estimates 10-11 hours while its prose gives 8-10. Its 100 ft gain label describes only net camp difference, not the climb to 16,100 ft; expect a strenuous ascent and descent.

Breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner
Day 7

Mangrungse to Mudh

Twin-sharing tent at Mudh

Walk approximately 17 km according to the card, or 16 km in the prose, over 6-7 hours to Mudh. Descend through the broad Pin Valley and spend the final included night at the Mudh campsite. This operator does not list a Kaza guesthouse night.

Breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner
Day 8

Optional Mudh to Manali Transfer

No overnight stay

After included tea or coffee, take the paid onward road transfer if booked. The card gives 230 km in 9-10 hours, but prose says 180 km in 8-10 hours; confirm routing and realistic arrival time. The transport panel estimates Manali arrival at 19:00-20:00, subject to roads and weather.

Tea/coffee only; breakfast, lunch and dinner extra
