The Orchid Manali - 13th September 2025

Top Trekking Trails in Manali: Adventures in the Himalayas

Manali, nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, is a trekking paradise offering diverse trails for beginners and seasoned adventurers. From easy strolls to challenging climbs, these treks immerse you in breathtaking landscapes, lush valleys, and majestic mountain peaks. Whether you're seeking a leisurely hike or an adrenaline-pumping adventure, Manali’s trails promise unforgettable experiences.

Easy: Vashisht Jogni Waterfall Trek

The Jogini Waterfall Trek is one of the easiest treks in Manali, covering approximately 3 km one-way. Starting from the Vashisht Temple, the trail takes you through charming villages, apple orchards, and dense forests, all offering beautiful views of the Manali Valley. The trek leads to the base of the stunning Jogini Waterfall, where you can enjoy the peaceful sound of cascading water and cool off in the serene surroundings. The trek takes about 2 to 3 hours, making it the perfect option for beginners or those looking for a short hike.

Tip: Wear sturdy shoes and carry water and snacks, as the trail lacks refreshment options.

Moderate: Bhrigu Lake Trek

Famed for its alpine lake, the Bhrigu Lake Trek is a moderate 4-day trail starting from Gulaba village, 24 km from Manali. Ascend through lush meadows with unobstructed views of Mt. Hanuman Tibba, Pir Panjal, and Dhauladhar ranges, and Deo Tibba. At the lake, you’ll find serenity amid the pristine waters surrounded by snow.

Tip: Acclimatize in Manali for a day before starting to prevent altitude sickness.

Moderate: Beas Kund Trek

The Beas Kund Trek offers an enchanting journey to the pristine source of the Beas River over four memorable days. Beginning at Dhundi, this 14.5 km trek offers breathtaking vistas of Friendship Peak, Shitidhar, and Hanuman Tibba, making it an unforgettable journey through nature's grandeur. The path winds through lush alpine meadows adorned with vibrant wildflowers, creating a scene of natural splendor. At the trek’s culmination, the serene source of Beas Kund awaits, inviting you to revel in its crystal-clear beauty and tranquil ambiance.

Tip: Pack light, but carry essential gear like a raincoat and first-aid kit.

Challenging: Hampta Pass Trek

The Hampta Pass Trek is an exhilarating journey connecting Kullu Valley to Spiti Valley. Over six exhilarating days and roughly 26 km, experience diverse terrains including river crossings, rugged rocky paths, and snow-clad landscapes. The journey offers a striking juxtaposition: the verdant beauty of Kullu's lush valleys gradually gives way to the stark, arid magnificence of Spiti's barren landscapes, showcasing the contrasting yet equally captivating Himalayan facets.

Tip: This trek requires good physical fitness, so prepare with regular cardio and strength training exercises beforehand.

Hard: Pin Parvati Pass Trek

Reserved for seasoned trekkers, the Pin Parvati Pass Trek spans 11 days and covers over 100 km. It’s a test of endurance, but the rewards are unparalleled—breathtaking views of Pin Valley National Park, vast glaciers, and ancient monasteries. The trek transitions from the lush Parvati Valley to the arid landscapes of Spiti, making it a trekker’s dream.

Tip: Hire a guide and ensure you are well-equipped with weather-appropriate gear.
