Bhabha Pass trek

Hi,

I plan to do Bhabha Pass in July. I would start on 6th July from Delhi and return back by 15th.

The plan is somewhat simple.

Day 1: Get to Shimla
Day 2: Shimla-Kafnoo
Day3-Day7:I hope 5 days are enough to go from Kafnoo to Mud on other side
Day 8:Kaza-Manali
Day 9:Manali-Delhi

I have talked to few people but I am the only one who is sure about the plan.
Please let me know if anyone is interested in joining.

P.S. Done Roopkund, Gaumukh-Tapovan, Milam and some other treks in Dalhousie.

This is an excellent piece which explains the trek:

This is my dream trek. I wanted to do this,but don't have any leaves in July.

Guess, I can do this only in August end / September mid.

^^Nevemind...best of luck for August.

Hi,

Came across this site and your post very recently. Can you postpone this trip- will give me time to organise. Will you be going alone or you have a minimum number in mind. What equipment/fire medium is to be organised; have you tied up with the porter/pony.

Atulya,

I am thinking of september 3rd /4th week. If you are ok,we can plan. I am yet to decide other details

Hi Sriram,

I've just done a trek, so I may not be doing Bhabha Pass this year.

An artificial lake has come up near Mudh- the last point of this route, lengthening the trek by 30 odd kms. If you do plan this trek pls confirm the status beforehand.

Thanks

I am interested if the trek is between 30th Sept - 16th Oct

How it was formed? What will be the last point of trek now?Will this problem be solved in coming months?

September 30th week is what I am planning...Will keep this forum posted.

The problem is solved. A solo trekker has completed this trek without any delays.

Thanks for your information.

Here is the rough itenary. If anybody intrested. Let me know . As of now 2 folks from chennai confirmed.

30-Sep Sunday -> Shimla to Kafnoo - Taxi ( 9 hrs drive )
1-Oct Monday -> Kafnoo to Mulling ( 5 hrs Trek )
3-Oct Wednesday -> Muling to Kahra ( 3 hrs )
4-Oct Thursday -> Kahra to Pustirang ( 3 hrs )
5-Oct Friday -> Phustirang - Bhabapass - Baldhar ( 8 hrs )
6-Oct Saturday -> Baldhar - Mudh - Kaza ( 5 hrs trek and 3 hrs drive to Kaza )
7-Oct Sunday -> Kaza - Manali or Shimla

My 2 cents

- 4 days from Kafnoo to Mud should be sufficient though there can be no harm in planning / budgeting for an extra day -
- Muling to Phustirang can be done in 1 day.
- From Phustirang to Phaldar is a long day. There are options of camping earlier and still getting to Mudh the next day
- The only bus to Kaza leaves from Mudh in the morning at 7 a.m. So, unless you have pre-booked a taxi from Mudh to Kaza please don't expect that you will be able to go to Kaza the day you land in Mudh.

cheers
sathya

Could anyone please help me with some guide info for the Bhabha Pass trek.
