This trip takes you through Kinnaur, Spiti and Lahul located in the dizzy heights of the Himalayas, with passes that remain closed for six months. Till now, a forbidden land it has now been opened and gives one the opportunity to discover what had been hidden from the world for centuries. The safari begins from Shimla, which used to be the summer capital of the Raj, and has an air that reminds one of a bygone era. From here we will proceed to the Sangla valley situated on the right bank of the Baspa with the gigantic Kinner Kailash peak (6500 M) forming the backdrop.

Next on the itinerary is Tabo, an ancient village on the left bank of the river Spiti. Tabo has a thousand years old gompa that is the only living gompa of the western school that died out in the twelfth century. The gompa has murals dating back to the 8 & 9 centuries AD and is regarded by many as next in significance to the Tholing gompa in Tibet. We head on to up at Kaza (3600 m), the district headquarters of Spiti. Here we will visit the famous Ki and Kibber monasteries. The trail from here heads to Jispa and then to Sarchu via the Baralacha Pass (4883 m) over the Zingzingbar plains. From here one can view the Mulkila and Bara Shigra peaks.

The last 4 days of our trip we would spend to explore Leh, the capital of Ladakh and its surrounding areas. Ladakh or Little Tibet is a wildly beautiful desert legion, high in the western Himalayan plateau. Ladakh is flanked by two of the most imposing mountain ranges, the Karakorams to the North, the Himalayas to the South. Its Monasteries are treasure house of Buddhist art with richly decorated thankas, scrolls and wall paintings, gold and copper statues and icons.
