Base Camp
Babeli (4000 ft.) along Kullu- Manali highway, about 7 km from Kullu, is the Base Camp. It is, thus, well connected by road from Kullu, which is in turn is well connected with Delhi, Chandigarh and other cities of Punjab. Base camp is situated along the mighty Beas river, with tall and old Pine trees alongside the road.
Two days are kept for orientation and acclimatization at base camp, which includes rappelling and rock climbing on one day and trekking up the nearby forests for a few kilometers up and down with a decent amount of weight in ones rucksack. After this, trekkers are ready to leave for their next destination.
