Jeep-Safari: Naggar to Manali via Kinnaur and Spiti Valley

This fabulous trip follows the old trading route from the Indian plains up the Sutlej river into Tibet. From Naggar we will cross the Jalori Pass and enter Kinnaur district. This area is not well known yet striking with its sheer yet green drops and ancient tower-like temples. Following the valley up we pass Kinner Kailash, an impressive 6000m-peak, and continue into the tribal belt of the Spiti region while moving close to the Chinese border. As we ascend the vegetation will leave us and we enter the crystal-clear rock desert of the Tibetan high plateau. The mystic Hindu temples here make way for chorten and Mani-walls, signs of the Buddhist heritage of the area. We will visit the world-famous monasteries of Tabo, Dunkhar and Ki. There are manifold possibilities of side-trips depending on your interests. From Spiti we continue our great sweep into the Lahaul Valley and from there over the Rohtang Pass back to Manali. The trip can be done in one to three weeks. We will use good and reliable jeeps for transportation and spend the nights in local guesthouses.

Jeep-cum-walk: Mandi and Rewalsar Lake

This excursion to the old capitol of the district, Mandi, is a rewarding trip to more moderate altitudes. The small town offers temples and bathing ghats still in their original setting as few tourists come here and hence development is slow. A night in the palace of the Raja that has been converted to a hotel while still retaining its ambience of pomp and decay is a great experience. It is only a short drive to Rewalasar lake, a peaceful place surrounded by hills that is holy to Buddhists as the Guru Padmasambhava is said to have stopped here on his way to Tibet. A small hike away are the caves in which he is supposed to have meditated.

Trips to the Dev Boohmi, the spiritual heartland of the Himalayas, in the state of Uttaranachal

Following narrow winding mountain roads we can organize tours and treks into the traditional heartland of the Himalayas. The best-known spot probably is the source of the river Ganga at Gaumukh, a day's hike beyond the temple of Gangotri. From here hikes can continue up the glacier to an astounding arena of mountains overlooked by 7000m-peaks. We are well acquainted with the area and can show you amazing spots barely any other tourist will venture to. The famous shrines of Yamunotri, Gangotri and Kedarnath apart, we also offer trips and hikes to less well-known destinations that are of equal if not superior beauty. The Garwahl Himalayas have only recently become a major tourist attraction and the atmosphere is still raw and real.
