We start our day with an uphill and leave the tree line below. We try to get to the top of the ridge as much as possible as it gives us great views of this area. Most of it is basically going up hill. We can see Bara bangal range and Manali town from our trail. We finally reach one of the camping places which is known as Rouli Khouli though we don’t camp here. It is huge meadow for camping and usually full of horses from local villages of Manali who are left here to graze all summer. From here we start heading down to the river and it is pretty steep downhill at many places. We reach the river where we cross it over a rock bridge (naturally rocks has piled on the river and has built a bridge) After crossing the bridge we walk downstream few hundred meter and reach our beautiful camping place by the small fresh water stream. It is a beautiful camping surrounded with many colorful flowers and when you look upstream, you can see Deo Tibba Mountain. There is an option of going further to next base camp. In that case we don’t cross the river and just stick to the true left bank of the river. A little uphill and then down hill takes us to big wide grassland in the shadow of Deo Tibba Mountain. We can camp here too though it can be little colder than camping down stream. Taken Time: 5-7 hours O/N Camp
