After arriving in Manali, finish up any outstanding paperwork and go shopping for trip-related supplies.

Get an early start, make sure all of your items are packed, and then get in the van to begin the trip to Manali. At Manali, once we have taken a group picture and checked our bikes, we will go off. During the way to Marhi, the trail passes through a number of settlements as well as apple orchards and dense forests. The path winds its way upward, offering more breathtaking views of the valley below. As we make our way into Gulaba, we get get a good look at the massive Hanuman Tibba structure. As you cycle closer and closer to Marhi, you will see that the vegetation is changing. Although though it is a relatively short path, it might prove to be an effective means of acclimatisation before continuing on to higher elevations. We are scheduled to arrive in Marhi in the afternoon, and once we do, we will immediately set up our tents for the night.

In the morning, we will ride our bikes across the Rohtang Pass and then into the Spiti and Lahoul valleys. The Rohtang Pass can be seen quite well from where we are camping. To traverse the top will take around two to three hours of time. The Rohtang Pass is the highest point on the route, and from there it is all downhill until we reach Gramphoo, a little break a few kilometres before we reach Koksar. We are going to go around to the right and enter the part of the map that contains the unplanned travels. The road leading farther out from here is rugged, and there are streams and floods interspersed throughout, but the trek itself is not very difficult. The journey is arduous, consisting of stone gravel and sand, and it seems to stretch on forever. Chota Dara is where we will spend the day, and it is a breathtaking spot in the middle of rusty mountains that has very little vegetation.

The moment has come to make our way closer to the picturesque Moon Lake. Before we reach Baatal, where there are no people and we won't see another one till we reach the Chandratal Lake, we will go through a number of the stopovers. After travelling for a few more kilometres, the road will fork into two distinct paths, one of which will take you to Kunzum Pass and the other to Moon Lake. Your buttocks will continue to be jarred till we reach Lakes as a result of the rough paths. In order to accommodate travellers on their way through the region, a number of camping places have been set up a few kilometres before the lake. While the road dead-ends a kilometre before the lake, we are allowed to ride our bicycles as near to the water as we can go. The brilliant emerald lake gradually shows up after being drawn in by the pristine beauty of the area. It is an extended lake in the form of a crescent moon that is three kilometres wide. When circumambulating, one may use a drone to gain an aerial view, which can be used to compute the form and size of the object. The lake, which serves as an oasis in the midst of the harsh deserts, maintains its green tint throughout the day. There is nothing there except a barren wasteland, with the exception of the plant life that is flourishing successfully beside the river flow. Before heading back to Baatal, we'll kill some time exploring the area surrounding the lake. Tents will be our accommodations for the night at Baatal.

Prepare to make the journey back to Manali through the Rohtang Pass by gathering your belongings. It will take roughly four to five hours to get in Manali, and once there, visitors will be able to go for any location of their choosing.
