Heavy rains in Himachal Pradesh have triggered a significant landslide near Mandi, causing traffic jams on the route. Road clearance work is ongoing, and the vehicles are moving at a slow pace.
With the monsoon setting in, such weather is expected. The current weather in Manali is cloudy with light rain, but largely stable. According to the IMD forecast, more rain is expected tomorrow, followed by some relief the day after.
We are personally in touch with our trekkers, keeping them informed about the state of the trek and travel, which is changing by the hour.
Our teams on the ground are closely monitoring the situation and ensuring the safety and well-being of all trekkers.
If you have an upcoming trek in July or August, here are a few tips to prepare better:
- Expect rain and prepare for it. Carry rainwear without fail and pack your backpacks to be rainproof.
- Keep a buffer day in your travel plans to accommodate last-minute changes in your itinerary.
- Book flexible flight tickets that can be rescheduled easily if needed.
- Track the weather forecast regularly to stay mentally prepared.
We’ll continue to share updates as the situation evolves.
