HIMALAYAS &
RAJASTHAN
RAJASTHAN
The Himalayas - the very name conjures up images of imposing, snow capped peaks, raging rivers, tranquil lakes, beautiful valleys with dense forests, far-flung villages sprinkled along ever winding roads, uncharted terrains and the resilient people of this mystical & majestic region.
The Spiti & Ladakh regions have a lot in common and both share a similar physical & cultural character. In fact it is just a political boundary which separates the two regions. Both also enjoy the reputation of being one of the last remaining places in India (accessible by road) offering pristine mountain terrain besides retaining its idyllic charm and serenity. (Both are also called “Little Tibet” because of their resemblance to the terrain, climate & culture of Tibet)
Until recently, the regions of Spiti & Ladakh were beyond limits for foreign tourists - but now with the grant of “inner-line permits” they’re slowly opening up and whispers about the wonders of its awe-inspiring grandeur are also starting to gain volume. Some of the most treacherous roads meander their way through these intimidating mountains going over some very high passes ranging from 4500 to 5300 m above sea level (“claimed” to be the highest motor-able in the world - though its disputable, they’re amongst the highest, nonetheless) and crossing some very furious rivers over bridges constructed at some of the most unimaginable places by the unshakable Border Road Organization and the Indian Army. Since the roads are single-lane and intermittently paved it’s a roller-coaster ride of high-altitude passes, wash-outs, creek-crossings, landslides, glacial melts and broken bridges. Travelling through this region by road requires love for adventure and a certain amount of tenacity against the odds.
Our tours take you to the most stunning locations in the region some of them located above 4500 m above sea level and over some very high passes (“Khardung La” 5580 m, “Chang La” 5183 m, “Lachlang la” 5065m, “Baralacha La” 4870 m, “Kunzum La” 4650 m). Also, our tours are not rushed. Check out the itineraries and you’ll see that a 21 day tour has 7 “non-riding days” giving you sufficient time for rest, sight-seeing or exploration.
