Trip Introduction

 

The ancient Indians called the Beas river as Vipas or Arjiki while the ancient Greeks called it as Hyphasis. The current name Beas is regarded as formed from Vyas who is the author of Mahabharata, the great Indian epic, however some scholars in Himachal Pradesh call this river as Vipasha.

Beas Kund - Beas so named after Rishi ( Sage ) Beas and Kund is hindi word for tiny lake. This tiny lake of Beas Kund situated at higher and upper valley of Solang.  Which is the heart of winter and summer games in Manali.

Testimonial

" We greatly enjoyed the service of Potala Adventures for the trek to Beas Kund. It was a very well organised trek, and the staff that accompanied us was very gourgeous, experienced and pleasant. All in all, it was great experience, highly recommended ! "

Mr. Neeraj and Miss Sumanda , June 2009


" I am kind of person with a thirst for adventure. And all the adventureous out there. Potala Adventurers should be the first choice. I have never been on a trek before and the experience was outstanding. 

The service .. too good

The food .. awesome

The guide .. very friendly

words can not express my experience on this trek to Beas Kund organised by Potala Adventurers. I would choose Potala for very next trek. I would happily suggest the name of Potala Adventurers for all those who have a taste for adventure. Tenzin Ningbo- you rock man ". 
From Kakinada. Andhra Pradesh. October 2009.

 
" My recent trip dt 16-19 Oct. to Beas Kund has surpassed all my ideas and expactations of a trek. Adventure should be given first name .. Tenzin. I am glad i found the right man for the job, awesome adventure, incredible experience. Ask the Kirlog i put at 4000mtrs. above MSL. It might kill you. Veerender our guide is VEER ( former SASE). He is wasting his time. He should be working with National Geographic, for his capability. I wont call a 5 star intercontinental only because there wasnt a sauce made the soup bowl. Way 2 tease the appetite Sheru Bhai. Loved the experience.

I recommend everyone what i had to feel and love life. Thanks ".
