At eleven o'clock in the morning, everyone in the group will meet at the location where they will be picked up, and there, the leader of the hike will provide a briefing during which he or she will go over all of the important information about the hike. After that, we will make our way to Jobra, which is the starting point for the hike to Hampta Pass and is situated at an elevation of 2,939 metres (9,379 feet). Although though there are numerous hairpin curves on the road on the trip from Manali, it is still considered to be a picturesque drive because of the expansive vista of Kullu Valley that you get to get a peek of. We will arrive at Jobra after making our way through some really dense woods that are filled with pine, maple, and silver birch trees. After a little period of rest, we will set off on our journey towards Chika. During hiking, one is afforded the opportunity to see a scene that is both peaceful and invigorating. To say that the terrain that the hiking path passes through is gorgeous would be an understatement. The trail passes through lush green woods that are made up of maple, oak, and deodar trees, as well as meadows that are crossed by the Rani Nallah stream. Chika will serve as our base of operations. It is the ideal place to spend tranquil moments because to the expansive flora that covers the area and the clear sky that can be seen above. In the evening, we will have dinner, and then we will spend the night in Chika.

We shall have breakfast first thing in the morning, and then we will go to Balu Ka Ghera. The word "Balu" means "sand," and the route certainly lives up to its name. After a brief stroll across the meadow, the terrain quickly changes to consist of boulders and loose pebbles, elevating this section of the journey to the more difficult category. The splendour of this hike lies in the fact that it affords participants the opportunity to experience the enchantment of nature firsthand in the form of breathtaking vistas. On the one side, you have the fast-moving Jwara river that seems to be following in your footsteps, while on the other hand, the majestic Dhauladhar mountains call you to come closer. In the middle of the verdant canopies, a waterfall's cascading stream would be waiting. As you approach the beginning of Balu ka Ghera, often referred to as Chota Balu ka Ghera, the landscape will have begun to become more level. As you continue to go forward, the landscape will start to get more rocky, with the rocks being farther apart from one another, making it more difficult to navigate through. Soon, we will arrive at Balu Ka Ghera, where we will pitch up camp amid the mountains. The Hampta pass will be waiting for us beyond those mountains. We will have supper together in the evening, and then spend the night under the twinkling stars.

After breakfast, we will make our way to Sia Goru, which is the location of our next camping spot. The whole path is made up of stones, making the descent more difficult and highlighting the need of our vigilance in this situation. During the way, we will be passing via Hampta Pass, which is a breathtaking path that has a river running through the middle of it. Along the bank, there are blooming flowers in a rainbow of hues, making it a beautiful sight to see. You will also get the opportunity to witness the peak of Deo Tibba drawing you in closer. After our time spent taking in the scenery above Hampta Pass, we will set off on our descent. The terrain on the route heading downward is composed of slick dirt and loose stones. You will go to the valley below along a path that winds and turns, and after some time of walking, you will eventually reach the bottom of the mountain. The gap that suddenly appears in front of you leads to Sia Goru, which is where we will set up camp for the night, and the rest of the day will be spent at your leisure. The evening will begin with dinner, and then the guests will retire for the night in Sia Goru.

After a leisurely breakfast in the wee hours of the morning, we will set off on the descent to Chatru. The huge region is devoid of flora, yet the treacherous slopes will provide you with the surge of adrenaline that you may be looking for. Since the descent is challenging, you may need to maintain an increased level of vigilance. After we have arrived in Chatru, we will get in the car and go for Chandratal, a stunning lake that is around 45 kilometres away from the campground. But, in order to make the travel, we would need to have favourable weather since we anticipate that the current weather conditions would be challenging. After taking in the breathtaking sites along the way and appreciating the splendour of the natural world, we will make our way back to Chatru to establish our base camp there. In the evening, we will have dinner, and then we will spend the night in Chatru.

We shall begin our return trip and travel from Chatru to Manali after having some tea and breakfast quite early in the morning. The breathtaking sights throughout the picturesque drive include the majesty of the surrounding mountains and the flow of the Chandra river. In addition to this, you get to drive through the iconic Atal Tunnel, which in and of itself makes the journey immensely satisfying. After arriving in Manali, the party will happen and go their own ways, taking with them many happy memories.
