We begin our journey in the morning around 8 a.m. from Chandigarh to cover the 260 kilometers towards Thachi Valley in about 7 hours. We will reach Thachi Valley around 4 p.m. After reaching Thachi we will start our trek towards Shalwad village, climbing the 2.5 kilometers to a height of 2,550 meters in 1.5 hours. We rest in a comfortable homestay overnight and feast on some mouth-watering dinner as we prepare for our trek the next day! Thachi- Thachi village is located in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh. This is a beautiful, untouched and unexplored valley so far. It is in the Seraj-2 constituency of Mandi district. This valley is famous for its apple orchards, simple and happy life of villagers with beautiful views.
Rise up early and after breakfast start trekking towards the Lord Vishnu Temple Top covering 5 kilometers in about 3 hours. You will pass through a rich forest untouched by tourists and the trail is free from any type of plastic, so please remember to not litter anywhere during the trek. Upon reaching the temple and having lunch, we get briefed about the ranges, passes, and peaks visible from there from our experienced trek leader. After exploring the ridge and taking in the different views from any viewpoints, we head back to the homestay and sip on some Madrosh tea for relaxation. We will light up a bonfire, sit and just enjoy the beautiful night sky full of crystal-clear stars. You can even get yourself some delicious home-cooked Guchchi mushrooms at an extra cost of Rs. 500 for one bowl to end your day with a wholesome meal!
Rise up to the sound of silence and connect with yourself. After a wholesome breakfast, we explore the village and hike down to the road for about an hour. From here, we further drive another 9 kilometers towards Speini Dhar, the pass connecting Thachi and Janjheli Valley. For the last leg of our memorable journey, we visit the Sumenu Nag Temple before hitting the road, ending our trip towards Chandigarh with memories to last for a lifetime!
