Why Deo Tibba Is A Must-Do Trek:

Deo Tibba stands as a prominent 6000-meter peak, ranking as the second-highest in the Pir Panjal Mountains.

Unlike traditional pointed ridges, Deo Tibba's summit surprises with a snow dome, resembling an ice cap.

The trek unfurls the diverse beauty of Himachal Pradesh, traversing through Jagatsukh village, dense forests, Birch trees, meadows, and glaciers.

• Scenic elements include lakes, waterfalls, and rockfalls, showcasing the rich tapestry of the Himalayas.
• Despite being a 6000-meter peak, Deo Tibba demands mountaineering-style climbing with technical equipment like fixed ropes, crampons, and ice axes.
• Recommended only for seasoned trekkers possessing technical expertise.
• Deo Tibba is a challenging trek, demanding more strength and endurance compared to easier treks.

Deo Tibba is a 6000-er peak and is the second-highest peak of the Pir Panjal Mountains. It is in the Kullu valley and the trek to Deo Tibba starts from Manali. There is a local belief that Gods assemble on the top hence the name Deo Tibba. The peak is climbed during many Mountaineering Courses expeditions by the ABVIMAS institute because it has technical importance. However, the peak is 

suitable for trekkers starting in the mountaineering field.

The peak is exceptional in a way that the summit is not a pointed ridge but a snow dome just like an ice cap. The trail to the summit goes through the beautiful Himachal Pradesh. First comes the beautiful Jagatsukh village near Manali and all along the trail, you will be greeted with many scenic sights. Right from the beginning of each day, the trail keeps changing, starting with the dense forests to Birch trees to meadows to a glacier, showcasing every element of the Himalayas. It also never shies from showing lakes and waterfalls including rockfalls!

Even though it is a 6000-er like Stok Kangri the peak requires mountaineering-style climbing. It requires a load ferry, crossing technical terrain difficulties, using fixed ropes, crampons, ice axe, etc. Therefore,  Deo Tibba is a proper mountain expedition. It is recommended only for experienced trekkers having technical knowledge.

About The Trek

One of the most beautiful yet challenging treks in Manali, Deo Tibba takes you through lush forests of coniferous collective like pine, spruce, oak, fir, and silver birches with beautifully changing landscape to the top of the Deo Tibba summit.

The trek starts from Manali and on the first day of trekking, you will trek up to Chikka, crossing the beautiful village of Jagatsukh. It is one of the most beautiful Himalayan villages and was once the capital of Kullu. Chikka is a beautiful campsite where you will stay the night and the following day, you will head to Seri from Chikka. Seri is your next campsite after Chikka and then we will trek to Deo Tibba Base Camp the next day. Since Deo Tibba is a high-altitude trek, we need to take into consideration the fact of acquiring AMS, and as such we take necessary acclimatization measures.

Days 5 and 6 are acclimatization days. On day 5 you will rest and acclimatize yourself to the higher altitudes while on Day 6 we will load a ferry to Camp 1 and back to Deo Tibba Base Camp. The next day you will trek to Camp 1 from Deo Tibba Base Camp and stay the night at Camp 1. We will use the load ferry concept again the next day. You will load the ferry to the summit camp and make it back to Camp 1. The 10th day will be when we will make a summit attempt and then return to Camp 1. The next day you will descend to Deo Tibba Base Camp and the following day to Chikka and on the 13th day, you will head back to Manali ending the wonderful journey.

What Can You Expect At The Trek

The trek offers beautiful views of mighty Himalayan peaks like Deo Tibba (6001 m), and Indrasan (6220 m). You will pass through several scenic destinations along the trek like Chikka, Seri, and Tainta as well as mini  Chandrataal. You will also get a glimpse of the rivulet Ravi.

Deo Tibba is a difficult grade trek and as such it requires more strength and endurance as compared to other easy-level treks. It is best if you first gain experience in climbing 3000 m peaks and level up with a 6000-er. However, for beginners who are committed to completing the trek, start preparing at least 3 months before the trek so that you can be physically and mentally prepared for the trek.

Deo Tibba is a high-altitude trek and as such in the early months of the year, there are chances of snow on the higher passes which considerably starts to melt by August. mid-June to October is a good time to do the Deo Tibba Trek. The temperature ranges between 10 to 15 °C during the day and dips to a subzero temperature between -2 to 5 °C at night time. Appropriate clothing to battle the cold is advised. We suggest avoiding trekking in the monsoon because these places see heavy rainfall and the route can be extremely slippery and not to mention roadblocks and landslides due to the rain.

Trek The Himalayas offers transportation from and back to Manali and we also offer professional, mountaineering-certified trek leaders, guides, and support staff to help and assist you at every point of the trek. Also, the climatic conditions at higher altitudes vary a lot from the plains and proper acclimatization is very important. Keeping this in mind, we have included acclimatization days in the itinerary as well as the concept of load ferry, to give your body enough time to adjust to the lack of oxygen at higher altitudes. Meals are provided by us for all days of your trek with breakfast, lunch, and dinner and all the meals are nutritious and healthy.

It is wonderful climbing up passing through Jagatsukh. It is one of the beautiful villages with colorful wooden houses. Jagatsukh was old Kullu capital. The road ahead is not that good with bumpy curves. Look at the greenery around as you slowly move away from Manali. The drive from Manali to Sethan is not long but very scenic.

Right before Chikka, you will cross Sethan. It is another popular adventure site, it is famous for rock climbing and snowboarding. You can see the big tunnel doors of the Hydro Power project at even distances. After you have crossed the Khanaul dam get ready to start your trek.

