The Baggi Winter Trek is specially crafted to give you a taste of life in a secluded Himalayan wonderland during the magical winters!!

Lying above the busy town of Manali, the Baggi Trek is a stark contrast to everything one experiences in the hustle & bustle of the iconic hill town down below!!

A relatively easy trail that doesn't see heavy footfall at this time of the year, the Baggi trek lets you enjoy the peace of the woods, the scenic campsites, snow in the upper reaches, and jaw dropping sights of the towering Deo Tibba, Hanuman Tibba and the Friendship peak!!

The trail proceeds through thick coniferous forests and takes you through secluded villages covered in snow. Indulge in fascinating conversations with the charming locals, indulge in silent conversations at the campsites over a hot cup of tea, and watch the snow flakes gently falling over the stagnant deodars. A perfect way to live that surreal fantasy you had always dreamt of !!!

    Leaving Shuru behind, we make our way into a beautiful coniferous forest, and start climbing steeply. We soon cover a decent altitude, and reach a spot giving a stunning view of the Manali valley in the background. A few minutes of a gentle walk, and we arrive at an opening through the woods. This is Baggi, our camp for the day!! Hot lunch will be served, and you are free to roam around and soak in the bewitching vistas !

    Post breakfast, we depart for Tilgan, which is a path through open patches, as well as thick coniferous forests. During snowfall, when the entire surrounding gets covered in a thick blanket of snow, this stretch of 3 kms takes around 4 hours to complete. Generally, its a moderate trek with a gradual ascend in altitude. You will find some scattered houses and open fields providing a stunning view of snowclad mountains all around.

    Hot lunch followed by tea and snacks in the evening.

    You’ll have enough time to spend some ‘me time’ in this wonderland and capture the vistas in your cameras!! We then begin our descend back to the first halt of the trek, Baggi, albeit, through a different route!! It’s all downhill from hereon!!

    Overnight in tents.
