Arrive at Manali early in the morning, and our staff will be waiting to greet you. We will have to take a short drive from Manali to Gulaba. To get there, first drive up to Solang Valley till we pass the barrier. We disembark, gather our bags, and start up the arduous trek. A gradual ascent on the meadows leads to alpine meadows after passing through lovely trees in a loop. The climb provides far-reaching vistas of the valley as well as a variety of daily scenery changes. As we climb higher, the spectator starts to get enthralled by the woodland's expansive panorama. After 3 hours of hiking, we will reach Raoli Kholi, our first campsite. A better campsite than higher ones where the wind is colder is one that is situated just beyond the treeline.

Since it would take us a long time to go to Bhrigu Lake, we set off early this morning. The journey covers a range of terrains, such as mild inclines, easy walking, and snow-covered ice and scree. The moderate path will lead us to an open region surrounded by stony mountains and a chilly stream after we first go up the steep climb till we reach there. The route then becomes steeper as it climbs to the top of the ridgeline. After this hill, there is a brief period of pain, then a series of easy treks. You will be in awe of the expansive views till we reach the summit of the trek. Due to the presence of huge rocks, stones, ice, and snow, the grade is high. Altitude sickness is brought on by the height gain and the thinned air as we ascend these cliffs. But don't worry; unless you're really unwell, this is just how our bodies naturally respond when we're at such heights. After completing this challenging portion, we'll go on to several more hills where the gradient gradually flattens, presenting the alluring Lake in front of us. The lake, nestled among the Rocky Mountains, is difficult to see until the last point of approach due to its crater-like structure. It is located on a mountain range that reaches all the way up to the Bhrighu Mountains from the bustling town of Vashisht. The lake is revered because Maharishi Bhrighu spent a lot of time contemplating here before he attained enlightenment. Locals sometimes go to the lake each year, but hikers travel constantly. Although the lake is deep and holy, it is forbidden to trash or use leather goods nearby. In addition, the location provides beautiful views of some of the most well-known mountains, such as Hanuman Tibba, Indrasan, and Deo Tibba. We'll have lunch, take some pictures, and then make our way back to the campsite. If you don't pay attention to the path as you're walking down, you might slip and twist your ankle. Thus, avoid foolishness and pay attention to the slants. You may move about freely on the grassy slopes after negotiating the challenging part of boulders and stones. A nice cup of tea will be ready for us when we get to our campground in the evening, which will happen shortly. Once there, unwind in your tents, have supper, and spend the night in the wilderness.

We will eat properly today before starting the Pandu ropa ascent to the Vashisht. The path is straightforward and contours beautifully to the right of the Raoli Kholi camp. We will descend into Pandu Ropa's vast meadows, a breathtaking area abounding with tiny plant life. From here, we'll turn around and go into the forest until we get to it. We will go beside the woodlands all the way to the village. The woodlands start to disappear as we approach the settlement, giving way to apple and rice orchards. One may get a view of the majestic Manali valley as they descend the mountain. The hot spring in Vashisht is the hike's endpoint. By the time we get in Vashisht, you may take a hot bath in one of the pools that are just outside the temple. These hot springs will relieve tension, exhaustion, and filth after days of seclusion. At Vashisht, where our trek comes to an end, you are free to go on to different programmes.
