Trekking down is not that much hard as it was climbing the Parvati Valley. While coming down we were aware of the places for taking rest and shops to get energy drinks and snacks. It was easier for us to get down and it took lesser time as well.Moreover, the dog that accompanied us while climbing also helped us. We gave him name Sheru. At places where we had energy drinks, we also offered biscuits to him. The whole journey was fun.We had snacks while coming down as we have to start for Kullu after coming down Parvati Valley.

It is located on the banks of Beas river and famous for river rafting. Since we went in July, river rafting was closed for few days due to rains.

We all get ready for our dinner and the hotel staff guided us to the dining area where we had a perfect dinner after such a tiring day. The food was wonderful.

After dinner, the hotel staff had arranged bonfire for us in their garden area.So we all decided to have some chitchats before going to sleep. The garden is beautiful and has the sitting area with bonfire setup in the centre. The second bonfire during the trip brought a lot of chit chat and fun among us.We were making memories to be treasured forever.

The distance between Rohtang Pass and Manali is approx 52 Km but it takes around 4 hours to reach there as roads are quite tricky. Since our driver has already taken permit to go to Rohtang Pass , we can now visit Rohtang easily.

Tip: Please ensure that you have obtained permit to visit Rohtang Pass as without permit you will not be allowed to visit. Moreover, also check whether Rohtang Pass is open for visit or not as government closes it due to climatic conditions.
