Today the team arrives in Manali latest by 11 am. The day is critical not just because we can acclimatize a bit but also because we need to assemble as a team and get certain permits for the expedition. Although Mt. Hanuman Tibba is listed as a Trekking peak by IMF the new process established by IMF in Manali region prescribes that the team provides an intimation along with copies of ID proofs of all participants and Guide. IMF has designated a regional office in Manali for trekking in the upper Himalayan stretches. Once we have a receiving on this intimation from IMF regional office, we need 2 more permits, 1 from BRO and other from SDM. These two permits are required only to use a vehicle on the road between Solang Nala & Dhundi. In case we do not get these two permits we will hike from Solang Nala to Dhundi which is 7 Km walk on the road along the River. Team members stay at a common hotel in Manali and spend some nice prep time in the evening together for a better understanding of each other.
Today we start early morning in a vehicle to Dhundi and reach there by 8 am. The common luggage and ration would be carried by mules for us today till Bakkarthatch where we set up base camp. The trek is fairly easy today with a steady incline trail. We cross 3-4 fixed camps in Dhundi where “sailanis” should be visible around the year. Initially, the trail is on the true left side of the Beas River that flows alongside through the day. Soon, we cross a wooden bridge without any “railings”. If you have any phobia from water, this bridge can be a bit exciting for you. From here, we keep walking through the lush green trail on the true right side of the Beas River. In the months of May and June, you may spot some snow on the ridges on the far left side. As you near Bakkarthatch, you would cross 2-3 small streams of tributaries of the main river. We should reach here by around 12 noon. Post lunch, we start setting up our base camp here.
Post breakfast, we’ll continue on our way up the Beas Kund Glacier. A short but steep climb takes you to a 300m long moraine field. You will come across a vast flatland with small boulders and streams, flanked by huge mountain faces and hanging glaciers. We will camp several kilometers away from Beas Kund, at the base of Tentu Pass.
Today we will rest and acclimatize properly. We will check and distribute the technical gear, crampon fitting, and a general meeting on how we’ll proceed over the coming days.
Today we will load ferry to the Advanced Base Camp that is just below the Tentu Pass and the other team members will do ice climbing practice on the glacier. We will return to Base camp and spend the night here.
Today we move to Advanced Base Camp. Overnight in tents.
Today we will be walking up a steep slope of hardened snow and arrive at camp 1, which is half way up the mountain side in time to have our packed lunch. We will be camping on snow from now onwards. we climb to the top of Tentu Pass which is very steep and arduous. We will have to fix ropes if and when needed. The top of the pass provides amazing views of the ranges flanking from all sides.
Today's trek is a long and tough one over a continuous glacier navigating crevasses. We will setup camp at Summit camp and prepare for the next days summit attempt.
Post-midnight after a hot cup of tea we will attempt for the summit. The summit gives you panoramic views of the peaks of Dhauladar, Pir Panjal and Greater Himalayan Ranges. Following the summit attempt, we will descent our way down to camp 1.
Today we will pack up Camp 1 and move down to Base camp. Overnight in tents.
Today we will rest at Base Camp and pack up for the return trek to Solang Valley.
Today we will trek back to Dhundi where our vehicles will receive you and drive you to Manali. We bid you goodbye today.
Reserve a day for summit climb if the weather does not allow you to summit the day before.
