Sikkim stands out like a small thumb in the eastern part of India landlocked with some illustrious Himalayan neighbours including Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan Despite that, it has carved out a unique niche for itself as the little Shangrila, home to the highest mountain in India and the third highest of the World - Khangchendzonga Although, the second smallest state by land and smallest state by population in India, it has tremendous diversity in the ethnicity of locals - Lepcha, Limbu, Magar, Gurung, Sherpa, Nepali, Newari, Bhutia, Tamangall of them distinctly preserving their identity through the ages
Sikkim officially became part of India in 1975, before which it was ruled by the Chogyals(priest-kings from the Namgyal dynasty)

Kingdom of Bhutan
Feb 09 to 18, 2020
Apr 12 to 21, 2020
Bhutan - the fabled Himalayan Kingdom sandwiched between India to the South and Tibet to the North is a small nation, unique in several ways It is the only country in the world that measures development in terms of Gross National Happiness(GNH) instead of GDP A nation ruled by Kings who have pledged to keep a minimum of 60% of the country under forest cover for all time!

Guardians of Pashmina Aug 01 to Aug 10, 2020
Pashmina or as the west knows it - Cashmere is the finest wool from the land of Changthang and it literally means 'soft gold' in Kashmiri This fine thinner-than-hair wool is hand-woven into shawls by the Kashmiri artisans and sold world over But lesser known are the goat herders, the nomadic tribe endemic to the vast windswept high-altitude (4500m) cold desert plateau - Changthang It is located at the South-Eastern corner of Ladakh extending 1600kms eastward into Tibet and into modern day China With expansive highlands and giant sapphire lakes, it is home to the Changpas, the wandering nomads of this land

Dec 29 to Jan 05, 2020
Manali! The name itself excites one and all for a variety of reasons :) But most of all for its chill climes and pristine Himalayan ranges Nestled between the Pir Panjal Range and the Dhauladhar range is Kullu Valley, the gateway to Ladakh and the Karakoram Manali, the most famous tourist hill town in Kullu Valley is at an altitude of 2000m and enjoys salubrious weather and a steady inflow of tourists and trekkers through the year The side valleys around Manali offer some amazing trekking options from relaxed day hikes for amateurs to tough trails for the seasoned trekker The only time the valley sort of goes into slumber would be during the winter when the inflow of travellers thins down

In Quest Of The Snow Leopard
Feb 28 to Mar 08, 2020
Mar 13 to Mar 22, 2020
In the dead of the night, in peak winter, when the mountains are covered by a snow quilt and are in deep slumber, ‘the grey ghost’ descends from the high inhospitable Himalayan heights to the lower reaches in the valley…in search of a mate and its prey - the wild mountain goats!
Snow Leopard (Ladakhi: Shan) - An enigmatic mammal capable of surviving in some of the most brutal terrains and in extreme environmental conditions, is the undisputed King of the snowcapped regions Easily the most magnificent of all the wild cats, this nocturnal cat moves like the phantom in the high mountains of Central Asia in about 12 countries including India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Tibet, Bhutan and Nepal In India, it is most prevalent in parts of Ladakh and Spiti Due to...

Markha Winter Walk Feb 16 to Feb 25, 2020
During the middle of winter, in the high altitude arid mountains, when the peaks and valleys are covered in snow, and the trees stand all bare, it feels like the Himalaya is in deep meditative state! A state which exudes an aura of peace and serenity so profound that it pervades into the being of every traveller who cares to visit
We discovered this trip accidentally in the winter of 2017, when our scheduled trip to Chadar got cancelled due to excessive snowfall and we had to think of alternatives and zeroed on Markha Valley Markha Valley is generally a summer favourite and has few takers in winter with its illustrious cousin the Chadar trek drawing all the attention of trekkers To our good fortune, what we chanced upon to our delight when we walked the Markha...

Markha Valley Trek
Jun 06 to Jun 14, 2020
Sep 05 to Sep 13, 2020
If you had to choose just one trek to do in Ladakh, it must be the Markha Valley Trek It’s not “the most popular trek” in Ladakh without reason Right from ease of access, remoteness of valley, wilderness experience and just the feel of trekking in Ladakh - it is all there on this trail The long hours of walking in wind swept arid landscape with green villages suddenly appearing as a welcoming Oasis, is exactly how trekking in Markha is Right in between the valley is the quaint Tacha Gompa perched high up on a cliff adding some mystic to this trek What really adds to the experience is the presence of little hamlets along the way affording a high degree of interaction with the hardy natives This is the first valley where the concept of homestays was pioneered in...

Spiti Village Walks Jun 28 to Jul 09, 2020
God seemed to have created Spiti at complete leisure There are few people in the world whose imagination is not instantly captured by Spiti at first sight…such is its beauty As you drive down from Kunzum La, you are transported to a different world of arid lands, multicoloured mountains, impressive chortens, fluttering prayer flags, and 1000 year old monasteries built on high spurs Between such landscape are nestled picturesque villages with toiling locals in their lush green farms of barley, buckwheat, and mustard Solar energy has been well harnessed in the valley and it is not surprising to see entire villages subsisting on just solar power
Spiti is cut-off from the rest of the world during its severe winters, when temperatures drop drastically to sub zero degrees...

An ethereal walk traversing countries and geographies, from Indian desert mounds-of-sand like mountains of Spiti Valley to the vast expansive high altitude plateau, Changthang - the home of the nomadic Changpa’s in Tibet, is the Parang la trek The trek reaches it crescendo, not just on one day – the day we cross the Parang la across the ragged mountains, but another – the day we soak in the serenity of the Tso Moriri The trek is an endless walk along through green meadows where the Kiangs (Tibetan wild horses) run wild, through little bushes of green in the arid brown of the Spiti that are the rhododendrons, along the cobalt blue stillness of the Tso Moriri and then on to the vast expansive ill-populated wetlands of the Changthang plateau This trek embodies...

Stok Kangri Climb No Departures
Stok Kangri at 6153m is a superb introduction to high altitude mountaineering in the Himalayas It is considered a trekking peak that can be attempted without being bogged down by the technicalities and skill of mountaineering On the other hand, Stok Kangri can prove to be a serious challenge depending on the snow and weather conditions on summit night
In recent times this mountain has garnered so much popularity among amateurs and novice climbers, that it could easily be considered as the “common man’s Everest”! The most important aspect to consider while attempting Stok Kangri would be the acclimatization to high altitude At 6153m, the peak is very high while the Base Camp itself is at a height of 4900m, as high as some passes one would encounter on a...

There are few treks in the Himalaya that can match the popularity and aura that surrounds the trek to Everest Base Camp in the Solo Khumbu Valley of Nepal You have to walk this path and experience it to actually know why The trail passes through the heartland of the Sherpa community of Nepal, who migrated from Tibet about 400 years ago and made Khumbu Valley their home The trek is challenging with some long hours of walking going upto a maximum height of 5545m; yet the accommodation in Tea-houses during the trek adds a great element of comfort to the...
