Overview

Miyar Valley Trek starts from Udaipur in Lahaul, Himachal Pradesh. The trail starts from the village of Shukto in the stunning Miyar Valley - the Yosemite of the Himalaya. The walk is mostly on an easy flat trail through some of the most spectacular landscapes in the Central Himalaya. Miyar valley hosts medicinal plants and herbs, wildlife like snow leopard and the Himalayan brown bear apart from countless migratory birds, sapphire and ruby encrusted rocks, and seven crystal green glacial lakes. We follow the Miyar River across vast pastures, wildflowered grassland and cold glacial streams till Kesar Yon Chhaap, an idyllic campsite near the snout of the 24 km long Miyar glacier, surrounded by hidden lakes.


Miyar Valley Trek


Duration of Tour:-7 Days 6 Nights

Day 1:Manali to Changut (10,500 ft) via Udaipur - 135 km Drive :

  • We leave from Manali early morning and drive across the Rohtang Pass to Udaipur in the Chandrabhaga valley. From Udaipur, we turn north into the stunning Miyar valley to the small village of Changut. Overnight in Changut.

Day 2:Changut to Thanpattan (11,800 ft) via Shukto (11,300 ft) - 4 km :

  • We have a short drive till the roadhead at the village of Shukto, from where we cross the Miyar nallah on a swaying wooden bridge to start our hike. Just across the bridge is Khanjer, the last village in the Miyar valley. The trail winds up the village to the local temple and chorten. We will walk through the pea and cabbage farmland of Khanjer before crossing a couple of streams. From here, we walk across vast meadows for a couple of kilometres before coming to the campsite at the grazing grounds of Thanpattan, where we will set camp. There is a chorten on a small hill near the campsite you can visit in the evening. Overnight in Thanpattan.

Day 3:Thanpattan to Yolithang (12,300 ft) - 6 km :

  • Today is another short walk on easy trail to another idyllic campsite at Yolithang. There is an initial steep section to the chorten after which views of the upper valley open up. There are huge rock cliffs on either side of the valley. We will pass through the grazing grounds of Tharang, filled with pink Himalayan fleece and the huge rock and ice faces of Tharang peak to our right. It is a short walk from Tharang to Yolithang, our campsite for the day.

Day 4:Yolithang to Zardung (12,800 ft) - 10 km :

  • Although this day's walk is longer than the first two days, the trail is still fairly flat and easy. We will cross a boulder field near our campsite and descend to a vast grassland that continues for 3 km. On our right, another subsidiary valley offers views of a gigantic rock pyramid - a pass over this valley connects to Darcha on the Manali Leh highway. From here the valley turns slightly eastward to Gompa, another campsite with a couple of small lakes that relfect the surrounding mountains. From Gompa, we walk to Zardung. Zardung is a magnificent campsite with gigantic boulders, some of which are said to contain precious stones. The evening is well spent exploring the boulder area. Overnight in Zardung.

Day 5:Zardung to Kesar Yon Chhaap (13,100 ft) - 10 km :

  • Today is the most interesting day of all. The Miyar valley becomes even more beautiful as we walk towards the source of the Miyar river. We will cross a glacial stream coming down from our right (true left) - the stream iscold and wide and fans a distance of almost half a kilometre. From here, a short walk brings you to a section of the terminal moraine of the Miyar glacier, across which lies our campsite at Kesar Yon Chhaap - which literally means seven holy waters. There are seven emerald green lakes near our campsite, which you can explore in the evening - see if you can find them all! Overnight in Kesar Yon Chhaap.

    Note-

    Note-

    In the rare event Himkhoj Adventures shifts a trek:
    We would like to emphasize that weather conditions in high-altitude areas are highly unpredictable and can undergo sudden changes at any time, irrespective of the day. Additionally, circumstances beyond our control, such as natural disasters, political unrest, pandemics, and lockdowns, may impact the feasibility of conducting a trek. In cases where we are unable to proceed with an event due to such circumstances that are beyond our direct control, we will make every effort to provide you with an alternative trek that is safer and more suitable. In such situations, we will issue a voucher to offset the cost difference between the originally scheduled trek and the alternative trek. This voucher can be redeemed at any time within one year from the date of issue. Please note that a refund fee or reimbursement of the cost difference is not applicable in these cases.
