The Pir Panjal Range's second-highest peak, Mt. Deo Tibba, is located in Himachal Pradesh's Kullu valley and stands an astonishing 6,001 metres above sea level. The Deo Tibba is thought to be the meeting place for all gods (devtas), who are said to congregate and sit atop this hill to address topics of the utmost significance. It is located southeast of Manali above the village of Jagatsukh. Putting the legends aside, we like it because of its eccentricity. The sole adjective that describes its erratic personality is "temperamental." Its intense moods, more than the fact that they are constantly changing, are what make it eccentric.  With two vertical ice gullies and an ice cap on the route to the top, the trek begins in Manali, a popular destination for backpackers, and it qualifies as a rigorous mountaineering excursion. The track leads to the base camp of this spectacular peak through the most beautiful terrain, including expansive meadows with the most stunning display of colourful wild flowers, a panoramic view of the entire mountain range, and dramatic cloud formations that can be seen all along the way. We reach a scene of boulders, moraine, and slowly appearing snow that quickly covers the entire mountain's surface as the vegetation begins to dwindle. The steep descent to Duhangan Col is one of the climb's more interesting (and difficult) sections. The col has a well-established reputation. It is as terrifying as it sounds if you've heard the stories about the col. The peak of Mount Deo Tibba, which separates it from neighbouring mountains and is shaped like a dome, is another fascinating feature of the mountain. Unlike other summits, which are sharp, singular points, this summit is flat and more plateau-like. The trek has some tough aspects that call for special expertise because they necessitate negotiating vertical ice gullies. Fixed ropes and specific climbing gear are needed to navigate these 60–70 degree grades. Mt. Deo Tibba expedition is intended for seasoned hikers with prior experience using mountaineering techniques including the usage of ice axes, crampons, descender, jumar, and roping up procedures. This is because of the mountain's difficult terrain and expedition-style climb. This adventure is ideal for any ambitious mountaineer hoping to climb higher in the near future and wanting to reach a height of 6000 metres or more.   Quick Facts: Region: Manali, Himachal Pradesh Start/End Point of the Trek: Manali Duration: 13D/12N Mt Deo Tibba Trek Height: 19700ft Mt Deo Tibba Trek Distance: 60 km  Mt Deo Tibba Difficulty Level: Difficult  Mt Deo Tibba Trek Temperature: Day (10°C to 15°C) and Night (-2°C to 5°C) Best time to do Mt Deo Tibba Trek: Mid June to October   What is the Best Time to Visit? As the trekkers move upward, Deo Tibba presents a difficult ascent and descent. Mid May to October are the finest months for trekking these pathways. The trek falls into the category of pre- and post-monsoon excursions because of the unfavourable weather conditions.    What’s the Difficulty Level of the Trek? The trek is of difficult grade. We strongly advise a reasonable degree of physical fitness due to the top's rather high height. Acclimatisation is necessary because of the difficult Deo Tibba Expedition's requirement of covering more distances and higher elevations in a shorter amount of time. Before beginning the trek, we urge hikers to psychologically and physically prepare themselves.   Can we Rent Equipment for the Trek?
