Himalayan Advn Cultural Bonanza
Himalayan Advn Cultural Bonanza
Duration 10 nights 11 days

One of the most amazing and memorable journeys one can have combining the best of adventure, culture and nature; from a raging river to the massive mountains on the other end of the journey. We begin with the Banjara Rafting Camp at Mori, on the banks of the Tons River where you can experience the rush of adrenaline as you come face to face with the might of the thundering river threatening to engulf all that comes in its way, followed by extraordinary sense of accomplishment on having conquered the white fury and beaten the odds. Having pumped up sufficient energy, we now continue onwards to reach Sarahan, home to the beautiful 800 years old Bhimakali Temple. The temple is one of the finest examples of hill architecture with its weathered walls enclosing approximately an acre of temples, old residential quarters, courtyards and a small recently created museum. It also holds an ancient sacred text. There are delightful walks and interesting excursions. A few kilometers short of Sarahan is the quaint village of Ranwin from where a tunnel is said to lead to Sarahan.

From here we move to Sangla, nestled in one of the most incredible valleys in the country opened up quite recently to the public - the Kinnaur Valley. Here one can go on some beautiful walks along the Baspa river or trek to Chitkul, which was on the trade route on the Old Hindustan-Tibetan border road and is also the last village before the Tibetan border. We culminate our journey in the beautiful orchard town of Thanedar, which is home to the first apple orchard brought by a social worker from Philadelphia, Mr. Stokes. The "Sparking Apple" Orchard can still be seen here.
