HIDDEN HIMACHAL (9 nights 10 days)
Just 190 kms from Chandigarh, lies Thanedar, a small
orchard town tucked away 10 kms from Narkanda. This was the
birthplace of apples in India and affords a serene and
calm experience. For the activity oriented there are some
lovely walks as also a trek to a peak nearby.
From here your journey takes you into the unknown
Himalayas where you will see the Kinner Kailash in all its
majesty and the gurgling Baspa River famous for trout
fishing, at our camp at Sangla. Take nature walks through
the surrounding forests, trek up to the breathtaking
meadows, camp out in the open or simply laze by the riverbank. Continue your journey to the barren landscapes
untouched by time at Spiti valley.
In Tabo visit the 1008 years old monastery, check out the
serene Nako Lake in the middle of the village, go on to Kaza and visit the highest motorable village in the world
- Hikkim. Coming back from the unknown to the known, drive
through the 4551m Kunzum pass and 3978m high Rohtang pass
to reach Manali. This is where your journey ends with
umpteen memories to last a lifetime.
