Day 4 : (Ody Thach) Thakur Kuwan (3320m) – Ody Thach (3600m) (Trek / 3 – 4 Hrs)?
The destination for this day will be Ody Thach. What makes this stretch exciting is a few tricky river crossings – Pandu Pul 2 and Pandu Pul 2. These ‘puls’ or bridges are gigantic boulder with a stone staircase on one side. Very careful manoeuvring is required, and guides are there to assist as well. After crossing, it is a straight walk till Ody Thach, which is a beautiful meadow with the majestic Kullu Eiger peak overlooking it. Spend the night in tents.

The trek on this day will be very enjoyable, as you walk alongside the river Parvati. Most of the terrain is flat, except towards the end of the trail, where you have to climb up a lateral moraine, which can take some effort. After the climb, spend some time gazing at the many small rivulets flowing across a vast expanse of even land. Mantalai lake is the source of river Parvati. Explore the area more, click photographs and set up camps to rest at night.
Day 6 : (Mantalai) Mantalai (3930m) Rest Day?

You will traverse a moraine area towards the end and will come out into a beautiful snowfield, which, depending on weather conditions, will be the campsite for the night. After a brief rest, the guides will go on a recce trip to check the conditions for crossing the pass. Feast your eyes on glaciers, snowfields, and moraines which surround the camp. You can even hear the sounds of an odd avalanche to thrill you even more. Sleep early tonight as you will have to make an early start the next day

Congratulate yourself on reaching 17,000ft, because that is a huge achievement! After spending some time at the pass, get ready to begin your descent through snowfields and moraine sections to reach the Pin river in Spiti valley.
