The town of Manali, nestled near the northern end of the Kullu Valley, is the jewel of Himachal Pradesh. Just a few kilometers away lies Lamadugh, a charming alpine plateau. Your trek will start at Manu Temple in Old Manali. This historic temple is dedicated to sage Manu, who according to Hindu religion, is the first man on earth and the author of Manusmriti, an ancient Sanskrit text. From the temple, start your trek towards Lamadugh. Carry adequate food, water, and medical supplies so that you reach your destination safe and healthy.
Gear up for a steep climb as you cross a thick trail of deodar and pine forests. En route, you will get mesmerizing views of Manali and the upper Kullu valley.

The lush green plateau is surrounded by snowy peaks. After spending some time soaking in the beauty of Lamadugh, head back to Manali, where you have the option to indulge in various activities as well as sightseeing before heading back home.
