It is the first day of our trekking, you must prepare yourself to go on a lovely trek. We will start our trek from Manali in the morning. All of us will gather at one place and begin our trekking journey by 9 am. We have to drive for almost 2 hours to reach Gulaba. Although it is morning for driving, you will still enjoy the enchanting views of the spots on your route. You can capture the images of this journey with your camera.

Throughout the route from Manali to Gulaba, you will witness many old structures designed in Himachali style. The street is also full of small markets, large metallic buildings, and small rivers. Beas River will follow you on the trip and give a cool breeze to your face.

After the Beas River, we have to drive for about 45 minutes to enter Rohtang Pass. This road divides Rohtang Pass and the Kullu district. Golden apple trees and lush green meadows will enhance your trekking moment. You will also see beautiful clouds waving at you with a huge smile. Gulaba is home to many vultures that you will see throughout your trip.

There is a government check post after a distance of 21 km. You have to carry all the important documents to pass this check post. Finally, we will reach the starting point of Trek Gulaba.

2. Trek from Gulaba to Rola Kholi

Now, our trekking will start from Gulaba. We all have to cross the road and begin to walk continuously. On the way, you will get many streams at a distance of 3 to 4 km to fulfill your water needs. One thing to note on this trekking route is that it has constant steep ascents without any descents. So, this terrain is a bit tough to climb but it is manageable by many trekkers.

This trekking trail is filled with thick dense forests, Himalayan birch, oak trees, and pine trees. You will also hear the sound of small insects in the middle of your way. This route looks like a wonderland with misty clouds and dew drops. After traveling a distance of about 2 km, you will reach Rola Kholi. It is a wonderful grassland with breathtaking beauty.

Now, you will get the first water stream at Rola Kholi to fill your bottles. It is lunchtime and we will all enjoy lunch near terrain covered with colorful flowers such as dandelions and so on. Different colors of elegant flowers will soothe your mind and give the appearance of a picture created by a painter.

You can also capture the views of the gigantic Solang Valley and Beas Kund Valley from this point. After traveling a distance of 6 km, we will reach a steep pathway. We have to walk on this path for about 6 hours and then we will reach Rola Kholi, the campsite. Rola Kholi is an amazing place to witness the series of twinkling stars at night. You will also get an opportunity to see different peaks such as Hanuman Tibba, Deo Tibba, Seven Sister Peaks, and Beas Kund valley.

It is the last day of trekking. As usual, we will start our journey from Rola Kholi at 8 am. We will follow the same route that we followed from Manali to Gulaba. Now, you can have a sigh of relief as there are no ascents on this route. You have to walk on continuous descents. This route is easier than the earlier routes. After reaching Gulaba, a vehicle will arrive to pick us up.

We will reach Manali at 2 pm. From Manali, we all will depart and head toward our routes. You can stay in Manali for a couple of days to enjoy its pristine beauty and surreal environment.
