We leave for Sangla after a leisurely breakfast. We drive down towards Sutlej River. We drive along the river till Karcham from where once again, we start climbing up the mountains to reach Sangla. Early evening we will reach our camp site located ahead of Sangla for an overnight stay. After a cup of tea, we could go for a short one km walk to the lovely little Batseri village. Evening around a bonfire. Overnight stay at the camp.

After breakfast proceed for a day excursion to the Chitkul village. This is the last village on the old Indo-Tibetan trade route. From here, we can hike up to Nagasthi, the last border outpost that civilians are allowed to. It is a lovely 2.5 kms walk along a stream. Lunch along the glacier fed mountain stream.

After breakfast, leave for Shoja. We drive back to Rampur Bushehr (along Sutlej river) and then cross over the river to start climb to Kullu hills. This is one of the most picturesque and lesser known routes of Himachal. The drive is along the Kandah Nallah gorge (more like a river than Nallah). In the Silver Oak forest along the road is full of blue Iris. Cross over the Jalori pass and into Sojha village (2700M). Check-in and spend the evening around a bonfire. Overnight in Shoja.

The hike to Serolser lake is a beautiful one offering different vistas of Himalayas. A well-defined trail takes one to the lake. Few hundred meters on the trail and then you get in to the Oak forest. The sun rays filtering through the tree cover, the blue of the sky through the foliage, the up and down of the trail, an occasional sight of a bird, a clearing showing the huge green vistas cascading down to the Sutluj valley, all of this and more will keep you an enchanting company all the way to the lake. The lake makes up in crystal clear clarity what it lacks in size. The local belief is that no one has ever found a leaf floating in the lake though leafy trees surround the lake itself. Lunch near the crystal clear waters of the Lake. Hike back to Jalori pass and drive back to retreat. Night stay in retreat.

After breakfast drive back to Chandigarh via Mandi and Bilaspur to board train for your onward journey.