Wake up fresh to start your hike to Seri. The trail starts with a gradual ascent through dense forest. As you move up slowly you may notice the forest cover getting sparse. The trail is throughout on the right of the Jagatsukh Nallah and it is well-marked with stones and cairns. You may also encounter freshwater springs at Panduropa and Dudu Patthar. An hour into your trek and you will cross a stream and a little further from the stream is a small section with boulders. If it has rained recently or raining during the trek then be very careful as these stones tend to get slippery. Once you cross the bouldered section, the climb gets steep, avoid straining your legs a little too much.

The Birch starts welcoming us through the trail followed by bushes. All of which vanishes to open grounds of meadows all of a sudden. These meadows are the grasslands of Seri but the campsite is a little away from here. After about 3 km of trekking, you will arrive at Panduropa, where you will find another bouldered section. Once you cross the bouldered section, your Seri campsite awaits you. You can see Tainta cliffs on the left and waterfalls on these rocks. This campsite is also pleasantly located on flat grounds. Seri once used to be a glacial lake but now it is a meadow that is drained of icy rivulets and now surrounded by greenery and wildflowers. From the campsite, you can see the neighboring cliffs of Jagatsukh, Norbu, Malana Pass, and a part of Deo Tibba peak. Stay overnight at the campsite.

Today will be a little tough day compared to the previous two. The trek starts with a flat trail as you walk on the Seri grasslands. Keep walking along the Jagatsukh River and you will come across a waterfall, and somewhere nearby you will see a cairn. Cross the river and continue on the trail and you will begin climbing up. The climb is on the zig-zag trail till Tainta cliff and it is extremely steep for about 2-2 ½ hr. Once you cross the Nala or stream moraines start. You will overcome the boulder field. Another hour\'s walk on the ridge and you will be at the Tainta camp which is the base of the glacier.

As you can imagine henceforth the trail is through loose scree. Take your steps carefully. The climb through such a trail is for two hours until you reach Chota Chandratal. It is a tiny lake in the mountain depression. The entire lake is surrounded by wildflowers and the Deo Tibba peak towers beautifully against the lucid blue skies. Once you reach the top it's a flat walk all the way to the campsite. Your camp will be towards the downside of the lake. Unlike the previous two camps, this camp is in a closed valley. Cross the lake and find a suitable spot where you can pitch your tent.

Rest / Acclimatization day

• An acclimatization day at this height is mandatory.
• Explore and enjoy a campsite surrounded by peaks.
• Technical gear distribution.
• Visit Chota Chandratal After Lunch.
• General Meeting For The Setup Of Camp 1 And Summit Camp.
• Stay In Tent.

Wake up today to chill and rest. Since we have reached 4200 meters in height it is important to give your body the time for acclimatization. On a high-altitude trek, it is extremely crucial to take enough time to acclimatize. If you are rapidly gaining altitude and do not schedule enough time to acclimatize, you put yourself at a higher risk of altitude sickness. This usually happens when a trekker climbs too high too quickly. To avoid such problems, it is essential to slow down and allow your body to adjust. This promotes your body to go through the necessary physiological changes to adjust to the environment and the decreased oxygen intake at higher altitudes. As AMS is not dependent on the age, fitness level, or experience of an individual, it is important for trekkers to take an adequate amount of acclimatization break to adjust to higher altitudes.  However, if you do get AMS, our trek leaders are trained to detect and deal with the symptoms of AMS and will provide you with sound advice if you have the symptoms. Also, if you experience signs of AMS, let your trek leader know immediately.

You can roam here and there and explore the campsite. Technical equipment will be distributed and tested by our team. You can try them and clear your doubts. You can visit Chota Chandratal after lunch. In the evening there will be briefing sessions on the summit process and further plans.

Load ferry to Camp 1 (Duhangan Col)

• Altitude: 5,100 m/ 16,800 ft.
• Altitude gain: 600 m/ 2000 ft.
• Trek duration: 4 to 5 hrs.
• Moderate ascent for the first 200 m, steep for the next 300 m, and the last 100 m is gradual.
• Camp 1 is set at the Duhangan Pass.
• Camp 1 is marked by a saffron-colored rock, visible from your base camp.
• The steep slope between 45 to 65 degrees.
• Have to cross Deo Tibba Glacier for set up at Camp 1.
• Glacier is full of open and hidden crevasses.
• Ascent is a mix of snow, rock, and ice, known for rockfalls.
• Load ferry will help participants to be better acclimatized for Day 7.
• Carry enough water.
• Packed lunch for the way.
• Stay in the tent (Deo Tibba Base Camp).

Today will mark your journey into the mountaineering world. In Mountaineering it is important to do a load ferry. It is a term that works on the principle of working at high altitudes and sleeping in low altitudes, where climbers first carry their equipment and gear to the higher camp and rest for the night at base camp. Since the physiological functioning of the body at higher altitudes is different than that on plains, it is important to take the necessary acclimatization measures. The load ferry concept helps for acclimatization and avoids AMS even at higher heights. Today you will be carrying your gear to camp 1 and will come back for the night at the base camp.

The trail is difficult that starts with a moderate ascent for the first 200 m then steep for 300 m followed by a 100 m flat slope. Camp 1 is situated on Duhangan Pass. Uniquely the location of the campsite can be seen from Base Camp also due to saffron-coloured rocks. The slope is between 40 to 65 °C and is filled with snow and rocks. You can see that the glacier starts. There are many crevasses on the glacier so watch your steps. The trail is known for rockfall, therefore, follow your guide and team.

