Kullu and Tirthan valley Tour Itinerary
Day 1
Your journey begins at Aut Volvo Point, where you are greeted by your trek leader and transferred by vehicle to the serene hamlet of Gushaini, the heart of Tirthan Valley. The 1.5-hour drive along the Tirthan River is a beautiful introduction to the Himalayan winter landscape—pine forests glazed in frost, snow patches on shaded slopes, and clear blue skies. On reaching Gushaini, settle into a cozy riverside homestay or lodge. Winter temperatures usually hover between 0°C and 8°C, so you’ll be offered tea and a warm lunch before beginning a light acclimatization walk through the nearby orchards and village trails.
The walk serves as a gentle warm-up, helping you adjust to the crisp mountain air while giving you the chance to take in the region’s unique culture. You’ll pass traditional Kath-Kuni houses, winter-bare apple orchards, and locals preparing for the season with firewood gathering and wool-spinning. As evening approaches, return to your stay for a briefing on the coming days’ trek plan—route details, winter precautions, and gear check. Dinner is served early to ensure you rest well before the trekking begins. Overnight stay in Gushaini.

Day 2
The Ookhal trek starts from a village of the ecozone called Pekhri accessible by a jeepable road from Gushaini. From Pekhri you walk towards Lakcha (two hours), a very charming traditional Himalayan village. Have your packed lunch before Lakcha at a very scenic spot. Some parts of the trail to Lakcha are quite steep but don’t worry, anyone with an average fitness can do it..
After Lakcha you still have at least one hour walk. You reach a flat-topped ridge where you will set up your first camp, Ranghthar. From Ranghthar you have an ideal view on the Himalayas and the Tirthan valley. A spectacular spot for camping ! It is really great to enjoy your meal at the bonfire during sunset.

Morning The sun rises over the peaks of the GHNP. Don’t miss out on this ! After a copious breakfast, everything is packed and you start your second walking day. The first step is Kauni, a very nice small summit 350 m above Rangthar. The way to Kauni is the steeper ascending trail of the entire trek.
