After taking a long break following the lengthy trek from day 1 to today, you will begin your ascent to the top on the eighth day. The path today will ascend for an hour towards the glaciers and a rock façade. This day will also be a bit exhausting as you make your way to the peak; after about three hours of arduous climbing, you will reach the top of the pass, which is 17,500 feet above sea level. From here, you can see Pin Valley's route towards Srikanth Mahadev, a shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. To provide all of its trekkers with the best possible destinations, the Bike and Trek Adventure has created trails that descend into flurry and ice fields that are covered in grasses and high rocks.

It is recommended that you include a buffer day in your trip itinerary. The price of a buffer day, which costs 110 euros a day, is not covered by the plan. A surcharge will be applied for the buffer day on a per-day, per-person basis. If the expedition does not need the buffer day, use it to explore Manali Buffer day is an extra day that is spent at the base camp for a summit attempt in case the weather does not allow. This day is used only when the summit is not possible as per the regular itinerary. Whether to use the buffer day or not is totally team’s decision.

Later, you will be able to see the path of Bhabha Pass on the same road; it will initially be a desolate area surrounded by enormous mountains. Arriving at the Tiya and setting up camp in a Tiya surrounded by mountains will be breath-taking, but because you'll be at a high altitude, the temperature will drop at night.