Once you have loaded all the gear have your lunch at camp 1 and get ready to go down. Stay will be in the tents at Base Camp.

Deo Tibba Base Camp to Camp 1

• Altitude gain: 600 m/ 2,000 ft.
• Trek Duration: 5 to 6 hrs.
• The entire team will move to Camp 1.
• Leave the base camp early in the morning.
• Give proper rest to your body and keep warm
• Stay in a tent (Camp 1).

Today will be the actual day when you will shift to camp 1 completely. Follow the same route as you did the day before. Be cautious on the rockfall area, glaciers, and while crossing rocks. The climb will take almost 5-6 hours. Make sure you do not exhaust your body and take enough rest. Stay in tents at camp 1.

Load ferry to Summit Camp

• Altitude: 5,600 m/ 18,400 ft.
• Altitude gain: 500 m/ 1,600 ft.
• Trek distance: 4 km | Duration: 4 to 5 hrs.
• Also known as Camp 2.
• Ascent is full of snow.
• The First 1 hr is a gradual ascent, the rest is a steep ascent.
• Snow clothing and crampons are required.
• Spend some time at summit Camp for better acclimatization and back to Camp 1.
• Packed lunch for the day.
• Carry warm water from the campsite.
• Stay in tents (Camp 1).

It is time to move to the summit camp. But again it will only be load ferry and coming back to camp 1. Since we are gaining quite a bit of altitude in a limited time frame, altitude-related sickness is a possibility, which is why the load ferry concept is incorporated again to prevent altitude-related issues and to help your body adjust to the lack of oxygen. The entire trail is filled with snow in today’s trek. Therefore, wearing all the snow gear and clothing is necessary. Due to the presence of the snow, the trail becomes much more difficult.

For the first one hour, it is a moderate climb which later on becomes a steep climb. Be careful and follow your team. Follow the footsteps of your guide as he breaks the route open for you. Spend little time on the summit camp, and have lunch so that your body starts acclimatizing.  Again retrace your steps back to camp 1. Stay the night in Camp 1 and rest your body well.

Camp 1 to Summit Camp

• Altitude difference: 500 m/ 1,600 ft.
• The entire team will move to Summit Camp.
• Leave all the unnecessary things at the Camp.
• Final summit briefing.
• Stay in tents (summit camp).

Today, the entire team will move to summit camp. Carry only minimal items that will be needed and leave the rest at camp 1 only. Follow the same as the day before. Since high-altitude climbing requires a proper acclimatization routine so expeditions usually employ the method of load ferry or making rounds between the camps to better adapt to the conditions. ‘Climb high and sleep low’ is a golden rule in such cases if you want to survive and successfully complete the expedition. For Deo Tibba, we make two rounds of the campsites, first during the load ferry when we move our stuff to Camp 1 and return to the lower campsite and again from Camp 1 and summit camp and back to Camp 1. This has many benefits. First, you divide the weight between two days so that you do not have to carry a massive weight during the trek. Second, it gives your body adequate time to adjust to the high altitude conditions, and lastly, each time you climb the same route, it becomes easier and also refines your techniques and skills.

Once you reach the camp, your team will brief you about the summit attempt. It’s a good time to brush up on the snow and ice skills. The night will be exciting as it will be the summit night. Eat full and rest properly for the summit attempt.

Summit Attempt and back to Camp 1

• Altitude: 6000 m/ 19,700 ft.
• Altitude gain: 400 m/ 1,300 ft.
• Trek Distance: 6 km | Duration 4 to 6 hrs.
• Recheck all equipment.
• Summit attempt at 2-3 am in the morning.
• Fixed rope required through the gully.
• The First 300 m/ 1,000 ft is a steep and technical ascent.
• The last 100 m/ 300 ft is easy to walk on the dome.
• Indrasan peak is clearly visible.
• Summit is a giant snow dome.
• The final ascent to the peak has a few crevasses.
• Just before the summit, the slope becomes. steeper.
• Summit is wide and can accommodate all team members.
• After the summit attempt wind up the summit camp and back to Camp 1.
• Reach Camp 1 in the early evening.

The summit attempt will start at 2 am in the early morning. Wake up accordingly to get all geared up for the summit push. Recheck all your equipment and be prepared. The route starts by crossing a gulley using fixed ropes. The First 300 m is a steep and technical ascent.

Keep climbing up on the snow slopes. You can see the Indrasan Peak as you gain height. The slope gets steeper right before the summit. The summit is actually a big snow dome, open and flat. Hence, the last 100 m to the summit is almost a flat walk. There are also many crevasses towards the end. While climbing to the summit after crossing the gully is manageable but the real challenge is the thinning air as you constantly gain altitude.

The summit is wide open that can accommodate all the team members. When you arrive at the summit you can clearly see Indrasen peaks and a mountain lake. The views are absolutely stunning. If in any cases summit push gets halted then buffer days will be used. After the summit attempt, spend a little time at the summit, bask in your sense of accomplishment and come back to camp 1.

How To Reach

It is essential for everyone to arrive at Manali (11:00 am). 

Once you have reached the assembly point of the trek in Manali, TTH will manage the rest of your travel arrangements, if you have opted for TTH's pick-up service, you can select this option during the booking process by adding it as an add-on.

Options 

1.  Take overnight bus to Manali from Delhi or Chandigarh, taking a bus from Chandigarh is the most ideal option.

-Chandigarh to Manali Bus: 10 hours.

