Itinerary

Today the team arrives in Manali latest by 11 am. The day is critical not just because we can acclimatize a bit but also because we need to assemble as a team and get certain permits for the expedition. Although Mt. Hanuman Tibba is listed as a Trekking peak by IMF the new process established by IMF in Manali region prescribes that the team provides an intimation along with copies of ID proofs of all participants and Guide. IMF has designated a regional office in Manali for trekking in the upper Himalayan stretches. Once we have a receiving on this intimation from IMF regional office, we need 2 more permits, 1 from BRO and other from SDM. These two permits are required only to use a vehicle on the road between Solang Nala & Dhundi. In case we do not get these two permits we will hike from Solang Nala to Dhundi which is 7 Km walk on the road along the River. Team members stay at a common hotel in Manali and spend some nice prep time in the evening together for a better understanding of each other.

Today we start early morning in a vehicle to Dhundi and reach there by 8 am. The common luggage and ration would be carried by mules for us today till Bakkarthatch where we set up base camp. The trek is fairly easy today with a steady incline trail. We cross 3-4 fixed camps in Dhundi where “sailanis” should be visible around the year. Initially, the trail is on the true left side of the Beas River that flows alongside through the day. Soon, we cross a wooden bridge without any “railings”. If you have any phobia from water, this bridge can be a bit exciting for you. From here, we keep walking through the lush green trail on the true right side of the Beas River. In the months of May and June, you may spot some snow on the ridges on the far left side. As you near Bakkarthatch, you would cross 2-3 small streams of tributaries of the main river. We should reach here by around 12 noon. Post lunch, we start setting up our base camp here.

Post breakfast, we’ll continue on our way up the Beas Kund Glacier. A short but steep climb takes you to a 300m long moraine field. You will come across a vast flatland with small boulders and streams, flanked by huge mountain faces and hanging glaciers. We will camp several kilometers away from Beas Kund, at the base of Tentu Pass.

Today we will rest and acclimatize properly. We will check and distribute the technical gear, crampon fitting, and a general meeting on how we’ll proceed over the coming days.

Today we will load ferry to the Advanced Base Camp that is just below the Tentu Pass and the other team members will do ice climbing practice on the glacier. We will return to Base camp and spend the night here.

Today we move to Advanced Base Camp. Overnight in tents.

Today we will be walking up a steep slope of hardened snow and arrive at camp 1, which is half way up the mountain side in time to have our packed lunch. We will be camping on snow from now onwards. we climb to the top of Tentu Pass which is very steep and arduous. We will have to fix ropes if and when needed. The top of the pass provides amazing views of the ranges flanking from all sides.

Today's trek is a long and tough one over a continuous glacier navigating crevasses. We will setup camp at Summit camp and prepare for the next days summit attempt.

Post-midnight after a hot cup of tea we will attempt for the summit. The summit gives you panoramic views of the peaks of Dhauladar, Pir Panjal and Greater Himalayan Ranges. Following the summit attempt, we will descent our way down to camp 1.

Today we will pack up Camp 1 and move down to Base camp. Overnight in tents.

Today we will rest at Base Camp and pack up for the return trek to Solang Valley.

The Mt. Hanuman Tibba Expedition offers a range of highlights that make it a captivating and rewarding mountaineering experience in the Indian Himalayas. Firstly, ascending Mt. Hanuman Tibba, with its impressive elevation of 5,932M, provides climbers with a sense of achievement and the opportunity to conquer a challenging peak. The trail to this pyramid shaped peak passes through the beautiful alpine meadows of Solang Valley, glaciers and rivers of Beas Kund and finally across the imposing Tentu Pass giving you stunning and diverse change in scenery all throughout the expedition. The summit offers you unimaginable views of the ocean of mountains that you get to witness. Considered as a highly technical climb, not many have scaled this mountain.

The trek to the base camp of Mt. Hanuman Tibba involves traversing through diverse terrain, ranging from dense forests to high-altitude rocky slopes. It is a technical expedition which requires use of technical gear. Basic mountaineering skills are mandatory. It should only be attempted by experienced trekkers with prior experience in high altitudes.

The best months for this expedition are June to October.

In Manali, we stay at a hotel. On the expedition we have twin-sharing tents. In case you want an individual tent, you can add that to your booking request for an additional cost. On higher camps, due to lack of space to pitch tents, the tents will be on a 4 person sharing basis. The tents used on higher camps are much more spacious and sturdy with ample space.

