Miyar valley: Yosemite of India, Stunning mountains, Crossing of 24 kms long Kang La glacier at Greater Himalayan Range, Southern Zanskar and its high villages

Pin Parvati Pass at an altitude of 5,319 m / 17,450 ft connects the Parvati Valley (Kullu) in the west and Pin Valley (Spiti) in the east. Pin Parvati can be crossed without any technical difficulties. In Parvati Valley, the trail begins at a relatively low altitude, which makes better acclimatization before crossing 5319m. After the large alpine meadows of Tunda Bhuj, you reach the large flat valley floor at Mantalai, where the moraines of the Parvati glacier come to an end. Leaving the valley, steep path to the left to base camp. A long stretch of a glacier crossing, the trail runs through steep scree to the small pass, which provides a panoramic view of the Great Himalayan range peaks, Parvati South, Parvati North, Pinnacle, Kullu Eiger all above 6`000 m. A steep descent to Pin River. The easy trail along the left banks of Pin River to Mudh (3820m), the last village in the Pin valley. With the extreme differences in climate, Pin Valley is much more rugged and barren than Parvati Valley. This cold desert valley with its snowy crags, cliff, jagged rocks, and other fossils makes Pin Valley a unique geological lab. Pin Valley National Park is home to snow leopard, red fox, marten, weasel, Himalayan Royle Pika, bearded vulture, golden eagle, lynx, and Tibetan wolf. The Pin area has been conserved as a national park since 1987. The main attraction of Pin Valley is the Chamurthi pony, known for its fast, sure-footed-on mountain terrain, moving safely on ice, and being well adapted to cost and harsh environment.

Due to the southern edge of the main Himalayan range, during summer monsoons often at the foothills determine the weather, which brings rain and snow around the pass. Mudslides at Pin Valley can cause unpleasant surprises during the monsoon, which brings the Pin Valley cut off from the main Spiti valley.  The best time to go for this trek remains is from mid-June to mid-July and from the third week of August to the end of September. But be careful after the third week of September, when frozen monsoon tails can bring huge snowfall at the main Himalayan range.
The picturesque village of Mudh,  where the trek ends is surrounded by barley fields. From here, a jeep safari into the Spiti valley offers opportunities to visit the sights of Spiti i.e. Kungri, Tabo, Dhankar, Lalung, Langza, Comik, and Kee-Kibber, before returning to Manali.

The high-altitude area between Tso Kar and Tsomoriri Lakes in the Changthang regions of Ladakh offers magnificent trekking and tempting non-technical peaks. The Changthang region is tucked in the northeast corner of Ladakh India and geographically, the parts of the high Western Tibetan plateau. In this trekking tour, you will see Ladakh Urial locally known as Shapo, Blue sheep, Tibetan wolves, and Kyang (Tibetan wild ass). Also, you will meet Changpa herders with Cashmere goats. It is a remote peak in the Korzok mountain range namely Spangnak Ri, Gyama groups of peaks, Yalung Nong and Mentok Kangri. Let's explore, traverse and ascend these colorful mountains with varied landscapes.

Before setting off from Leh, we took a couple of days to acclimate to hiking around to visit the Indus Valley and ancient colorful gompas. With proper acclimatization, we will set out to our starting point of wonderful trekking. From Leh, a journey of more than a hundred kilometers by road that connects Leh with Manali, once over the Taglang La to vast plains of More plains then we arrive at Tso Kar (White Lake) and from there to Riyul. We will set up camp at Nuruchan to start the trekking tour, en suite crossing the Horlam Kongka La at 4970 m, and ascending the surrounding peaks up to 5200m. Continue trekking and crossing Kyamayuri La (5430m) to Gyama Barma we will set our base camp at 5300 of Spangnak Ri the next day our first real peak option is Spangnak Ri (6390m). We summited Spangnak Ri in July 2024, truly a non-technical peak.

with a magnificent view towards the South are Gyama (6250m) group of peaks, Yalung Nong South (6080m), Mentok Kangri group of peaks and Chamser (6622m), Lungser Kangri (6666m) and Chalung Peak (6546m) towards the east. We will set up a base camp at Gyama and trek up Gyama East (6100m) and our next real peak option is Gyama Pyramid peak (6300m) also known as Gyama North with multiple summits in the area, hopefully, we can find a non-technical way to the true summit. We will use crampons, ice axes, and roped up with safety gear if we need it.

