Itinerary

Take AC Volvo Coach from Delhi to Manali by 18:00 hrs. Overnight journey.

Arrive Manali by morning at 08:30 hrs. On arrival meet our executive and transfer to hotel. The day is for rest and get acclimatise. Overnight in hotel.

In the morning after breakfast drive to Udaipur. It is a full days drive from Manali to Udaipur in Lahaul Valley. Udaipur is only at 2650m so there is no drama regarding acclimatization for new arrivals. Overnight stay in Guest House.

This portion of the Miyar valley has a road to within 1 or 2 kms from Urgos. So we can take a taxi to there, or to Urgos if the road has been finished. From Udaipur the trail follows the Miyar Nullah (river) to Chamrat (2950m), the first of the Buddhist Villages in the Miyar Valley. The walking time is about 4 – 5 hours. Urgos (3250m) is the main village in the valley and it is from here that the approach to the mountain proper is made.

Will need to hire porters to help us for the one-day walk to base camp.

The Friendship Peak Climbing is very interesting. From base camp to camp 1 you must travel across a glacier that provides complete exposure to a Himalayan Glacier. Lots of crevasses and excitement. This takes you to camp one at Urgos pass. From Camp 1 to Camp 2 we must fix the rope over an icefall to camp 2. Camp 2 is the final camp before the summit.

Walk out from base camp and return to Manali.

The day is free. By evening catch AC Volvo coach for Delhi at 16:30 hrs. Overnight journey...
