Start early from Manali, driving up the scenic Rohtang road past Solang Valley towards Gulaba.

Reach Gulaba and feel the immediate shift to silence and snow-dusted Himalayan grandeur away from Manali's crowds.

Walk across the snow-covered meadows and capture the pristine white landscapes against a backdrop of towering peaks.

Warm up with a steaming bowl of Maggi and masala chai at one of the local stalls near the meadows.

Trek a short distance towards the glacier viewpoint for spectacular close-up views of ice and mountain scenery.

Set up camp in the Gulaba meadow for an overnight stay under one of Himachal's clearest night skies.

Watch the alpenglow turn the surrounding mountains pink and orange as the sun sets behind the Pir Panjal range.

Gather around the campfire for a warm dinner and hot drinks under a blanket of stars.
