Seven days out of Manali, one high walk

The week is a base. One day goes up toward Hampta’s start, and the rest does not pretend to be a crossing.

Before you go. If the taxi driver says the road is shut, believe them. Do not make the high day a dare.

Overview

I am not writing the full Hampta crossing. This notebook is for someone who wants one hard day and a bed every night.

Day by day

  1. Day 1 — Settle the base

    Manali, dorm, nothing ambitious.

  2. Day 2 — Acclimatise on foot

    A long walk in town and up toward Vashisht. Back before dark.

  3. Day 3 — Rest

    Sleep is the training.

  4. Day 4 — The high day

    Shared taxi toward the road head, walk until the turnaround time you set in the morning, then down.

  5. Day 5 — Easy town

    Food and laundry.

  6. Day 6 — Buffer

    Weather day. Use it or don’t.

  7. Day 7 — Leave

    Bus down to the plains.

Where to sleep, eat, and how to get there

Stay

Where to sleep

Same dorm all week so the bag stays put on the high day.

Move

How to arrive

One shared seat in. Walk after that. Leave a buffer on the day you go home.
