Begin your adventure at Himalayan Frontiers Camps in Old Manali. After freshening up, drive to Kulang, the trek’s starting point. Follow an ancient British-era route through dense forests as you ascend to Moridugh. The scenic trail offers breathtaking views and leads to a campsite at 9500 ft, where you can capture stunning sunset photographs against the Dhauladhar range. Overnight stay at the campsite

Start your day with an early morning breakfast before embarking on the trek to Bhrigu Lake. This trail offers panoramic views of the Dhauladhar Range, including Hanuman Tibba (5928m), Manali Peak, and Friendship Peak. Expect snow-covered paths, adding an adventurous touch to the journey. Upon reaching Bhrigu Lake, soak in its spiritual significance, as it is believed to be the meditation site of Rishi Bhrigu. Spend time admiring the serene waters, capturing photographs, and embracing the sacred atmosphere before trekking back to the campsite. End the day with a bonfire and a cozy overnight stay.

After breakfast, begin your descent from Moridugh to Kulang village, retracing the scenic route from the first day. The downhill trek takes approximately 3 hours, offering one last chance to soak in the lush forests and mountain views.
