Manali Winter Experience On Request
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 Feb 05 to Feb 13, 2022
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 04 to Jun 12, 2022
Sep 03 to Sep 11, 2022
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 25 to Jul 06, 2022
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...

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...

Sep 24 to Oct 09, 2022
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...
