Arrive in Manali - drive to 'dA Base’ - Medical checkup and Acclimatization hike

We will receive you on your arrival in Manali then drive to ‘dA Base’, our base in Manali. Unwind after the long drive. We will settle you in at our base for the rest of the day. Unwind and take in the environs. Acclimatize to the environs. Go through your checklist and finish off last minute essential shopping (from Manali) for the trek. Though, it is advisable to trek light with special import on the clothing and gear.

In the evening we'll get together for “round the bonfire” conference with the other climbers and the team members of Mountaineerz who would be your guides on the expedition. Break the ice with some great dinner and chill with your fellow climbers.

Make sure you drill your guides and instructors with any questions or doubts you may have pertaining to the trek. They will be happy to answer your questions and share with you a few tricks of the trade and tips to make your adventure a happy and successful one.

Mountaineerz only have a few questions for you…

Please ensure, for your own trekking pleasure you pack a big heart and only the absolute essentials. Remember, the Guides only have your best interest in mind and any decision they take is taken keeping your safety and the success of the expedition in mind. Any decisions taken by the guides and instructors will be deemed as final.

Be patient and respectful towards your fellow climbers. Remember, up there, you only have your wits and your fellow climbers.

Today we'll go out on a short hike and explore the beautiful village of Soil or Soyal. Later, check your gear with the guides and make sure that you offload any extra weight. Your guide will help you decide what is not required.

We encourage you to interact with your fellow climbers and update yourself and get all queries answered.