-Delhi to Manali Bus: 14 hours is hectic and takes more time.

We always recommend going for the govt. Buses over the private ones outside the bus station as based on the experience we have found that there are very high chances of delay involved with private buses. Also, govt. Buses are always more reliable. Whichever bus you choose, just make sure to reach Manali at 10 am.

3. You can take a flight to Bhuntar Airport (but we would not recommend it because of the high prices of the flight and very high chances of cancellations), Manali is just a couple of hours away and you can easily get a bus or a private taxi till there. If you do plan to come via Bhuntar, make sure to reach at least a day before the trek starts.

4. You can even come via train, Pathankot railway station is from where you can get direct buses to Kullu/Kasol that is 300 km from there and would take an overnight journey. Even in this case, reach a day before at Manali.

If you prefer to travel independently, you can either take a government bus or book a private cab. Your trek coordinator will provide guidance on how to arrange for the bus or cab booking.

In the unlikely event that TTH cancels a trek prior to the scheduled departure date:

While it is extremely rare for TTH to cancel a trek, we understand that unforeseen circumstances or natural disasters may occasionally require us to do so before the scheduled departure. These circumstances could include continuous rain or snow, thunderstorms, snowstorms, landslides, floods, earthquakes, or any other natural calamity that poses a risk to the safety of our trekkers. Additionally, unforeseeable events such as local riots, curfews, pandemics, lockdowns, government orders, or any similar situations that compromise the safety of the trekking experience may also necessitate a cancellation.

In the event of such a cancellation, TTH will provide you with a voucher equivalent to the amount you paid for the trek. This voucher can be redeemed for any of our treks within the next year, allowing you to still enjoy an adventure with us at a later date.

The issuance of a voucher is not applicable in situations where you are required to descend from the trek for any reason. The trek leader may make the decision to send you down from the trek due to factors such as insufficient fitness level, symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), high blood pressure, exceeding the designated turn-around-time, health concerns, or if you are found smoking, drinking, or violating the rules set for the trek. In such cases, the provision of a voucher does not apply.

In the rare event that TTH 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.

Know Before You Go for Deo Tibba Base Camp Trek

The Deo Tibba trekking trail presents the participants with countless opportunities to be amazed and enjoy a great trekking experience. However, to get the most out of the trip and avoid risking their safety as well as the safety of their fellow trekkers, participants should follow the important tips given below.

Since the climatic conditions in high altitudes are significantly different from those in plains, participants should arrive at least a day or two early to get acclimatized.

Participants should follow all the guidelines issued by the government as well as their tour operators to complete the trek successfully.

Participants should make it a point to attend the orientation sessions conducted by the tour operators before the commencement of the trek.

Participants suffering from any health issues, irrespective of how minor they may be, should consult a physician before undertaking the trek.

Participants should avoid consuming alcohol or other intoxicants and indulging in substance abuse during the trek.

To preserve the natural environment of the trekking trail, participants should avoid littering it with discarded items or plastic bags and packaging materials.

Trekking at night is not encouraged and participants should not do so unless it is a part of the itinerary and they are accompanied by an experienced guide.

Participants should obtain a comprehensive list of items that they are not allowed to carry during the trek to avoid the cancellation of their registration.

Participants should make sure to get a detailed report of what is included in the cost of the package.

To undertake the trek to Deo Tibba, participants need to reach Manali first as it is the starting point of the trek. The hill station is well connected to all major cities by road, but sadly there is no direct rail or air connectivity. The most common methods of reaching the hill city include the following.

By Train: Participants can travel to Jogindernagar Railway Station, located at least 5 hours away from Manali. Other options include Ambala Cantt Station located 330 km away or Chandigarh Station located 300 km away. In each case, the participants will have to take a bus or taxi to reach Manali.

By Road: Participants of Deo Tibba trek can also take advantage of the numerous private and HRTC bus services operating to and from Manali. Numerous taxi service providers also operate on the route although this would be far more expensive than riding a luxury bus.

By Air: Manali does not have an airport so participants traveling by air need to book a ticket for Bhantur in Kullu. The airport is only 50 km away from Manali and has only occasional Air India flights operating between Kullu and Delhi. Given the lesser number of flights, the airfare is quite high.

The best time for Deo Tibba trekking is between May and October as a major part of the trekking trail remains inaccessible during the remaining months due to the snow season. The participants can plan their trip in advance according to the season they prefer.

Summer Season : The trekking trail opens up with the commencement of the summer season, which is the time preferred by most participants. The weather is generally pleasant and dry during the summer months of May and June which makes trekking relatively easy and enjoyable.

Monsoon Season : Most people avoid trekking during the monsoon months of June and July believing the trail to be muddy and slippery. However, being located in the upper reaches of Kullu Manali, the Deo Tibba trekking trail remains largely unaffected ensuring a great trekking experience for the participants even during the monsoon season.

Autumn Season : The autumn months of September and October are the most preferred time for enjoying a trek in the upper reaches of the Himalayas. Despite the slightly colder weather, the participants get to experience the mesmerizing beauty of nature and enjoy the thrill of conquering a moderate trekking trail.

General Trivia About Deo Tibba Trek

There are several legends associated with the Deo Tibba trek, with the most popular one being from Hindu mythology. According to this legend, the dome-shaped top of the Deo Tibba mountain is where the gods sit when Lord Indra presides over their meetings from the top of Indrasan peak. As per another legend, some 5000 years ago the Takshak Nag was born out of a huge rock located near the Chhikka camping site. The stone referred to in this legend is massive and has a curving line in the shape of a snake’s slither, etched profoundly right through its center.

