Overview
BEAS KUND TREK
The Beas Kund trek starts from Solang, the tourist destinations for adventure activities. The trail winds up through dense foliage of pine and rhododendron, green meadows, quaint hamlets and along the course of the Beas River. The best time for the trek is May through October, when higher elevations have a heavy layer of snow. The Beas Kund trek is a fantastic weekend excursion into Manali's hinterland. This quick trip takes you through a variety of terrains- large meadows, highland vegetation, rolling hills, cascading river, moraines, ice, and scree. The full splendor of the valley of Manali can be seen throughout the trail.
The first campsite on the trek is at Bakr Thach which is often used as the starting point for several climbing expeditions, hence usually crowded with trekkers and mountaineers. The trek from Bakr Thach till the gorgeous Lake of Beas Kund, becomes a bit tedious, over high ridges and expansive moraines. It provides a considerable height gain and an incredible experience for a novice at a height of 3700m/12140ft. The hike offers all aspects of high-altitude hiking in a pleasant way- perfect for introducing oneself to the world of hiking and mountaineering.
Hindus hold the Beas River in reverence, as it was created by Sage Ved Vyas, the author of the Mahabharata, from Beas Kund, the river's source. The Beas Kund, is a venerated place where one may wash away his/her evil feelings and replenish their minds with humility and honesty. Each visitor is overcome by a spiritual mood that permeates the sacred place. Huge mountain ranges with impressive peaks like Hanuman Tibba, Friendship, Shetidhar, Ladhakhi, and others surround the sanctified lake of Beas Kund. The Beas river itself flows for more than 500 kilometers before merging with the Sutlej River near Kapurthala in Punjab.

➽ Itinerary of Trek
By afternoon, arrive in Manali, do all the formalities, and then visit the city. We'll be staying in hotel rooms for the evening.
Pack everything you'll need for the stroll in order to be prepared for an adventure. After a hearty breakfast, we will take a vehicle to Solang, where we will start our trip to Dhundi, the last settlement along the road. Up till Dhundi, there is a project-built road; beyond that, we must bridge a river and take a route into the alpine woods. It's a leisurely walk along the Beas River as it flows among sloping meadows decorated with beautiful flora. The journey offers breathtaking valley colours that are appealing all day long. As the hills quickly level out along the ridgeline, the interesting Bakar Thach campsite becomes visible. For the most majority of climbing expeditions conducted in Manali, it serves as the departure point. Peaks is the ideal place to start an excursion since it is surrounded by many mountain ranges. We'll spend the night here and make camp. You may stroll about in the evening and observe the size of the enormous ranges of terrains luring one to appreciate the wonderful beauty.
We will ascend to Beas Kund today, a holy lake encircled by remote mountain ranges. A terrific day of trailing through large boulders, moraines, ice scree, and different terrain awaits. In order to reach the sacred Lake, we must first traverse a moraine region, then experience some mild ups and downs with a river to cross. We can see a lake at the foot of a mountain as we get closer to the end of the moraines. The approach to the lake is gentle with a little slope and follows the river. The lake is not very big, but being blessed spiritually is very important. The sage Beas wrote the epic Mahabharata while meditating here. Any feminine genders are not allowed to approach or go near the lake, which has been designated sacred. It is forbidden to yell trash in any way. Locals sometimes visit this location to offer prayers to the lake and the well-known sage Beas for prosperity and health. We'll have a quiet period before heading back to Bakar Thach. After arriving at the camp in the late afternoon, we'll relax with a warm cup of tea. Campgrounds will be where the evenings are spent.
After a leisurely breakfast, go to Solang before descending to Dhundi. At order to transport you to Manali, our vehicle will be waiting for you in Solang. In Manali, where the tour will come to a close, the group will disperse to visit their preferred locations.

➽ Preparation for Trek
As you well know, the great Himalayan trek is one that requires careful preparation, a strategy that allows for enough flexibility to adapt to whatever challenges may arise.
Therefore, here are some things to consider before setting out on your trek:
⦿ Physically – You should start working out at least a month before signing up for a program if you want to be physically prepared for the rigours of a journey. Strengthen your legs by jogging and working out regularly to increase your stamina. To better acclimatise to the environment and increase your resilience on the walk, you should give up smoking and undertake breathing exercises twice a day. Engage in vigorous physical activity, such as playing sports, doing Yoga, or running.
⦿ Mentally –
Getting in shape physically is essential, but mental preparation is just as crucial for a successful walk. Take time to enjoy your regular activities, maintain a healthy diet and sleep schedule, and unwind before embarking on a hike. Predictions regarding the journey should not cause mental worry. Spend time with your closest pals to recharge your batteries and renew your spirit. Pre-trek preconceptions are unwarranted since the first contact with the other trekkers is certain to be a source of inspiration and energy. Conditions during the walk will contribute to the increase in mental readiness. The mental repercussions of physical disadvantages will not be ignored. So, when you hike, pay attention to different regions of your body and purposefully relax them. If you want to enjoy your hike, you should learn to loosen up a little, particularly in the hips. Think about your descent as a simple dance, and enjoy the natural rhythms that the path and your body can discover together gradually, whether you're on a flowing downhill route or a frightening slope. Try out a few new walking techniques to add some fun to your commute without worrying about getting somewhere in particular. Maintaining mental fitness mostly requires a willingness to relax and take in the journey, rather than subjecting oneself to undue stress.
⦿ Technically-
Get the right size hiking boots and go for it, from a technical standpoint. You should make use of 60 litres. To become acclimated to carrying heavy items, it is recommended to utilise a backpack on a regular basis. Get a hiking stick, a water bottle, some thermal socks, a fleece or feather coat, some long pants, a poncho, some flip-flops, and any devices you may need like a camera or a power bank (DSLR or digital camera).
