TREKKING AND CAMPING HOLIDAYS
In Western Himalayas Himachal and Leh-Ladakh region offer an incredibly varied landscape of mountains, valleys, lakes, glaciers and rivers, and these are best enjoyed on foot. For those with a passion for walking and trekking, or simply those with an extra taste for adventure, our walking holidays are the perfect choice. Favourite activity on tour, the walks and treks are in the area of valley of Gods Kullu, the middle country Spiti, and in the land of monasteries’ Leh-Ladakh.
There is truly no more inspiring, exhilarating and rewarding way to experience some of the most captivating and wondrous areas of this sub continent India. So much so, we decided to design complete walking tours around them.
Hamta Pass Trek
One of the most delightful treks in the Manali region affording views of lush green valleys, towering snow clad mountains and barren hills with surrealistic forms and shapes. Excellent for the trekker who is reasonably fit. Leaving the Manali valley, the trek proceeds through evergreen cool forests of walnut, oak and pine. The views of the entire Kullu valley are excellent and are glimpsed all along the trail. Once atop the Hamta Pass (4200m.) then it is into The Chandra valley of Lahaul & Spiti district where barren towering mountains rise above lush green fields of potato and barley. And once atop of the Rohtang Pass (3970m.) another spectacular panorama of peaks appears in to the Lahaul valley and also one can have a dazzling view of luminous vale of the Manali valley. An unforgettable trek, known to very few trekkers.