Locals also believe that the Pandavas, from the epic Mahabharta, traveled through the meadows of Seri and planted rice shoots in the area. Another story supporting this claim is the presence of Arjuna Guffa near the village of Prini, where Arjuna is said to have meditated to get a weapon from Lord Indra. The village Pirni is a beautiful hamlet located quite close to the trekking trail and garners much attention from the trekkers in the wake of its association with Mahabharta. All these legends add a mystical aura to the trekking trip to Deo Tibba and enhance the thrill and excitement of the participants even further.

Region: Manali

Deo Tibba is a beautiful 6001 m. high peak situated in the Pir Panjal range of mountains in the Manali valley of Himachal Pradesh. It is located at Duhangan Nalla and Malana glacier. Deo Tibba consists of an extensive ice cap the actual climb being a snow hump accessible once the edge of the ice plateau is reached. It also has the beauty of being just over the 6000 m. high mark which is a great achievement for any climber. Trekking to the base of mighty peak is an ultimate experience. The base of this peak is about 4500m. At this height one can feel the low level of oxygen in the air, which can cause dizziness and distress while climbing to the base camp. The base is near to a lake called Chota Chandertal. Above the small lake there is located another lake similarly called Chandertal but with larger magnitude. One can have a sight of the Highest Peak in the Pir panjal rage. The atmosphere up here is incredible and unpredictable. You will feel like floating on the clouds as the fog come across the camp and pass above the valley below. The conditions are harsh with freezing temperature at such height realizing one with the effects of altitude and adverse weather. The further route can be seen from this point, mostly the Duhangan col. which is clearly visible from the Chota Chandertal, is the toughest test for the climbers at initial climb after the base camp. The route to base camp is magnificent. One would be splendid by the views that site across the trek. The waterfalls, beautiful meadows, big vast fields of pastures, meandering streams and the lush green wild forests on the trail are unmatchable experience.

This astonishing trek starts from Khanool village just 6 kms far from Jagatsukh. From  Jagatsukh to Khanol by taxi and then trek starts from Chhika. In couple of hours we reach at Chhika, a holy place for the locals where one can see the Nag devta (Snake deity) engraved naturally on the stone lying near to the place. The figure of the Nag Devta on the stone seems as it is actually climbing up to the forest. After all rest of the area offers great atmosphere.  After Chhika we hike up leaving treeline behind treading over the moraines till Pandu ropa. The Pandu ropa is also meant as a holy place. According to Hindu Mythology that Pandavas used to grow paddy at this point, as the name Pandu Ropa Suggests.  One can see paddy field on the way to the base camp. After Pandu ropa we reach Seri in 4-5 hours. Seri is a huge pasture ground surrounded by the peaks and waterfalls. Seri is a magical place where one will forget all the fatigue felt earlier on the trek. The vast green field has torrents and streams flowing along to it, creating a spectacular meandering landscape. The sunsets and the sunrises are often colorful here.  Seri to Tenta is about 3-4 hours. As climbing up to Tenta one has to cross the stream once and follow the stream on the left till Tenta , a grassy field below the lake. The scenery of valley below reminds one that how high they had come. After climbing hours one would feel less oxygen as approaching to the Tenta. The air gets thinner as we get near to Chota Chandertal.   It is a 3 or 4 day approach walk to base camp, till now one would have become well acclimatized to the atmosphere . The base camp is located near a glacier lake called "Chandra Tal" close to the main glacier that falls off the south-east face of Deo Tibba. This is at an altitude of 4500m/14850ft. It is quite a high base camp with the mighty Deo Tibba peak in the north and the Duhangan col. in front from the base. It is a decent trekking experience reaching up to the 4000m. altitude without any special efforts made. So one should do this trek and have a glimpse of the highest peak located in the Pir Panjal range.

The trekker needs to only focus on the trek and the beautiful landscape around him/her. The rest of everything is taken care of by Trekmunk from day 1 till the end of the trek. Scrupulously managed logistics; no compromise on safety and security; experienced, intelligent and knowledgeable trek leaders; scrumptious meals; contingency and backup plans; etc. make Trekmunk an ideal choice to go trekking with. My trek was lead by Ashish Pathania, Prashant Reddy and Sanjay Thakur. The three are were thorough professionals. They were jolly, very helpful, experienced, knowledgeable, organized, and needless to say polite yet strict when needed. They played the most important roles in making sure our overall trekking experience was a wonderful one. Thank you Trekmunk for one of the most beautiful experiences I have had till date. Will see you guys soon.

• Inclusion & Exclusion

Key Highlights

• Altitute: 6001mtr
• Time : 13 Days - 12 Nights
• Region: Manali
• Best Time: June to October
• Distance: 60Kms
• Grade: Difficult

Located in the Manali valley in Himachal Pradesh's Pir Panjal range, the stunning peak of the Deo Tibba Expedition stands at an altitude of 6001 metres. Dome-like in appearance, it may be seen in Duhangan Nalla and Malana glacier, which consists of a large ice cap. Once you reach the edge of the ice plateau, you may access the real climb, which is a snow hump. It's stunningly located at a height of slightly over 6,000 metres, which will be a significant milestone for any dedicated mountaineer. The hike up Deo Tibba, a renowned summit, passes through the beautiful Himalayan foothills. At the peak, visitors might ponder whether or not the legend that all the Hindu gods used to hold caucuses atop this dome is grounded in reality. The top of this dome-shaped mountain, the second-highest in the Pir Panjal Range, provides a panoramic view of the surrounding snow-capped mountains.