Finally wrapping up at base camp, traverse the flat scree slopes on the right side of Yalung Nyau La without a trail reaching the pass and descend to Korzok. From Korzok along the shores of Lake Tsomoriri to Kiangdam, we will take the trail from Kiangdam to Pang in the broad valley where we meet the Changpa nomads with flocks of Cashmere goats. Over the Thelakongka La (5020m) pass with panoramic views into the tight canyons. We will finish the trek at Pang, by car back to Leh on the Manali – Leh highway. Pang has network connectivity to Jio's mobile phone. Our caravan-style trek is surprisingly comfortable with our fully self-contained horse caravan.

This demanding and Challenging Trek takes us to the land of Changpa nomads living on the vast high plateau of Changthang. It focuses mainly on the life of Nomadic people and wildlife in motion.  After 2-3 days of well acclimatizing in Leh, we drive to Rumtse (85 km) at the foot of Tanglang la pass (5328 m). Beginning to trek from Rumtse we cross over passes of Kyamari la, Mandalachan la, and Shingbuk la before approaching Lake Tsokar. This tour is taking place in the Changthang region, which has an average altitude of 4000-5000m, higher than central Ladakh and Nubra Valley. In that case, a long acclimatization is a must before starting the trek.

The first stage of the area is relatively uninhabited, while the second phase after Tsokar up to the Tsomoriri Lake area is vastly dwelt by Changpa nomads. We visit several yurts along our trail and carefully witness nomadic daily life. Crossing over 3 high passes of Kyamayuri la, Kartse la, and Yarlung Nyau la we arrive at Karzok phu. One of the largest nomadic settlements in the region. Occasionally chances to see wildlife such as Kyang, black naked crane, Tibetan Antelope, Himalayan Marmot, and Blue Sheep. Finishing trek at Karzok we drive back to Leh via Chumathang.

Zanskar is a small Tibetan Buddhist Kingdom, lying just north of the main Himalayan range and about 120 miles long. It is part of the former Kingdom of Ladakh, and up until relatively recent times, its two ‘Kings’, or Gyalpos (precious rulers), mediated local disputes and, in ancient times, collected taxes for the main King of Ladakh.

Our Zanskar trek takes us completely off the beaten track, trekking through very remote country. Starting near Mount Nun, we gradually make our way through the mountains into Zanskar. Trekking up through a series of gorges that can only be navigated when water levels are low, we head towards Phuktal monastery.

This is one of our most exciting and diverse trekking routes, a stunningly beautiful and challenging trek through remote canyon lands, crossing many high Himalayan passes (most 5000+ meters), and trekking through the hidden, green valleys and villages of mythical Ladakh and Zanskar.

Spiti valley is located on the Tibetan border enclosed on the South East by Tibet, North West by Ladakh, and West by Lahoul and Kullu. Geologically and archeologically Spiti valley is a living museum. Spiti valley is high altitude cold desert and in its lunar landscapes are still stretches, where every other rock is fossils. Spiti valley is formed by the Spiti River, which rises on the slopes of Kunzom pass (4’551 m) and ends at the river confluence with Pare-Chu near Sumdo. The length of the valley is about 150km. Enroute Spiti River receives the water of many streams: Guindi Nala, Parilungbi Chu, Pin River and Lingti River. There are two routes to Spiti valley, one over Rohtang-pass (3’978m/13’050ft) and Kunzom pass and other via Shimla, Rampur and Kinnaur.
Spiti was once a part of the West-Tibetan Kingdom of Guge in the early 17th century. Guge became fragmented and Spiti, along with Lahoul, came under Ladakhi rule. A vital link of Great Trans Himalayan trade route from Lhasa to Kashmir and Spiti – Literally “The middle country” – found itself locked between the mountain range and International border, now a part of Himalayan tribal sub-division of Lahoul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh.
Today more and more travellers, tourists, trekkers, geologists and researchers are discovering this wonderful and last inhabitable world.
