Har Ki Doon valley is famous as the oldest and most beautiful pine and deodar
forests in Asia. It is situated in the Uttarkashi district at an altitude of
3,566 meters surrounded by the Swargarohini, Banderpoonch and the Black Peak.
In 1955 this area was brought under the Wild Life Reserve Programme and the
Govind Wild Life Sanctuary was established covering an area of 953 sq.km ranging
from an altitude of 1,300 meters to 6,315 meters. The sanctuary is the home of
the rare Himalayan snow leopard, the Himalayan black bear, the musk deer, the
Monal and the
Khaleej pheasant.
The trek to Har Ki Doon takes one through the unique
villages of the Jaunsar - Bhawar which as per mythology and local customs are
the home of the descendents of the Pandavas (Ref: Mahabharata). The system of
polyandry is still followed by the people of this area. This area is also famous
for the legendary wax palace (the "Lakhmandal" built by the Kauravas with the
idea of burning their cousins the pandavas in it. Ref: Mahabharata).

Spiti is a mountainous region situated in the northernmost part of India, close to the Tibetan border. Recently opened to foreigners, the region still has many unclimbed peaks and hidden valleys.
We begin in the busy hill station of Manali with lush green valleys filled with orchards and temples. We then drive across pastures higher up to Rohtang pass (3978m) before entering the arid Spiti valley. Here we spend some days visiting around monasteries and getting acclimatized before trekking through gorges and crossing Parangla (5490m) and descending to the high mountain lake of Tsomoriri in the Changtang plains - an extension of the Tibetan plateau. A fairly demanding trek across harsh terrain, this trip promises to offer a variety of landscape and architecture from thick forests to arid stunning landscape, delicately carved wooden temples to impressive monasteries perched high on cliffs to the expansive lakes set in the high plateaus with views of mountains far into Tibet.

lying to the north of the Great Himalaya on the Tibetan Plateau and to the south
of the Karakorams. It remained isolated for centuries to the outside world due
to its inaccessibility, and the strategic position it occupies in the northern
frontier. Ladakh has a rich cultural and religious heritage as can be seen from
the centuries old monasteries, some of them built on sheer cliffs and still
functioning actively. Ladakh offers its visitors some rare sights like the 130km
long expansive magical Pangong Lake, lying at 4267m and partly in China. The
spectacular view of the Changchenmo range of mountains reflects itself in the
ever changing blues and greens of the lake.
In this cultural odyssey, we travel through the ancient kingdom of Ladakh,
soaking in the beauty of its captivating landscape, visiting monasteries,
villages, palaces and humble homes, meeting people from all walks of life and
understanding their way of life and culture; a journey that will truly make you
want to return - such is the mesmerizing effect of the hospitable people in this
enchanting Buddhist land called Ladakh