Traveling the rocky paths leading to Chikkha while being accompanied by a winding stream will be a lot of fun. Chikkha is characterised by lush green pastures under clear blue sky; on our journey to Seri, we will pass through this area, and it will be a delight to stroll among its fields of wildflowers. The route winds its way upwards through forests of birch, pine, fir, and cedar. Amazingly beautiful sights like the Tenta Waterfall, Chandertal, and Jagatsukh can only be fully appreciated by being there in person. Chota Chandratal, high above Tenta, will serve as our base for the next several days. We'll start at base camp and acclimatise ourselves there before ferrying supplies to outlying sites. We'll start our ascent on the scree of Duhangan Col., continue over the vast ice field, and then continue up the ice cliffs. Your physical and mental fortitude will be put to the ultimate test as we make our ascent. Upon reaching our last destination, the peak of Deo Tibba, you will see its pristine magnificence in all its sweeping majesty. Once at the summit, you'll be able to take in breathtaking views of other mountain ranges and towering peaks in the distance, and you'll have a great sense of accomplishment. Carefully retreat from the top camp to the base camp and so on until you reach the trailhead. After a few days of camping in the wilderness, we have finally returned to the lush natural valleys of Kullu Manali. Now that we've travelled for what seems like forever, it's time to say our goodbyes and go home.

This journey spends 12 nights and 13 days exploring Mount Deo Tibba. You'll have plenty of time to adjust to the altitude on this lengthy trip. The spectacular trip is home to a peaceful and beautiful scenery that just enchants visitors into learning more about the rich history and culture of Himachal.

Itinerary of Expedition

You will be welcomed by our agents when you arrive in Manali, and from there, you will be driven to the rest of your lodgings and activities. On this day, we will finish the paperwork and any other preparation that is necessary. Following completion of all of the tasks, one may go to Manali.

Travel from Manali to Duhangan via the winding roads that lead into the heart of Hampta. Once you have arrived at the end of the road, prepare for the journey that lies ahead by picking up your bags and leaving our vehicle behind. The first part of our hike will consist of very easy ascents along the creek that will take us into the deep woodland. We won't be in a hurry as we make our way up the route, so we can take in the untamed natural surroundings. As time goes on, the woodlands will begin to thin out, and the town of Chhika will begin to take shape. Chhika is a sacred location that is connected to the residence of the Nag Devta. At this location, there is a rock that has a naturally carved sculpture of Nag Devta, also known as the Snake Deity, that is as lifelike as it could have been produced at the time. This natural representation of the Snake Deity may be seen in close proximity to the temple grounds. The idol seems to be ascending towards the mountains and looks as natural as it can. There are huts available for devotees who choose to spend the night there. After we have some tea and some snacks, we will look about the region and then fix our campers. Tents will be used as lodging for the night.

Today, we will begin with a steaming cup of tea, followed by the delectable breakfast that has been prepared. Initially, the hike will only be a modest amount of work as it passes through the dense woodland beside the creek. The vegetation of the lowlands will gradually transition into the vegetation of the highlands, and there will be birch trees along the way. This shift is then followed by the appearance of plant species that evolved in highland meadows, such as alpine shrubs. Along the way, we will go past the fabled location known as Pandu Ropa, which was a paddy field where the Pandavas grew rice. Spending some time in this breathtaking setting is highly recommended. Moving further, we traverse the stones and plants of the highland area as we make our way beyond the Duddu Pathar. We are going to be surrounded by bushes and stones up to the point when we can see the vast and expansive meadows of Seri. Although there are a few steeper sections on the path, the distance may be accomplished in a leisurely fashion overall. After arriving at Seri, one is able to see the wonderful campground's expansiveness for themselves. The large, flatlands that are decorated with vibrant plant life and have a stream that flows in a zigzag pattern close to the camp are what give it its moment of vitality. The area is hemmed in on all sides by precipitous cliffs of the surrounding mountains, and there is a breathtaking waterfall right in front of it that cascades down the Tenta cliffs. Discover the broad flatland and come face to face with the horses as they roam freely all over the field during the twilight hours. Don't forget to look up at the night sky, the stars, the milky way, and the constellations that are clearly visible when you have the chance. Because the campground at Seri is often subjected to arctic winds, the evenings and nights there may be rather chilly.

During the early hours of the day, make sure to catch the stunning contrast created by the sun rising on one side of the mountains as it illuminates the other side from behind the mountains. After you've had some tea and breakfast, you may begin your hike through the vast flatlands of Seri. The level ground comes to an end, and after that there is a sharp ascent that has to be traversed. Therefore, the only vegetation that can be seen consists of grasslands and a few species of Himalayan herbs. In order to go over the cliff, you have to finish the winding track, which takes an hour, and additional modest stepping, but it leads you to the flowing torrent to cross. The water in the creek is ice cold, and there is a raging torrent to go through. After we have traversed it, we shall continue our trek on the other huge flatland. The steady ascent will remain the same, and the trek to our camping ground at Tenta will be taken at a leisurely pace. Tenta is an encampment that is mostly surrounded by the cattle that the shepherds care for. Tenta is not only a lovely spot but also a position from where one can observe the whole valley as well as the path that was taken before. One may get a good view of the huge Mt. Deo Tibba from Tenta, which is located in an elevated location above us. After a nutritious meal, you should spend the night in the campgrounds.

