Complete Chadar Trek
Jan 24-Feb 04, 2024
The Chadar Trek is a phenomenal winter expedition Period
If Ladakh is a remote Himalayan region of Indian Himalaya, then Zanskar would be called the remote region of Ladakh! The region gets its name from the Zanskar river that cascades through the stunning Zanskar Gorge famously referred to as ‘The Grand Canyon of Asia’ Zanskar river is a tributary of Indus and is popular for whitewater rafting and kayaking in the Summers In the winters, the temperature in this cold, arid desert plummets drastically falling as low as -30 degree celsius forcing the Zanskar to freeze on the surface Thus the top layer forms a veil of ice referred to as ‘Chadar’ by...

Markha Winter Walk On Request
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...

In Quest Of The Snow Leopard
Mar 07-Mar 18, 2023
Feb 14-Feb 25, 2024
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...

Manali!

Markha Valley Trek

Aug 05-Aug 13, 2023
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...

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...

Markha Winter Walk On Request
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...

Mar 07-Mar 18, 2023
Feb 14-Feb 25, 2024
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...

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! As of now over 70% of Bhutan is under pristine forest cover and is a carbon-negative country
If you are not taken by their verdant natural richness, their ancient monasteries and formidable dzongs (fortresses) will take your breath away The Tiger Nest Monastery, clings to a cliff-side surrounded by majestic mountains and emerald green valleys Buddhism is the main religion practised here and...

Feb 26-Mar 04, 2024
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
Here’s a chance to experience Manali and around in the quiet winters and...

Markha Winter Walk On Request
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...

LANGTANG and GOSAIKUNDA LAKE TREK Custom Departures available
Langtang Valley Trek is part of the Langtang National Park located in the Eastern part of Nepal bordering Tibet The starting town of Syabrubesi is also the way to the Tibetan border that leads to Mount Kailash and Mansarovar pilgrimage tours This is a trek not as famous as the Everest or Annapurna routes, which makes it tempting for the ones who love avoiding crowds and big groups and more quiet time in the mountains The first part of the trek is easy and a gradual walk all the way to Kyanjin Gompa and back with easy gradient shifts This bit is great for first timers as well as the ones who wish to take it easy The second part of the trek to Gosaikunda Lake has some steep hikes and is strenuous The walk back to the roadhead at Dhunche from the lake is easy and passes...

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)
