The vales of Bara-lacha-la are not just known for being incredibly scenic and pristine. They also tell the story of an undying love which flows for eternity. This is the story of the Chandrabhaga River. Legend has it that the two lovers – Chandra, the daughter of the Moon and Bhaga, the son of the Sun God- decided to unite forever. However, this wasn’t an ordinary union, it was a marriage that broke the bounds of time. Chandra and Bhaga met on the Bara-lacha-la and went in opposite directions in order to form a circular convergence in Tandi. The agile Chandra, flowing down from the Chandra-taal deftly made her way through the mountains and reached Tandi after covering a distance of 115 km (71 mi). Bhaga, on the other hand, found it difficult to maneuver through the narrow gorges, but eventually managed to make it to Tandi with great difficulty, where consequently both met and the celestial marriage was performed.

Manali is a quiet and serene destination for many tourists during the summer months. It is the ideal place for an urbanite who wishes to escape the never-ending drone of the city.
For acclimatization and adapting to the breathing and walking techniques, we will take a day trek to Lama Dug. Scaling through the forests of Fir, Oak and deodar, we will reach the beautiful meadows of Lama Dug.
From Manali we drive to Chattru, a tiny hamlet which stands out like an oasis in the high altitude cold desert of Spiti.
We will start our trek with a visit to the mysterious temple of goddess Kunzum the deity who rules the area. With a gradual climb to the top from where one can get 360-degree panorama of the snow clad peaks we will head to go over a small pass named Balarmo La
We then descend down to Chandra-taal. Chandartaal lake is an amazingly breathtaking lake nestled between the mountains of Himalayas. Its calm and crystal-clear water are the ideal location to trek and camp and also enjoy the serenity of nature.
Move from TokpoYongma and climb gradually to river TokpoGongma. This whole route is surrounded by lofty peaks and glaciers on both sides of the river Chandra.
This 8 kms long Baralacha pass is popularly known as the pass 'where many roads meet'. Signifying the dividing line between main Himalayas and Lahaul range, this pass further extends till Zanskar and is one of the best trekking passes in the world.