We will be resting for the whole day today and getting used to the higher altitude. It is possible to get used to the climbing strategies and gear that will be required in the future. Explore the area, don't spend the whole time inside the tent, and make an effort to go hiking during the afternoon.

A portion of our gear will need to be transported to the Advance base camp, so get up early. A trek with large backpacks containing all of our climbing gear, rations, and other necessities will serve as our acclimatisation. Climbers will have a better understanding of the challenges that lie ahead if they move load from one campground to the next. After leaving our belongings in the Advanced Base camp, we will make our way back to the Base camp. Take the opportunity to rest up for the day that lies ahead.

The portion of the ascent that takes place above ABC and through Duhangan col. is the most difficult portion. Even for climbers with previous experience ascending at altitudes higher than 6000 metres, the Duhangan col's combination of ice and scree is a difficult challenge. The trek up to the col is quite steep and difficult until you reach the summit. As a result of the loose stones and pebbles, the grade continues angling vertically, making it very tough to climb. In order to make it through this phase of pushing one's limitations, one has to be dedicated and well-prepared. The climbers need to be aware of their surroundings at all times since even the smallest step might cause a piece of loose rock to fall and hurt someone climbing behind them. Therefore, maintaining vigilance and being active is required throughout this section of the ascent. Climbing to the top of the Duahangan col takes roughly seven to eight hours on average. After climbing the challenging stretch, one will be able to glimpse a large ice field that extends well below the summit. As we make our way across the ice field, the sheer magnitude of it becomes apparent. The location of our overnight camp will be on this enormous expanse of ice.

In order to set up summit camp, you will need to get an early start. There are two different paths that may be used to get to summit camp, and both have been utilised by recent climbers. One possible path ascends the southeast piton ridge till reaching a steep snow ramp that leads to an additional ridge that connects the higher neve slopes. Climbers typically use the alternate path, which leads them to a gully that is composed of both snow and ice and is located to the southeast of the piton ridge. We have the ability to take any route by determining what the climbers or the scenario requires.

Today is the day that everyone involved in the climbing had been looking forward to the most. The ascent to the Deo Tibba Expedition peak will begin as soon as we are able to adequately prepare ourselves for the steep terrain. The path is a combination of snow and ice, and it ascends steadily all the way to the summit. It is a challenging endeavour, and you will need all of your efforts to be successful in order to reach the summit. Your years of hard work and dedication to improving your strength would be put to good use at a level of success that almost everyone aspires to attain. It is important that our goal be accomplished on time so that we may enjoy some moments of glory atop the mountain by taking pictures and raising the Indian flag. On the horizon, one could make out gigantic peaks and mountain ranges that extended out in the distance. Standing at the summit, high above the clouds, one would have the sensation of having won the battle against the formidable mountain and the exhilaration would last forever. Retrace your steps with great care in the direction of the summit camp. When you arrive, enjoy a steaming cup of tea and reminisce about happy occasions that brought you glory. After supper, we should get some rest and try to get a good night's sleep before we go back down.

This day is set aside in case the weather takes an unexpected turn or the climb for the Deo Tibba Expedition  must be postponed owing to illness or any other cause.

Descend down the treacherous Duhangan pass in a safe manner, and arrive back at the base camp. The exquisite scenery, which has been absent for a few days, will make one feel valued and nostalgic. Enjoy the evening with a steaming bowl of soup while taking in the view from the summit at your own pace. Spend the night in one of the tents.

The wild flora and animals that we will encounter today, together with the verdant scenery that surrounds us, will invigorate and thrill each and every one of us once again. We retrace our steps and make our way to Chhika by the afternoon.

The last day has come, and with it comes the last opportunity for anybody to make it back to civilisation. After a two-hour hike, we will arrive at the Duhangan Project site, where our car will be waiting for us. Chhika is the starting point of our journey. We will get back in the car and go back to Manali. When in Manali, visitors are at liberty to go to any location of their choosing.

➽ important note.

The itinerary serves as both a guide and a template, both of which are provided to you by us. This Rock Climbing Expedition is adaptable to accommodate your available time as well as specific needs. This hike's itineraries are subject to change depending on the schedule. Inquire with us or send an email to [email protected] for the most recent information and pricing on the expedition.

➽ Preparation for Expedition

As you well know, the great Himalayan expedition is one that requires careful preparation, a strategy that allows for enough flexibility to adapt to whatever challenges may arise.

Therefore, here are some things to consider before setting out on your Deo Tibba expedition:

⦿ Physically – You should start working out at least a month before signing up for a program if you want to be physically prepared for the rigours of a journey. Strengthen your legs by jogging and working out regularly to increase your stamina. To better acclimatise to the environment and increase your resilience on the walk, you should give up smoking and undertake breathing exercises twice a day. Engage in vigorous physical activity, such as playing sports, doing Yoga, or running.

⦿ Mentally –

Getting in shape physically is essential, but mental preparation is just as crucial for a successful walk. Take time to enjoy your regular activities, maintain a healthy diet and sleep schedule, and unwind before embarking on a hike. Predictions regarding the journey should not cause mental worry. Spend time with your closest pals to recharge your batteries and renew your spirit. Pre-trek preconceptions are unwarranted since the first contact with the other trekkers is certain to be a source of inspiration and energy. Conditions during the walk will contribute to the increase in mental readiness. The mental repercussions of physical disadvantages will not be ignored. So, when you hike, pay attention to different regions of your body and purposefully relax them. If you want to enjoy your hike, you should learn to loosen up a little, particularly in the hips. Think about your descent as a simple dance, and enjoy the natural rhythms that the path and your body can discover together gradually, whether you're on a flowing downhill route or a frightening slope. Try out a few new walking techniques to add some fun to your commute without worrying about getting somewhere in particular. Maintaining mental fitness mostly requires a willingness to relax and take in the journey, rather than subjecting oneself to undue stress.