The temperature at the base of the mountain may range from 10 to 20°C, while at higher altitudes, it can drop to 0 to 5°C or even lower, especially at night. During winters, temperatures can be extremely cold - dropping well below freezing, especially at higher elevations.

Yes. Mt. Hanuman Tibba Expedition does require prior knowledge of technical equipment and mountaineering techniques such as the use of ice axes, roping up procedures, rappelling, crampons, and jumar climbing.

A Basic Mountaineering Course certification from one of the five recognized mountaineering institutes in India is a minimum requirement to join our team. Our field experts are also trained in basic medicine and first-aid response. For practical training, we simulate on-ground situations to prepare them for quick thinking and quick response during emergencies.

We follow a rigorous regime of hiring and training our experts on the field. Each trek leader is a certified mountaineer with years of experience in the field. The interview process to bring a trek leader on-board is close to 6 months long where we assess various skills as well as personality traits of an individual. They also go through an on-field assignment as part of the hiring process. Trek leaders also progress in time from leading easier treks before advancing to the more difficult ones where the stakes are higher.

It absolutely is. We recognize, value and embody the ideology that the world of outdoor adventure can benefit from diversity. We make it our mission to create outdoor spaces as equally accessible and safe for all genders as possible. We also encourage women leaders in the outdoors and all of our staff (irrespective of gender) is gender sensitised. As for accommodation, in case there are no other women on the trek, a solo female trekker is provided with a separate single-occupancy tent.

Our batch sizes for Mt. Hanuman Tibba Expedition are capped at 12 with the trek leader to trekker ratio of 1:4.

In addition to their qualification, our trek leaders are trained to tackle any and all kinds of sudden conditions that may present themselves on ground. During our recce stage, we study the trail in great detail and map out rescue routes before opening it up for our trekkers. We also have local support staff stationed in each area to arrange for emergency services at the place of need as quickly as possible.

We mobilise road rescue efforts where our trek leaders bring the person to be rescued down to the trailhead of the trek from where a car can take them to the nearest healthcare facility. The cost of rescue is not covered in the trek fee that we charge. It must be borne by the participant. However, if you opt for the insurance the cost of rescue operations can be claimed from the Insurance company on production of valid proof e.g. doctor’s prescription & hospital bills etc. Please note that HIM EXPED is only a facilitator & not a party in the Insurance policy.

We have rolling camps on all our trails.

This is a complex question and has a compound answer. The simple response is that because it is bad for the environment which we dearly

There are a number of measures that we take to prevent overcrowding on some of the most popular trails. Some of them are capping our group size at 15, capping the number of trekkers on a trail to 250 per season, constantly looking for newer trails and routes to spread the crowd around and providing incentives to our trekkers to try unexplored territories with us. We put in place the system of dynamic pricing, which is the first of its kind in the trekking industry, which incentivises trekkers to choose less crowded trails by offering higher discounts. We have noticed, since we started this system, that this has helped in a big way to spread out the crowds between trekking routes.

Some basic things to remember are: do not use water, do not dispose of anything non-biodegradable inside the pits, carry your own roll of toilet paper and remember to cover up after yourself to leave a clean toilet for your fellow trekkers. Everything else is much the same like using an Indian style home toilet!

Most wet wipes are not biodegradable which means it could take 100 years or more for them to decompose – not the best thing if you are trying to ‘Leave No Trace’, right?

Each trekker is responsible for the use and hygiene of their own eating utensils. And as a measure to maintain proper hygiene, we do not provide plates and spoons. Also, dipping your hands in cold water to wash your own utensils adds something to the overall joy of high-altitude living, wouldn’t you think?

On making the payment, you will receive a booking confirmation along with the packing list and a copy of the undertaking form via email. You will subsequently receive emails detailing documents required, how to prepare physically and mentally for the trek, information on pick-up location on the first day etc. Please add info@himexped.com in your trusted emails list to make sure our emails don't go to your spam folder.

Feel free to seek any clarifications you require in regards to the trek, on the group itself. Updates related to transportation/pickup point/pickup timing, accommodation etc. will be shared on the Whatsapp group as well.

Yes, we create a Whatsapp group a few weeks before the departure date so that the flow of information remains smooth and transparent.

Yes, it is one of the mandatory documents you will need to submit before the trek starts. The soft copy is to be sent to us & the original should be on your person while on the trek.
