In order to reach Maninda Tal we must first walk back towards the bridge before the FRH and climb on the left side of the valley. The trail is thin and can occupy only one person at a time, so make sure you walk in line and don’t try to overtake. After traversing for a kilometer the route opens up to a wide valley. This valley leads to Borasu Pass ( a difficult trek ) which acts as an entry gate to Himachal.