The native food was delicious, and the people were more than happy to assist me in any way they could. My plan is to join them on their future adventure without a doubt.

During my ascent of Deo Tibba We appreciate your assistance in getting us to the top of Mt. Deo Tibba; it's not an easy hike, but our guides' encouragement kept us going when we almost turned back when one of our party couldn't make it. Many thanks to the Himalayan Adventure Trips staff.

Best time to do.

Deo Tibba Base Camp Trek Overview

Standing tall at 6001 meters, Deo Tibba is one of the tallest mountains of Kullu district and its summit provides an amazingly beautiful view of the Pir Panzal mountain range. The trek is absolutely mesmerizing as you get up close and personal with the mighty Himalayas.

It starts from near Jagatsukh, a village near Manali, and crosses through charming forests, amidst mountains and ends at a blue glacial lake. While technical climbing is required to reach the summit of Deo Tibba, the trek upto its base can be done by all medically-fit people having some prior trekking experience.

Trek Itinerary

Arrival in kullu-manali.

You arrive in Kullu-Manali and get some time to acclimatize yourself. You can stay at our partner hotels/ guesthouses/ huts/ campsites.

Jagatsukh to Khanool to Chhika

We meet in Manali and head for Jagatsukh, a beautiful small village located on the left bank of river Beas and some 7 kms from Manali. We take a dirt road from Jagatsukh and go up the mountain till we reach a water dam site in Khanool, which is some 12 kms from Jagatsukh. Our trek starts from this dam site. We trek along the Jagatsukh Nallah for at least another four to five hours (depending on the speed) to reach the picturesque Chhika. Night stay in the tents in Chhika.

Chhika to Seri

Next morning, after breakfast we resume our trekking. We trek along the Jagatsukh Nallah and in the middle of the mighty mountains and reach Seri before sunset. We stay here for the night and get further acclimatized to the rising altitude. It also starts to get a little windy up here and nights can get real cold here especially if weather turns to worst. 

Seri to Tenta

We start early after breakfast. We continue to ascend along the gushing rivulet and amidst closing mountain walls and reach Tenta by evening. We stay and rest here for the night in the tents. We are in complete wilderness.

Tenta to Deo Tibba and Back

Next morning, we go up further along the white streams and reach the blue glacial lake known as ‘Chhota Chandertaal’. Standing by the lake, Deo Tibba is right above us. We stay here some time and return to Tenta. We spend the night in Tenta.

Tenta to Chhika

Next morning after breakfast we start descending and reach Seri by afternoon. We don’t stay here and reach Chhika by sundown. We stay in Chhika for the night.

Chhika to Khanool and back to Jagatsukh

Frequently asked questions and answers

Will i be refunded if i cancel a trek.

It depends on when you are cancelling it. This is our trek cancellation policy:

Total Refund: If cancelled a month before the beginning of the trek date.

75% cash refund: If cancelled 15 days before the start of the trek date.

50% cash refund: If cancelled within a week before the start of the trek date.

Why cancellation charges?

Because when a trek is booked, our team starts making arrangements like taking permissions from the local administrations to checking routes to setting up base camps etc. So, if a trek is cancelled nearer to the trek starting date, higher the cancellation charges or lesser the refund amount.

Do we cancel treks?

It’s extremely rare. The Wildcone will cancel a trek only and only due to extreme and unfavorable weather conditions or natural calamities or because of some other external factors like a government regulation etc which are not in our hands. We have not cancelled any treks so far. If we do, we will provide a voucher for the full trek amount. The voucher can be redeemed in any of our future treks.

What all do I need to bring along for a trek?

Depends from trek to trek. But a pair of good hiking shoes and warm clothes are a must for any trek. Once you have booked a trek, our team members will provide you all information and answer all your queries.

What’s the menu during a trek?

We serve three vegetarian meals — breakfast, lunch and dinner — everyday on a trek. Consumption of alcohol is not allowed.

Why trek with the Wildcone?

Because your safety and a hassle-free experience is our top priority. And this is ensured by our seasoned professionals, who are the most trusted trekking guides in the Kullu valley having decades of experience in mountaineering.​

Small Group Size

Our batch sizes are capped at 15 for smaller treks with the trek leader and trekker ratio of 1:8. This ratio, in our years of experience, has proven to deliver the best trekking experience for individuals as well as groups. Capping the size of the group ensures individual attention to each trekker so that no signs of distress or need during the trek go unnoticed. It also helps to form a more cohesive cohort with better group energy which helps define the rhythm and pace of days on the trek. As you go higher up on the BRS scale, since the stakes are higher, expeditions have an even smaller group size with the ratio of expedition leader to climber set at 1:2.

Qualified Trek Leaders

We follow a rigorous regime of hiring and training our experts in the field. Each trek leader is a certified mountaineer with years of experience in the field. In addition to their qualification, they also go through practical and situational training to tackle any and all kinds of sudden conditions that may present themselves on the ground. Being unpredictable is the core nature of the mountains but being ready for any circumstance as best as possible is a controllable asset that we try to nurture. Our field experts are also trained in basic medicine and first-aid response. Watch: Forerunners - The Making of A Trek Leader At Bikat Adventures
