Our trekking terrain traverses some of the most breathtaking trails in the West Himalayan regions of Ladakh and Zanskar; Spiti and Kinnaur; Kangra and Kullu. While Ladakh, Zanskar and Spiti lie in the rain shadow and are home to nomadic and monastic cultures, Kinnaur, Kangra and Kullu are home to a more agriculturally dependant people and lie in the alpine belt.
We have graded our treks according to easy, moderate and strenuous levels according to the number of walking hours each day, the gradients of the trails and the altitudes to be crossed. Our normal hours of walking range from 3 to 4 hours per day. In some instances they may stretch a little longer to about 5-6 hours. On each trek our expert team of guides, porters, horsemen and camp helpers ensure your safety and comfort. They are there to look after your every need and at the same time trained to handle any eventuality. That's important to us. We have a storehouse of itineraries for you to choose from or if you prefer we can customize a trek exclusively for you. Just let us know the time of year you want to visit, the region you would like to trek in and the number of days you have. We'll give you the most suitable trek according to your schedule.
