Monday 17 Sept - Manali Trek Day 8








8:30am start at 3484m.




We're heading over Thamsar Pass (4700m) by 2:20pm.




It's a gradual climb over moraine boulders all the way to the top in perfect clear conditions.




As we cross the pass the valley we decend into is "fogged in" making route finding interesting.




One of the ponies slips on the ice and hurts itself. We follow large blood spots down the trail.




Spectacular sounding thunder echoes through the valleys all afternoon.




At times the valley floor is covered by snow bridges. Water crashing underneath.
