Highlight:

• The journey starts from Manali, along the Rohtang Pass Road towards the small village of Gulaba. Three hill towns – Kolang, Palchan, and Kothi mark the way and it gets more beautiful with pine forests. The small place is picturesquely surrounded by snow-covered hills. The sweet pastures washed by the Beas watercourse would have made for fantastic pictures at Gulaba, had it not been for the crowd of Rohtang. After arrival in gulaba
• Now the walk will be steep, steep walk, so you need to go equipped with 2 liters of water and a small snack to rest between test laps. 
• For the first few kilometers, we continue to drag ourselves under the forest canopy and bathe in the shade of rustling conifers. You can easily see oaks, cedars, and birches. It is a beautiful sight to see the blue among these leaves. After 20 minutes go on the trek and the forest has now receded and earlier only rolling green meadows developed. This is a pastoral zone where cattle herders are brought from local villages throughout the summer. A few mud huts and camp poles could be found here. Leave the meadow behind and head south. At this point, you will find the sharp peak of Hanuman Tibba and a little further down the peaks of the Seven Sisters. 
• Somewhere deep below lies the green patch of the Beas Kund valley. Another mild jungle cover follows, around which the trail drops again to rugged meadows the excitement peaks when the road gets narrower and steeper just before entering the Rola Kholi pastures. About 15 to 20 minutes from the campsite we pass two nallah or small streams which are also our water sources. Our camp is located near chor nallah in Rola Kholi camp.

Highlight:

• Today is an extraordinary change of scenery from anything we have experienced in the previous days! We start early in the morning and cover a distance of 5 kilometers in about 4 hours along a steep and massively stony road. The green meadows of the last day seem like a dream, but this landscape is no less captivating and even more refreshing in the cool mountain climate.
• By June you can expect this course after Rola Khuli to be covered in snow. From mid-July, gradients of brown, green, and white become visible as the snow melts. On the last section of the trail, it is very advisable to drive slowly and not rush at all, because the road is covered with rubble and slippery boulders.
• The alpine lake can be seen between the two ridges that we reach at the end of the last rocky circuit. Whether it is the height of winter or the beginning of summer, the lake is never completely frozen. This is an occurrence attributed to the power of the sage Bhrigu of ancient myths, after whom this lake is named. From the high belt surrounding the lake, you can immediately catch a glimpse of the Solang Valley nestled in the distance, and on a clear day, the sky lights up with the magnificent peaks of the Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar ranges.

Highlight:

• Today we will start our return from Birgu lake to Manali via Rola Kholi and Gulaba on the same beaten track through green meadows in one long move to Gulaba which will take about 5 hours and from there drive back to Manali, reaching Manali between 3 to 4 pm.

Note: There is an alternative return route to Manali via Vashisht and Pandu Ropa from the Bhrigu Lake site but we find this route more relaxed and sustainable for a soothing green trek.
