About this activity

The Khanpari Tibba trek is a lesser-known but stunning trekking route located near Manali, in the Kullu Valley of Himachal Pradesh. This trek offers adventurers an opportunity to explore the pristine beauty of the Himalayas without the crowds that frequent more popular trails. The trail takes you through dense forests of deodar and pine, meadows dotted with wildflowers and offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. As you ascend, the vegetation thins out, revealing vast expanses of alpine meadows. At the summit, trekkers are rewarded with breathtaking 360-degree views of the Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar ranges. The sight of snow-capped peaks, deep valleys, and the Beas River meandering far below makes the effort worthwhile. On clear days, you might even catch a glimpse of the majestic peaks like Hanuman Tibba, Deo Tibba, and Indrasan. Along the way, trekkers might encounter a variety of wildlife, including Himalayan Monal, and musk deer. The Khanpari Tibba trek is perfect for those seeking an offbeat adventure with moderate difficulty.
