A good day starts with a good breakfast. Post breakfast, your trekking to bakarthach will start. Our Trikon member will accompany you to the point. The time period of this point  might take 4 to 5 hours. While trekking to Bakarthach point, you will get to see stunning views of the snow capped mountain peaks and alluring glaciers. Make sure you have your binoculars or camera handy. We continue up to a scenic campsite at the pastures of Bakarthach which is a high-altitude meadow and literally means ‘shepherd’s field’. These enchanting meadows are very popular pastures for the Gaddis – a hardy nomadic tribe of shepherds, and it’s easy to find flocks of sheep grazing peacefully in this pastoral idyll. These sun and wind swept meadows will be a feast for your senses. Once we reach the point we make our camp point in Bakarthach. Dinner will be provided in camp site. Bonfire with light music, surrounded by beautiful mountains & views, will give you pleasant moments. Overnight stay in tents.

An early start to the day and a short climb up the ridge through Bhoj Patr will get us to Beas Kund. Bhoj Patr gets its name from the fact that the area has a lot of Bhoj Patr (birch) trees. We will spend time here at the glacial tarn of Beas Kund – the source of one of the major rivers of north India. The legend is that Sage Vyas, the author of the great epic Mahabharata, meditated here. After a full day of excursion in the Beas Kund plateau, we will come back to Bakarthach in the evening.

Day 6 - Thursday , 24th May - Descend back to Solang valley

After breakfast, Our journey starts for 'NAGGAR CASTLE'. Naggar Castle, the official seat of kings for centuries. was built by Raja Sidh Singh more than 500 years ago. According to a legend, he used stones from the abandoned palace (Gardhak) of Rana Bhonsal to build the castle[3]. He ordered the labourers to form a human chain over the Beas river connecting its left and right banks to transfer the stones manually. The caste survived the earthquake of 1905. While most houses in the valley and the nearby city of Jawa were completely ruined, the castle's use of earthquake-proof techniques helped it sustain despite the calamity. Our trekking completes by river rafting, while coming back to Solang Valley. Night stay in Solang valley in tents.
