About This Tour

A full traverse of the Himalaya's changing faces. From the orchards of Kinnaur we climb into the cold desert of Spiti — the monasteries of Tabo and Ki, the highest villages in the world at Komic and Langza, the mirror of Chandratal — then cross the Kunzum and Rohtang passes down to Manali. Big, remote, and endlessly dramatic.

Highlights

  • The cold desert of Spiti
  • Ki monastery and the world's highest villages
  • Chandratal — the moon lake
  • The Kunzum and Rohtang passes
