Our Jeep Safari's go through some of the most scenic routes in the Western Himalayas. It's a time of discovering culturally rich tribal regions and routes once used by traders and nomads. We travel through roads dotted with picturesque villages and ancient monasteries perched precariously on craggy mountainsides. The areas of Kinnaur, Spiti and Ladakh offer you a great time with their friendly inhabitants and laid back lifestyle. It's Shambhala (endless paradise) at its breathtaking best. Rudyard Kipling summed it up quite poetically when he wrote of Spiti "Surely the gods live here". Our well maintained Jeeps are manned by expert, knowledgeable drivers who know the region well. Our support Jeeps carry complete camp equipment and staff to ensure that you're Jeep Safari is an experience you'll want to remember forever. We can also create a customized Jeep Tour in the areas you want to visit. Choose from our regular Jeep Safaris or join us in creating one of your own.

SJS1: The Extended Trans Himalayan Jeep Trail -16 Days
Delhi- Pinjore-Shimla-Kinnaur-Spiti-Lahaul-Zanskar-Ladakh.
Highest Altitude crossed: The Tanglang La Pass at 17,582ft.
This memorable Jeep Safari takes you from the plains of the Punjab to the high mountains of the Western Himalayas. Visiting the erstwhile capital of British India, we go through the Kinnaur valley with its lush green meadows, sparkling streams and snow capped mountains. Further the drive enters the hi-altitude desert regions of Spiti where the vast open river basins, wind crafted cliffs and plateaus elaborate on the meaning of space. Meeting people who follow a remarkable mix of Buddhism and Hinduism makes you feel you've come face to face with a rare form of inner spirituality. The best part of this safari is that you'll not only glimpse some of nature's amazing storehouse of transitional canvases but also people who seemed to have left time behind. The dramatic change in landscape is almost surreal as we drive from rich alpine pastures into rugged barren mountains and sculpted cliffs. Our final destination is Leh -Ladakh 14,000 above sea level.
NOTE: You have an option to turn south after leaving Spiti and Lahaul and emerge into the Valley of the Gods - Kullu. Manali is where Shambhala has its main office. From here you can return to New Delhi after spending a couple of days in this beautiful valley. The duration of this Jeep Safari is 12 Days.

SJS2: The Short Trans Himalayan Jeep Trail - Option 2: 14 Days
Delhi-Nalagarh-Manali-Jispa-Sarchu-Leh
Highest Altitude crossed: 17,582ft.
In this option leaving Delhi we reach the royal palace of the Nalagarh rajahs where we stay overnight. The next day our drive traverses the foothills to finally reach the mountain resort town of Manali. The Kullu Valley also known as the Valley of the Gods abounds in Apple orchards and quaint little villages.
Here we spend a couple of days for acclimatization before heading further north into the hi-altitude deserts of Lahaul, southern Zanskar and Ladakh. The road ahead involves the crossing of four high mountain passes before it enters the wide Leh plateau. En-route you pass surreal mud hills sculpted into bizarre figures and also a vast desert plain where the only occupants are groups of cuddly marmots, packs of Wild ass and the elusive Snow Leopard. This plain in season is home to the Changpa nomads who tend their flocks of Churu sheep known for their fine pashmina wool. Our final destination is Leh where you can spend an interesting time visiting ancient monasteries and experience the colorful life of these hardy people.

SJS 3: New Delhi-Pinjore-Shimla-Sarahan- Tabo - Kaza-Chandertal Lake- Manali: 12 Days
